McGillin's Olde Ale House

Philadelphia's oldest continuously operating tavern, open since 1860, the year Lincoln was elected. Two families have run the place in all that time, and the walls are lined with photos and memorabilia from Philly institutions that didn't make it. The bar pours its own 1860 IPA on draft, the Angus burger is a reason to stay for dinner, and the room itself, part cathedral, part beer hall, part Irish pub down a narrow alleyway off Sansom.
