Mcgillin's Olde Ale House

Love McGillin's. This place is a classic, been around forever. Always a great time here, the atmosphere, especially around Christmas is always amazing. The staff is great and the drinks are always cold. The people are always a fun bunch. I didn't rate the food because I've never eaten here, but I always hear good things. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you haven't already. Definitely a must check out spot

We finished our Christmas-themed Tuesday afternoon bar crawl at McGillin's Olde Ale House in downtown Philadelphia. This place was my favorite, based solely on the holiday drink prices and selection! And the decorations were first class. My daughter loved the gin-based "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and I was blown away by the "Santa's Slipper" Old Fashion crafted with maple simple sugar. Each of these cocktails was only $10.00!! Many cheers to McGillin's Olde Ale House, its staff, and Christmas in Philadelphia! Happy holidays to all.

This is the type of place you immediately feel like everyone is your friend, and you want to buy everyone a round. They have amazing specials for pretty much every holiday/sports game/event. It’s the perfect mix of a rowdy college/sports bar, great food and drinks, and history. It’s a must go in the city.

FUN. This place breathes the energy and character in Philly. From the moment you turn onto the narrow side street, it’s apparent you’re going to enjoy yourself. I’m in town on business and was intrigued by a proper pub. Stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar. Everyone knows Tammy, which was a good indicator who the regulars are and that they come back for a good reason. I ordered a house lager on draft & a shepherds pie (without even looking at the rest of the menu), listened to the camaraderie, and appreciated the history living inside the joint. Dating back to the mid 1800s, dawning every college pennant you could imagine, and FILLED with Christmas spirit… like I said, it was fun. Food and beer were great and I got outta there for $20. Overall a great find in downtown.

Amazing time at the oldest bar in Philadelphia. The staff were extremely friendly especially our waitress who was extremely attentive on a fairly busy night. Food is great and reasonably priced. They had open mic night when we were there but the vibe was so good we never made it upstairs. All in all this is a must visit in Philly.

Philadelphia’s oldest bars and probably one of its best! If you come to Philly, definitely check this place out. It’s kind of hidden away on a side street alley so you have to know where to find it. It is very popular and you will find lots of folks in there especially at night. It’s just a classic, old-school bar atmosphere which has an upstairs bar area as well. Gets a little rowdy late but crowd is a mix of young and old. My wife got the Chicken Parmesan for a late lunch and didn’t find it to be particularly good, but I wouldn’t go there to eat anyway. Drink up!

Highly recommend the muscles.. shepherds pie.. bangers & mash!! Hit it 2 nights in a row.. service, food.. all on point.. yeah, their wings are good .. but their Menu is awesome.. get the good stuff!! Correction.. 3 nights in a row.. The staff was VERY professional and friendly.. second night the bartender made beer runs for my stout.. apparently it’s only on tap downstairs.. I can’t recommend this place enough! And I grew up in the industry …
