McGillins Old Ale House

No list of Philly bars would be complete without showing some love for McGillin's. This 146-year-old tavern is the oldest in Philly, opening the year Abe Lincoln took office and outlasting Strawbridge's, the Civil War and that pesky 18th Amendment. Keeping it fresh with topically themed drinks--last year's special was the King Tutini, inspired by the Franklin Institute's exhibit, and each football season brings the return of the deadly Iggletini--McGillin's has traditionally served more Stoudt's draft beer than any other tavern in the state. We'd say this ain't your grandma's bar, but it actually could've been.
