McGillin's Olde Ale House is a beloved Philadelphia pub, the oldest continuously operating in the city, dating back to 1860. This Irish-style pub offers a wide selection of regional beers and classic American-Irish pub fare, including the popular Banger and Mash dish. The friendly staff, with some members having been there for over 20 years, provide great service and a warm atmosphere. The pub is a popular spot for a good time, with affordable drinks and a lively environment perfect for catching a game, celebrating with friends, or simply enjoying a pint in a historic setting. The atmosphere is very cool and can't be beat, although it can be crowded, especially on weekends, making it hard to find a seat. The service staff, including bartenders, security, and servers, are known for their grace and genuine care, even during busy times. Many customers appreciate the place's rich history and lively ambiance, though some suggest that quieter moments during dinner would improve the experience. Overall, McGillin’s offers a great mix of good drinks, friendly service, and a historic feel that makes it a must-visit bar in Philadelphia.
