Philadelphians love beer - so much that several local museums now have beer exhibits. Many of them featuring McGillin's Olde Ale House, the city's oldest bar. See exhibits then partake. Cheers!
"Check out "American Spirits: The Rise & Fall of Prohibition." During prohibition, Ma McGillin's shackled the front door of McGillin's. The bar survived by letting patrons in the side door for "tea.""
"Museum hopping can really make you thirsty. Quench your thirst at McGillin's Olde Ale House, Philadelphia's oldest continuously operating tavern and one of the oldest in the country. Cheers!"
"Find obituary of Pa McGillin, the visionary who opened McGillin's Olde Ale House in 1860. Originally called "Bell in Hand Tavern" but everyone called it McGillin's. Still going strong152 years later!"
"Early heads up for Foursquare friends - Take photos when you're at McGillin's this weekend. Big photo contest coming up on http://www.facebook.com/mcgillins."
