McGillin's Olde Ale House

Leap into a time warp at this circa-1860 landmark , a great place a beer at amazing prices; though a frat-party atmosphere reigns in a building where our forefathers dreamed of grandeur.

The oldest continuously operating (since 1860), family-run, beer-centric tavern in the city . Know this: they don't serve Guinness . You can get O'Hara's, a stout exclusively brewed in Ireland. Read more
