Cheers to McGillin's
On National Beer Day, join The Historical Society of Pennsylvania for a talk about the new book, Cheers to McGillin’s: Philly’s Oldest Tavern. Christopher Mullins, Jr., co-owner, and Irene Levy Baker, author, will share colorful tales about the bar’s 165-year history, including its survival through the Civil War, two World Wars, two pandemics, a fire, and even Prohibition. The book includes photos from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, a foreword by former Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, and food and drink recipes. Each attendee will receive a discount coupon for lunch at McGillin’s and at McGillin’s new Shoppe, only one block from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
