Sláinte!
McGillin’s Olde Ale House opened the year Abraham Lincoln was elected president. Originally called The Bell in Hand, the tavern opened 154 years ago inside a small row house. The laborers who frequented the place just called it McGillin’s after William McGillin, the Irish immigrant who owned the bar and raised his 13 children upstairs. What better place to celebrate St Patrick’s Day? McGillin’s will open one hour early (at 10am) on March 17. The historic bar is already decorated to the hilt and serving a rotating list of hearty Irish food specials and authentic Irish Stout, Irish Potato Martinis & more.
