McGillin’s Old Ale House – Philly’s oldest Irish bar and one of the oldest in the entire United States – has done it again, and this time, it’s nothing short of divine. Celebrate the life and legacy of Pope Francis with a new, limited-time food and drink menu.
Remembering Pope Francis
In honor of the late Pope Francis, his historic visit to Philadelphia, and his incredible legacy, McGillin’s has unveiled a special food and drink menu that’s as reverent as it is ridiculously fun.
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you can celebrate the life of Pope Francis with a lineup of cleverly crafted treats. For the beer lovers, there’s the “Pap-ale,” a brew as smooth as a Sunday sermon.
If you’re feeling a little more Philly-proud, order up the “Vatican Citywide” – a divine twist on the classic citywide special.
And for those in the mood for something a little more saintly, the “Pope-tini” is ready to bless your taste buds.
On the food side, McGillin’s is serving up comfort with a heavenly touch.
The “Good Shepherd Pie” is rich and hearty enough to satisfy and soul. The “Galilee Fish & Chips” pays tribute to the fisherman roots of the apostles. Then the “Basilica High Meatloaf” stands tall and proud, much like the grand cathedrals it’s named after.
And yes, you can even snap a selfie with their life-size cutout of Pope Francis -because a little divine inspiration never hurts.
McGillin’s has been, outlasting wars, pandemics, and everything in between. Moreover, all while keeping the spirit of Philadelphia alive and kicking.
Known for its warm hospitality, legendary beer selection, and sense of humor, McGillin’s once again reminds us that honoring history, faith, and community can (and should) come with a pint in hand and a smile on your face.
Cheers to tradition -and to McGillin’s, where every visit feels a little like coming home.
