McGillin's is the bar where couples meet ... and get married

McGillin's has been a Philly staple for over 160 years and it's Philadelphia legend that more people have met and fallen in love in this Irish Pub than any other bar in Philadelphia. The bar was established when Abe Lincoln was president and survived through prohibition, but there's no doubt that love is in the air. Couples come back on their wedding night, have their rehearsal dinner, take engagement photos, and celebrate their anniversary at McGillin's and the tradition of this pub has been passed down through generations.
