McSorley's

McSorley's Old Ale House has been in operation at the same location on E. 7th St. since 1854, when it was founded by Irish immigrant John McSorley. It serves only two types of its own ale: dark and light. It is quite well known as one of the last pubs to admit women - and only after a Supreme Court case. The walls are adorned with articles and other memorabilia going back one hundred years. If you go to their website you can take a virtual tour and read their history. Many of the patrons are tourists or college students, and it is apparently also popular for bachelor and bachelorette parties. In the photo we have "Team Blair," a group of women with customized pink t-shirts, meeting for a bachelorette party. In the back room, I was approached by a member of a bachelor party (sporting an inflated plastic lamb) who wanted me to take photos. If you visit, be prepared for a raucous atmosphere...
