McSorley’s Old Ale House; It's real, and it's spectacular
The oldest bar continuously operating in NYC
A few of us went to McSorley’s Old Ale House the other day. It’s the oldest bar in NYC, founded in 1854. Able Lincoln visited the place! Along with dozens, if not hundreds of celebs.
The 170-year-old saloon is located at 15 E. 7th Street. Interestingly enough, across the street from LaSalle, which was my father’s high school. It looks like a movie set, but it’s all real, and it’s spectacular.
McSorley’s sells only beer and sells only two types – dark or light, and they price – $2.75 per glass! You get two glasses with every order because of the head on the beer, so to compensate, it comes in two glasses.
I went back a few days later to buy t-shirts, I wanted to buy four. The bartender told me the price was $80.00. I asked, “Per shirt?” He replied, “No, total, tax included!” I think they are usually $25, but since I purchased four, they reduced the price a bit.
So beers are $2.75 and t-shirts are $20.00 – probably the best deal in town. And of course, the history is even better.
The place is full of history – all sorts of items around the bar, old photos on the walls, an old stove in the center of the room and so much more. It looks like a movie set, but it’s all real, all authentic. It’s a museum that you are drinking in! The items around the place have been there for 100 years or more. Literally.
It’s worth a visit. Stop by and have a beer or two. We’ll you’re gonna get two beers even if you order one, so sit down and enjoy!
