NOVEMBER EVENTS

 

 

friends Beaujolais Nouveau -- Join us on Thursday, November 17 for $5 glasses of Beaujolais Nouveau & half priced French onion soup. And check out the specials at shops & restaurants throughout Midtown Village.

Thanksgiving -- It isn't just about turkey & dressing, Thanksgiving is also about reuniting with old friends! On Wednesday, November 23 and Friday, November 25, we'll have both floors of McGillin's open for a wild night of partying. Sorry, we'll be closed on Thursday, November 24 'cause that day IS about the turkey and we want all day off to stuff our faces too!

Small Business Saturday -- Then on Saturday, November 26, we'll be celebrating Small Business Saturday with $5 pitchers of Pabst Blue Ribbon & Bud Lite at McGillin's. And watch for in-store promotions, entertainment, giveaways and even free meters throughout Center City Philadelphia -- on Saturday, November 26 and continuing every Saturday through December 24.

  CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
  ,

elvesSpirit -- McGillin's is the perfect spot for lunch after holiday shopping or a visit to Christmas shows. Every lunch comes with a free bowl of homemade soup. Some families make it a holiday tradition to enjoy our homemade, comfort food by the roaring fire. Kids love us too! But, we save our famous Poinsettia Punch and our "almost famous" Eggnog Martini for the grown ups!  

Shopping -- Speaking of shopping, don't forget our one-of-a-kind merchandise. A McGillin's thong is the perfect gift for that "naughty" girl you met here. Think of a McGillin's t-shirt for your drinking buddy. Click here to check out our large selection of McGillin's goodies.   

Santa at McGillin's
-- Whether you are naughty or nice, our friendly Santa is sure to bring a smile to everyone's face on Saturday, December 17 from 12 noon to 5p.m.  A great day for the little kid in you, but also a nice way to introduce your children to the traditions of McGillin's!  To top it off Chuck Walker, Philly's best balloon magician, will make an appearance at 3 p.m.


partyCaroling -- Feel too old to sit on Santa's lap? Doubting that St. Nick is the one eating your plate of cookies? Looking for a new holiday tradition? Sing your favorite carols on karaoke night at McGillin's - every Sunday and Wednesday. Click here to listen to Nicky singing "Santa Baby."  

 

Holiday Party -- Our second floor is available for fun, reasonably priced holiday parties for friends, families or co-workers. Let us do the work so you can relax and have fun! Click here to see menu options and pricing

Join us for Philly's favorite New Years Party for 151 years!  The best part is it's virtually free! Just $5 gets you access to McGillin's. We will offer our everyday low priced menu, beers, cocktails, plus a festive list of New Year's Eve specials!  We will be decorated to the hilt and hand out beads and hats.  At midnight will offer a complimentary champagne toast to ring in 2012 and our 152nd year of continuous operation!

New Year's Day

HISTORIC TRIVIA CONTEST

We have a drink for the Phillies - Phanatic Irish Bomb, an Iggletini for the Eagles and a Freezin' Flyer Fantini for the Flyers. It's time we toast the Philadelphia Union! What should we call it? Post your idea on our Facebook page by November 30. Click here to go to our Facebook page. Best answer wins a $25 gift certificate.
