McGillin's Old Ale House (1310 Drury St.) has been celebrating their sesquicentennial anniversary all year long. On Wed., April 7, they will recreate the 1933 spring day when saloons were again allowed to sell low-alcohol beer, marking the first step in the process of repealing the 18th Amendment of 1919 and Prohibition.
Beginning at 6 p.m., free fireplace-roasted potatoes will be handed out to all patrons, the better to absorb historically-priced drinks -- $1.50
mugs of Victory Throwback Lager and
McGillin's 1860 IPA by Stoudt's, plus Bluecoat
Prohibition martinis served in a teacup.
The $18.60 dinner for two delivers two salads, two entrées and two mugs of 1860 IPA along with nostalgia. Those less intent on the speakeasy vibe can partake of the pub's regular Wednesday night specials, including 2 tacos for $1, $6.50 pitchers of Bud Light and Pabst Blue Ribbon, and karaoke at 9 p.m.
