Pubs have become quite popular across the world these days due to their laidback, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. Some of the best pubs can be found in New York City, NY. Listed below are just three of the most famous pubs in New York City today.
McSorley’s Old Ale House
Often referred to as McSorley’s, this pub was established in 1854 and is New York City’s oldest continuously operated bar. It is tagged the oldest “continuously operated” bar, as there are older existing bars, but they have been closed for periods of time for one reason or another. McSorley’s, though, has been open and running for over 150 straight years now.
This pub offers an authentic pub experience, as it looks like it has been unaltered by time. It offers a great deal of history, as it still has sawdust covering the floors and still contains the original backroom where the ale flowed though during the Prohibition. One of the most well-known details about McSorley’s is that it has only allowed the admission of women since 1970 after a very controversial Supreme Court case.
