McSorley's Old Ale House

New York, NY

About McSorley's Old Ale House

Open since 1854, McSorley's Old Ale House in the East Village is New York's oldest saloon and a mandatory pilgrimage for sports fans who want to drink where Abraham Lincoln, Babe Ruth, and John McEnroe have raised a glass. The bar serves only two types of beer — light and dark — and the walls are covered in memorabilia spanning 170 years of New York sports history, including boxing photos, Knicks programs, and Rangers pennants. It is the kind of place where the fan culture feels genuinely earned rather than manufactured.

Located in New York.
