McGillin’s Olde Ale House threw open its doors the year Lincoln was elected president. That’s shortly after the Liberty Bell cracked and long before ground was broken for Philadelphia City Hall. The beer taps have been flowing since 1860 -- making it the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia. It has outlasted Strawbridge’s, the Civil War and even Prohibition.

The Guenther House, listed on the Registrar of Historic Places, was the elegant home of Pioneer
Flour Mills' founding family.

The downstairs Restaurant reflects the Art Nouveau style of the 1920's, characterized by the use of stained glass, symmetrical lines and extensive plant motifs. Constructed between 1915 and 1918, the room reflects the miller's trade, with plaster bundles of corn and wheat used as supports for the mantel and wall buffet. (from http://www.guentherhouse.com)

In 1989, a grocery store that had been in the family for 80 years, was transformed into the modern and streamlined dining room it is today. Dotted with wife Angie’s personal touches to bring that taste of home to the restaurant, it provides a backdrop for the seasonally driven menu items produced in Sanford’s kitchen. The commitment to serving food made with products at their peak flavor is exemplified on the daily menu and on the ever-changing Four-Course Seasonal Menu.

Blue Hill Tavern is a contemporary fine dining American restaurant where you can enjoy great food and drink without sacrificing the comforts of home.

We want you to feel free to relax with a burger and beer as you would to sit down to a candlelit spread of filet mignon and champagne. The restaurant's menu and atmosphere is as diverse and welcoming as the city it resides in.

Come in, sit down, enjoy, and relax. (from http://www.bluehilltavern.com)
