PHILADELPHIA ALUMNI HAPPY HOUR
Join fellow GW alumni for a happy hour at McGillin’s Olde Ale House. For nearly 150 years McGillin’s Olde Ale House has been serving thirsty and hungry Philadelphians. Step back into time and enjoy the oldest and most famous tavern in Philadelphia. Few businesses can claim to have survived The Civil War, two World Wars, The Depression and PROHIBITION, but they have!

Wednesday, October 4
5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
McGillin's Olde Ale House
1310 Drury Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107

The happy hour features an open bar with draft beer, house wine, and rail drinks. GW will provide appetizers. There is no charge for this event, but please register so that we can get a headcount. We hope to see you there!

The pub can be a little tricky to find, so visit McGillin’s website for directions.
