Shane hanging a rifle that was made in 1854, the same year Ol’ John opened up McSorley’s. Like the flag, and many of the items on our walls (or ceiling) it was gifted to us by a loyal and devout McSorley’s patron and each item has a backstory that you’ll have to come in a learn for yourself —over time and a few mugs of our legendary ale. Wishing all of you a very happy Easter. God bless, stay well, and enjoy the day with your loved ones. —McSorley’s Old Ale House

From the McSorley Archive. We’ve boxes of old newspapers, photos, playbills, ephemera. And the world keeps turning —just as Spring turns its back on Winter each season.

St. Patrick isn’t even awake yet but these guys, his devout followers, have been here since sunrise. Amen.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.

By court order, and starting on August 10, 1970, McSorley’s Old Ale House, a men-only drinking establishment for 116 years, had to allow women to enter the bar. On August 11th, the men inside the bar still weren’t accepting of this and poured ale over the head of the Vice President of the National Organization for Women, Lucy Komisar, who wished to try our famous ale. We can assure you, things have gotten better since.

It’s crazy to think of all the souls who have stood right here, through all the years this bar has stood. If you are one of those who’ve bellied-up —we thank you and welcome your joyous return. The bar awaits.

Yesterday we celebrated the HUNDRED and FIRST (101st) Birthday of World War II Veteran, Sgt. Harold Raddish. Before we enjoyed some cake, we sat in the back room to have lunch, burgers, a few darks (his favorite) and discussed Harold’s time in France and Germany during the war, the Battle of the Bulge, surviving in foxholes (he said his shovel was the most important weapon that saved his life more than once), getting captured by the Nazi’s, the tossing of his dog tags so as not to be outed as Jewish, and the rations had for four months in a POW camp before the British arrived and liberated him and his fellow American soldiers in April of 1945. A video of this special moment at McSorley’s will be released shortly. Stay tuned.

Today is this man’s very special birthday and we’ll be celebrating it this afternoon starting at 12:30. Please join us and say hello (and give a hug) to World War II Veteran, Sgt. Harold Raddish. We’ll be discussing and filming his story shortly. Stay tuned for more.

Shane Buggy started working at McSorley’s in 2008, age 21. Brought over from Ireland by his Uncle, Richie Buggy who started working in McSorley’s as a waiter in 1963 and when he was just 18 years old. The second photo is from Richie’s first day on the job. We don’t give any training when it comes to carrying mugs. Either you got it, or you ain’t got it. And Richie surely had it. As does his nephew, Shane.
Big thanks to Sean Sweeney for the great photo of Shane.

Two shells from two wars. The first, a momento from Omaha Beach, WWII. The other, Trench Art from the First World War created (and signed) by one Paul L. B. Anderson who served with the American Expeditionary Forces under Major General John J. Pershing.

If anyone has a photo and info on Paul L. B. Anderson we’d love to learn more.

And we’ll be doing a podcast with WWII Veteran Harold Raddish on November 24th, his birthday, when he turns 101. Stay tuned.

God bless all our Veterans.
