Main Line Pub Among Best Irish Pubs In Philly, Metro Says

Chances are you're going to head out for a pint this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. And in on the Main Line, you'll want to stop by McCloskey's Tavern as it was the only suburban pub to be featured on a new list of the best Irish pubs in Philadelphia.

Metro Philly created a list of the best Irish pubs in the city and the authenticity of McCloskey's Tavern in Ardmore landed it among the pubs that are in Philly proper, despite it being on the Main Line.

Here's what Metro has to say about McCloskey's:

On tap, they currently have Allagash White, Chimay Grand Reserve, Conshohocken Motherload Russian Imperial Stout, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Goose Island Sofie, Sterling Pig Shoat Pilsner, Stella Artois, Guinness and more.
