Mac’s Tavern in Old City Shuttering Its Doors

The Old City watering hole Mac's Tavern, known for part owners and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson, may have poured its last pint at 226 Market St.

In an Instagram post released on June 23, the bar thanked its customers but did not provide a reason for the closure.

"When we opened this bar, our hope was to create a welcoming, down-to-earth place where people could gather, share stories, laugh a little too loudly, and enjoy a drink or two among friends," the post said. "What we got was so much more: a vibrant, loyal, and loving community that made Mac's Tavern feel like home — not just to us and the staff, but to everyone who walked through its doors."

According to the Philly Voice, Mac's gained a national reputation as a tourism destination in Old City because of its connection to the FX sitcom. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, set in South Philly where McElhenney was raised, revolves around the fictional Paddy's Pub. The relationship between the two bars appeared as a "Jeopardy" question last year.

The outlet attempted to reach the bar for comment, but calls were not immediately returned.

In recent years, Mac's was a hangout for soccer fans to watch Wrexham AFC, the Welsh soccer club McElhenney co-owns with Ryan Reynolds. Their FX series "Welcome to Wrexham" follows the club's ascent through the levels of the English Football League.

Mac's has also hosted promotional events for Four Walls Whiskey, the Irish-American blend that McElhenney co-launched with "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" cast members Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day.
