It’s widely rumored that Rob McElhenny — one of the creators of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and the actor who plays Mac on the show — has purchased a bar in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia just around the corner from where the fictional Paddy’s Pub on the FX show is located. According to Eater, the bar — formerly Anthony’s, then Skinner’s — will be named Mac’s Old Towne Tavern and co-owned by McElhenny’s wife Kaitlin Olson, who plays Sweet Dee on “Sunny.”
Sounds pretty cool. If they serve wine in a can, I’m there. And that’s saying a lot, because I generally prefer drinking at home by myself. No, YOU have a problem!

They Better Have A Freakin Glory Hole lol
They can’t call it Paddy’s because MacElhenny will have to sue himself for copyright infringement
Yes Chardie, Dee is hot. And Kaitlin is a really nice girl.
I can’t wait to try their secret microbrew.
So lets get down to brass tacks. Is Dee hot? I mean, I’d fuck’r, but I really just need a warm place to stick it these days.
The only old town tavern is GARY’S Old Towne Tavern. Period!
We (Philly Tourism) will need to revise our It’s Always Sunny itinerary (www.gophila.com/sunny) to include this bar! It’s in a great location in Old City, too. Right on Market St.
Try living in podunk Montana for the last 9 years.
Eh, whatever. Philadelphia still fucking sucks.
I have never been so homesick in all my life. Time to try and raise money for a trip back home to the Promised Land of Philadelphia.
I hope he’s wearing something made out of windbreaker.
Hopefully they don’t have any doors marked “Pirate”
As long as Chemical Toilet and/or The Pecan Sandies are on stage I’ll take a shot in the mouth.
First dick towels, now this. Next, I want to buy some kitten mittens.
Haha it’s not “olde” it’s “old”. This isn’t Albuquerque.
I hope it’s better than the fake “Cheers” franchises in the airports, with the life size statues of Cliff and Norm…FAIL.
I hope that they have weirdo Vietnamese dudes playing Russian Roulette in the basement.
Time to start prepping my liver vor a visit!
Why don’t they just call it Paddy’s?
@Rich – edited. Sorry, I don’t know the sixth borough very well.
Riot punches all around!
it’s Olde City section, holmes
I’m already excited to make a pilgrimage for Flipadelphia 2010.
Let’s hope they don’t sign the bar up to host a dance marathon and put the bar up as the prize.
