PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- For the first time since Prohibition -- 100-years ago -- McGillin's Old Ale House in Center City has shut its doors due to COVID-19. McGillin's is not considered an essential business.
It's been serving beer since 1860, making it the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia.
The tavern tweeted a picture of the doors being locked saying, "McGillin's survived Prohibition and we'll survive coronavirus too!"
