In Short
Don't bother looking for a sign; there isn't one. You either know where McNally's is--wedged between an optician and Hill Tavern--or you don't. Not knowing would be a shame, though, since this Chestnut Hill bar is as English as any Philly pub gets. It's not just the ancient-looking wooden beams or the pewter beer tankards hanging on the wall. What makes this place pub-like is the mix of locals--moms with babies, families eating together, octogenarian Hillers and married men.

We stopped here for lunch during a street festival. Wow! They have several signature sandwiches that will knock your socks off! One is a pile of fresh turkey breast over homemade stuffing and craberry sauce topped with hot gravy and grilled to perfection! It is called the Dickens. This tavern has been featured on the Food Net work around Thanksgiving for its unique food. This family owned business is not marked with much more than a brass plate on the door. Keep your eyes open! It is worth looking for!

What a cute old-timey bar/restaurant. Years ago I was having a drink , packed like sardines, and the door flew open--the crowd parted and a 4 piece Scottish band--bagpipes and all-- came marching in, playing their music. Everyone went nuts! It was such fun. And the famous Schmitter sandwich and Thanksgiving sandwich are soooo gooood!! Cozy atmosphere, great food and beers--love it!

Know Before You Go:
Thankfully there's one distinctly un-British feature: No smoking allowed.
On The Menu:
A trip to McNally's isn't complete without trying the bar's signature sandwich, the Schmitter. A glorified cheesesteak, the Schmitter revs up the classic with grilled salami, tomatoes and "special sauce" all piled into a kaiser roll. Sounds odd; tastes great.
Smoking Permitted:
No
