Daily News | Philly’s only Revolutionary-era bar | Morning Newsletter
A Man Full of Trouble Tavern is Philadelphia’s only surviving pre-Revolutionary War bar.
It’s been closed for decades, but that didn’t stop generations of Philadelphians from checking out the charming piece of history. When Dan Wheeler, an Old City lawyer and real estate investor, saw it on a real estate listing two years, he jumped at the chance to buy it, with a dream to bring life back to the old bar.
Fast forward to this past June, he teamed up with the Chester County brewery Succession Fermentory for a Philly Beer Week pop-up at A Man Full of Trouble. It was the first time drinks had been served there in more than a century.
