An ale house establishedin 1854 by John McSorely, an immigrant from Country Tyrone. McSorley's in a City institution. A longtime favorite watering hole for writers, reporters and Tammany Pols, it made the headlines most recently in 1970 when, finally and not without protest - the original McSorley's maxim was "Gentlemen cannot drink in tranquility with ladies present" - it opened its doors to women. What is significant about McSorley's and the other Irish saloons it represents is that they used to double as information centers and hiring halls.
