About The Plough
A proper Irish pub in the heart of Old City Philadelphia — since 1997.
We Are So Glad You Are Here
A Warm and Friendly Welcome
When you come to The Plough & The Stars, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome. We sit in the Old City District of Philadelphia, just a stone’s throw from the birthplace of America at Independence Hall — an authentic Irish pub renowned for its friendly staff and patrons, its great atmosphere, and its highly celebrated food.
It’s the perfect place for a quiet pint, a tasty meal, your favorite sporting event, a lively music session, or simply to rest your feet a while. We’ve been part of the Old City landscape since 1997, and remain the favorite watering hole for locals and visitors alike.
Whether you want to enjoy the great pub atmosphere or find a quiet corner for yourself, The Plough has it all.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
