A Man Full of Trouble, built in 1759, is Philadelphia’s only surviving colonial tavern. Recently restored and honored in this year’s Preservation Achievement Awards, it now operates as a tavern museum, with a working bar on the first floor. Upstairs is a three-room museum that tells the stories of the tavern and the “urban renewal” of the Society Hill neighborhood, along with some early Philadelphia and revolutionary history. 

Join owner Dan Wheeler who purchased A Man Full of Trouble in 2021 from the University of Pennsylvania, on a tour of the tavern and and stay for a drink after!
