If you're a history buff, consider a trip to Philadelphia to celebrate Independence Day at the City Tavern, where the very first Fourth of July celebration was held! Delegates from the First Continental Congress used the tavern as an unofficial meeting place before and after sessions in nearby Carpenter's Hall. Visitors can also enjoy beers that our nation's forefathers brewed, including Thomas Jefferson's 1774 Tavern Ale.

In fact, the very first July 4th celebration took place in a tavern. Visit one of these historic American bars this Independence Day!
