McCusker's Tavern was fifty years old as of fall 2018. This South Philly bar was wanted as a shooting location for the Vince Papale film, Invincible. "[The owners' sons] figured it wasn't worth it for some indie film. After Mark Wahlberg signed on, [the owner] decided, 'I'm never saying no to anything again.'" This information and quote are from the Phila. Inquirer, 11/21/18, p. E2, in a column by Samantha Melamed.
