Everybody gets into the 'Always Sunny' bar
You have to wake up pretty early to outfox this investor.
Mac's Tavern, the Old City bar that grand-opened Wednesday night, has as many investors as it has beer lines.
Most owners have ties to St. Joseph's Prep, including Matt Battipaglia, Ben Haney, Dennis Hart and Eric Vesotsky, plus It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator/star Rob McElhenney (and his wife/co-star, Kaitlin Olson).
But how about Preston Elliot, half of WMMR's Preston & Steve morning show. He's got a piece of the action, too.
Elliot, who did not disclose the amount of his stake, said he was ruminating about his investment portfolio one day with show producer Marisa. "I said I was looking to be adventurous but not go crazy," Elliot said. The show has a great relationship with the Always Sunny gang, as Elliot and Steve Morrison will be on camera for an episode next season.
Marisa mentioned the plans for Mac's, and ... well...
Now the father of three who lives in the suburbs and gets up at 4 a.m. every day owns a bar in Old City.
