When Did McSorely's Open to Women?

And the answer is ...

c) 1970

The historic NYC pub McSorely's didn't open to women until 1970, after they were sued for discrimination by the National Organization for Women. Before then, the bar's motto was "Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies." Although ladies are now present, McSorely's still serves a cheese platter with raw onions.
