It’s time to break out the green clothes and shamrock swag — it’s St. Patrick’s Day.
From attending festive parties to cooking up corned beef and cabbage, there are many ways to celebrate. If you’re looking to spend St. Patrick’s Day the Irish way, grab a pint (or two, or three) at a local pub.
We’ve rounded up cozy bars and traditional pubs where you can raise a glass of Guinness and snack on Irish fare. 🍻
O’Flaherty’s Irish Pub 📍 25 N. San Pedro St.
Kick off the morning or catch your second wind at this local pub’s second St. Patrick’s Day Block Party from 10 a.m. through 2 a.m. Snack on traditional Irish food with no shortage of green beer, Guinness + speciality Irish drinks.
Tomato Thyme 📍 1560 Hamilton Ave.
Chow down on their St. Patrick’s Day menu additions like corned beef brisket + whiskey salmon with a Bourbon glaze. Chase that down with four Irish specialty drinks, including the “Dark Side of the Isle.” Don’t forget dessert — take your pick between a Guinness float + Baileys bread pudding.
