Here’s a summary of St. Patrick’s events going on Downtown this weekend through Tuesday:
Saturday, March 14
Beale Street: Parade at 4 PM; Blessing of the Kegs 6:30 PM; Pub Crawl begins at 7 PM. Also, Silky does the “Raising of the Goat” every year, where he raises a goat up on a platform, and people look at the goat and drink green beer.
Red Rooster will have $2 green beer immediately after the parade. Later in the evening, Aquanet will play.
Sunday, March 15
Kooky Canuck will have $2 34 oz. green beer, $3 Guinness, $4 Jameson shots, and $5 Irish car bombs all day long. $100 cash prize to the person wearing the most green at 9 PM.
Orleans on Front is having a crawfish/shrimp boil in the parking lot. Hoop will be serving beer from a Budweiser truck. There will be an all-you-can eat price including first beer, and a to-go price. Selection Sunday will be on the TVs inside Orleans and the Voodoo Room. Music by DJ Tree. (Yeah I know this isn’t really a St. Pat’s event… but it’s going to be a lot of fun.)
Week of Monday, March 16
Chef Patrick – not to be confused with St. Patrick – will run Irish lunch specials all week long at the Majestic Grille.

I’ve confirmed that the Flying Saucer will do their usual Tuesday night trivia with Mikey the Substitute Trivia Guy. According to the Livin’ It Up Downtown newsletter, they’re doing a St. Pat’s party, but did not give details.
Calhoun’s will have a Hard Luck St. Patty’s party: Buy a Guinness for your chance to win the pot o’ gold, and play bar bingo for other prizes all night. Party starts at 6 PM.
Bardog Tavern will have $3 pints all night (that’s their normal Tuesday Pint Night special) and will have an “Erin, Go Braghless” party with $2 green beer all day.
Capriccio Grill will have a three-course Irish Dinner that night from 5 to 10.
