I’ve spent the past 4 days compiling a list of St. Pat’s parties and specials Downtown. Let’s see what we’ve got:
Kooky Canuck will have its usual Green Carpet Party with Irish menu and drink specials all day. Here’s the list (sorry for the all caps, I copied and pasted from their Facebook event page):
$3.00 – 34oz Green Bud Light Draft
$5.00 Car Bombs
St. Patricks Day Menu
$100 for who wears the MOST GREEN!! Winner will be picked at 10pm.APPETIZERS : POTATO SKINS , BEER CHEESE DIP , IRISH SODA BREAD

The Silly Goose will have $3 Irish Car Bombs all day long, as well as Guinness and other specials.
The Peabody will have $2 St. Pat’s chocolate cupcakes in their deli all day long.
TJ Mulligan’s Pinch will have green beer, corned beef & cabbage and jello shots all day. Adam Levin will play 4-8 and MudPuppies 9-1. At 8:45 there will be bagpipers.
I don’t know if Max’s Sports Bar will have any St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, but if you’re a basketball fan they’ll have all the NCAA tournament games on their many TVs. I texted Max’s Foursquare “mayor” Mikey and asked if they’d be doing Thursday poker at 7 as usual, and he replied “Next stupid question?”, so it looks like poker will happen.
The Flying Saucer will have Irish dancers at 6 to kick off the evening’s festivities. Irish bagpipers at 7, music by the Real McCoys at 8. They’ll have an Irish food menu for lunch and dinner, and they’ll have Irish beers like Guinness and Harp on tap, as well as the rest of the Saucer’s beer selections.
Silky’s will have the traditional Raising of the Goat and Blessing of the Kegs. Festivities are slated to begin at 5, but remember that Silky operates on “Silky Time,” so if you get there at 6:30, 7:00 or later, you probably won’t have missed much.
Flying Fish will have green margaritas and 2 for 1 Killian’s bottles all day.
Perhaps the celebration I look forward to the most will be the one at Bardog Tavern tonight. It’s their third annual Erin-Go-Braghless party. Toss your bra on the bar and get your first drink for a penny. Attire suggestion for Suzy, if she’s reading this: Green tube top. They’ll have beer cheese soup made with McSorley’s, Guinness and McSorley’s specials, drink specials.
Today is Escape Alley Sundry’s first birthday. Tonight they’ll celebrate with music by Landon Lane and the Ivories, Smoochie Smith and the Stunning Cunning.
Hope to see everyone out tonight! Weather is perfect and it should be a fabulous evening to get your drink on.
