Let&#8217;s see what we&#8217;ve got:<\/p>\n<p>Kooky Canuck will have its usual Green Carpet Party with Irish menu and drink specials all day. Here&#8217;s the list (sorry for the all caps, I copied and pasted from their Facebook event page):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>$3.00 &#8211; 34oz Green Bud Light Draft<br \/>\n$5.00 Car Bombs<br \/>\nSt. Patricks Day Menu<br \/>\n$100 for who wears the MOST GREEN!!

Adam Levin will play 4-8 and MudPuppies 9-1. At 8:45 there will be bagpipers.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if Max&#8217;s Sports Bar will have any St. Patrick&#8217;s Day celebrations, but if you&#8217;re a basketball fan they&#8217;ll have all the NCAA tournament games on their many TVs. I texted Max&#8217;s Foursquare &#8220;mayor&#8221; Mikey and asked if they&#8217;d be doing Thursday poker at 7 as usual, and he replied &#8220;Next stupid question?&#8221;, so it looks like poker will happen.<\/p>\n<p>The Flying Saucer will have Irish dancers at 6 to kick off the evening&#8217;s festivities. Irish bagpipers at 7, music by the Real McCoys at 8. They&#8217;ll have an Irish food menu for lunch and dinner, and they&#8217;ll have Irish beers like Guinness and Harp on tap, as well as the rest of the Saucer&#8217;s beer selections.<\/p>\n<p>Silky&#8217;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 &#8220;Silky Time,&#8221; so if you get there at 6:30, 7:00 or later, you probably won&#8217;t have missed much.<\/p>\n<p>Flying Fish will have green margaritas and 2 for 1 Killian&#8217;s bottles all day.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the celebration I look forward to the most will be the one at Bardog Tavern tonight. It&#8217;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&#8217;s reading this: Green tube top. They&#8217;ll have beer cheese soup made with McSorley&#8217;s, Guinness and McSorley&#8217;s specials, drink specials.<\/p>\n<p>Today is Escape Alley Sundry&#8217;s first birthday. Tonight they&#8217;ll celebrate with music by Landon Lane and the Ivories, Smoochie Smith and the Stunning Cunning.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see everyone out tonight! Weather is perfect and it should be a fabulous evening to get your drink on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve spent the past 4 days compiling a list of St. Pat&#8217;s parties and specials Downtown.
