Patch's Picks: Where to Get Your St. Paddy's Day Green On Tonight!

No excuses to stay in! Here are a few spots right next door for green drinks, corned beef and more green fun than you can handle!

Aaah, St. Patrick's Day—one of the major holidays combining the best of several others. You can eat like its Thanksgiving. Dress up like its Halloween (green strongly recommended). And drink like it's Octoberfest. Score! It's not too late to get out and have fun.

Starting as a feast day as early as the 17th century, St. Patrick's Day has become one of the busiest days for bars and restaurants, with some, namely Irish pubs, going even more all out than others. If you're up for getting in touch with your true (or hypothetical) Irish roots, here are five local hot spots for some good eatin', good drinkin' and good pinchin' of that cute stranger who's not wearing green.
