Downtown Phoenix can satisfy your urge to dance a jig this St. Patrick’s Day, with numerous wicked awesome parties serving up mugs of green beer and mounds of corned beef and cabbage.
SeamusSeamus McCaffrey’s & The Turf Irish Pubs
Of course you can count on these sister pubs to host a proper St. Patrick’s Day shindig. Starting at 2 p.m., and for just a $5 cover that gets you into both Seamus and Turf, revelers can enjoy live music from Kilted Spirit, The Waters, Dan McGuinness, and Tartanic. Both kitchens will be featuring traditional Irish dishes for $9 per plate, plus Jameson, Bushmill’s, and Tullamore Dew promotions throughout the day. Ollie the Trolley will be giving free rides back and forth so, pretty please, leave your cars at home. #safetyfirst
The Rose & Crown
Armed with the remedy to cure what “ales” ya, The Rose & Crown at Heritage & Science Park will be hosting a 10,000-square-foot beer garden with FREE admission. You can’t beat that deal with a blackthorn shillelagh!
CityScape
Come to Patriot’s Square for a day of food, fun, music and drink. Doors open at 4 p.m. and FREE tickets to this St. Patrick’s Day party are available at any CityScape retailer or restaurant.
Bands scheduled to appear: Irish House Music 4:00 p.m.;  Emerald Rising 5 p.m.; Aengus Og 7:30 p.m. George Killian’s Irish Red beer will be flowing and Tamlin’s Corned Beef & Cabbage Company will be serving up Ireland’s classic dish.
So, until Thursday:
Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
