You had a good time this weekend, shamrock-wise. Well done. Now get set for more shenanigans tomorrow night.
Herewith, the best places to take your green…
This Gold Coast Irish bar wins the award for the earliest opening—it starts with a 7am
beer-and-breakfast buffet, followed by a day of stilt walkers, free T-shirts and one green-clad Irish go-go
dancer. Make that at least one.
The Fifty/50 is giving you a chance to consume your yearly allowance of corned beef in one night. Be the
first to polish off 15 corned beef sliders, and win a cocktail party for all your friends. Cabbage not
included.
Even with a torrent of Irish stout flooding the streets of Chicago, brewmaster Hildegard van Ostaden wants
to give you a lesson in Belgian beer-drinking, and her enrollment fee is an extremely recession-friendly one
dollar. Consider it graduate studies.
This liquor boutique's party will have plenty of Irish beers, corned beef sandwiches and demos on making the
perfect Half-and-Half. But we think your time will be best spent in the Irish whiskey tasting room…
you know, mingling.
We've always found the haunting call of the bagpipes a bit tough to dance to. Stone Lotus agrees. Tomorrow
night, theirs is a pipe-free zone, with a retro dance party and a full slate of absinthe cocktails. Green
fairy, meet your leprechaun…
