A Guide To Celebrating St. Patty's Day 2K11

Adrian Pelliccia Thursday, March 17, 2011Thu, Mar 17, 2011

It's St. Patrick's Day, and we all know it would be stupid to throw yourselves into the festivities without a plan. We've compiled a guide to happenings on and around campus today so you can plan your perfect pub crawl. For those of you who are looking to switch it up a bit, we've got a list of off-campus spots that might be more to your liking, although they may not be offering any special deals. Take a look, or resign yourself to a lot of aimless wandering (which will probably also be fun).

For the campus-bound traditionalist:

The Blarney Stone: Kegs and eggs starting at 10 (free breakfast!), $2.50 pounders all day, $6.50 Irish car bombs until 3, and cheap grill-eats all afternoon. Drinking game paraphernalia will also be provided.

There's more after the jump.

Blockley PourHouse: $5 Bud Light pitchers, $2 Miller High Life bottles, and $2 well drinks all day.

Cavanaugh's: $2 Miller High Life pints.

Drinker's: $.75 Miller High Life bottles, $1 Rolling Rock, $3 shots of Soco Lime and Cuervo.

For the off-campus type:

The Irish Pub (2007 Walnut St.): It's an Irish pub. It's pretty nearby. Need we say more? It's bound to be hoppin'.

Fado (1500 Locust St.): Start the morning off right with the breakfast of champions: pints and free pancakes. Live music and Irish festivities (like pipers and traditional Irish dancers) all day and into the night.

For the sober and charitable:

Rotaract's St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser: Rotaract will be selling St. Patrick's Day and Ireland themed clothing all day in Houston Hall to raise money for a health center in Uganda. You can pick up some pub-crawl appropriate duds and donate to a good cause all in the same transaction.
