Officially, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until Wednesday, but that’s not stopping a lot of people from celebrating early this year. The regular staple of Irish & Irish-themed Pubs around Columbus are bound to be hopping all weekend long. The lineup includes Brazenhead and Byrne’s near Grandview, Mac’s Cafe in the Short North, O’Shaughnessy’s in the Arena District, Callahan’s on Park Street, Claddagh’s in the Brewery District, Patrick J’s in Clintonville, Fado at Easton, McFadden’s at the South Campus Gateway, Flannagan’s in Dublin and newcomers Cavan Irish Pub located in Merion Village and Michael O’Toole’s Downtown.
Additionally, the city of Dublin will be hosting their annual St. Patty’s Day parade on Saturday at 11am. The city of Columbus will hold their Downtown parade on Wednesday at 10:30am.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, be safe and have fun!
