Heads up: Any bar dedicated enough to dye our drinks green makes the cut. Our rundown for after Saturday’s main event.
Greenville Block Party
Why you should go: No one here is sorry for partying. Plus, it’s basically a one-stop shop. Each of the bars and restaurants from Stan’s Blue Note to just south of The Grape will host its own shindig, which usually includes $5 beer. Expect a few surprises like wine slushes at The Grape, limited edition green bottles of Bud and Bud Light at Blue Goose, and burgers at San Francisco Rose. Ten bucks gets you over the border.
Jump for more.
Granada
Why you should go: You’re eventually going to be hungry, and they’ve got snacks for cheap: $2 pizza slices, sliders, tacos, and hot dogs. Live music starts at noon on the patio.
Idle Rich
Why you should go: The bar’s opening early to serve Irish foods and play live Irish music from 3 pm to midnight. Bring your kilt.
BlackFinn
Why you should go: Because Addisonians need a place to gulp green beer, too. Expect $2.50 green Miller Lite pints, $3.50 Smithwick’s, Guinness, and Harp Lager, $3 Irish Car Bombs, and $2 green Jell-O shots. (Oh yeah, and Irish music.)
Londoner
Why you should go: Londoner and TABC have paired up to offer $6 yards of Heineken and Dos Equis and $5 Stoli Red Bull drinks. Londoner is also serving up green beer on tap, $5 Baby Guinness shooters, and $5 Car Bombs.
Meddlesome Moth
Why you should go: The Moth is your classy respite from all the street party commotion. The pub is tapping three Irish beers: Moylan’s Hopsickle, Kiltlifter, Old Blarney’s Barleywine. You can’t get much more authentic than that.
Corner Bar
Why you should go: This bar is great any day of the week, but throw in $1 green Jell-O shots, and we’re even more excited. Green beer and Boulevard Irish Ale are on tap.
Capitol Pub
Why you should go: The Dallas Firefighters Pipes and Drums Band perform at 2 pm.
Hacienda
Why you should go: There are $3 pints of Guinness, $4 Partida tequila shots, $5 Don Juan Bombs, and $5 Irish Car Bombs. Hacienda knows how to party.
State & Allen
Why you should go: It’s a little bit of fresh air, away from all the Greenville chaos, and you can snatch Bushmills for $3 and Guinness in a can for $4.50.
Nodding Donkey
Why you should go: All the open space keeps the fresh air moving and the people having a good time. Plus, $3 Bushmills, $3 Goldschlager drinks, and $4 Guinness are a deal. The in-house cocktail, served as “Donkey Punch” will be a festive green for the occasion, too.
Okay, so that was 11. One as a lucky charm.
