Flying Saucer Draught Emporium in Addison will be hosting its first-ever St. Patrick’s Day block party on Monday, March 17 from 1 to 7 p.m., featuring an outdoor bar, food, and music by DJ Russ.

ALL MONTH LONG

The Warwick Melrose Hotel is giving you a reason to drink not just for St. Patrick’s Day, but for the full month of March. They will be serving Tipsy Leprechauns, Mint Chocolate Shamrocktinis, Shenanigans, and Sweet Lucks, which are all alcoholic beverages inspired by the luck of the Irish. Also, no need to scour Dallas to find a good Irish Reuben sandwich, because the Warwick Melrose Hotel will be making them exclusively during the month of March.
