St. Patrick’s Day in Houston


Looking for things to do on St. Patrick’s Day in Houston? There are certainly a number of different things going on, especially parties. If you’re looking to drink some green beer and have a great time with your friends, you’ll find many different opportunities. Here are just a few events for both families and adults.

One of the top pubs to visit is Lucky’s Pub. They throw a huge party on St. Patrick’s Day itself. It kicks off at 6 in the morning with breakfast, including Lucky Charms series (it’s magically delicious!). The bar opens up at 7 a.m., and throughout the day, ten different bands will play for your entertainment. They will also, of course, serve green beer and other treats.

If you’d rather drink something other than green beer, you may want to head over to Kenneally’s Irish Pub. Their bartenders are known for their skill at pouring a great pint of Guinness, but they have more than that. They are also known for their great bar food, including pizza.

Another option is the Absinthe Lounge. Celebrating the drink that was a favorite of James Joyce, the lounge is a favorite of many. They also have some great food, including quesadillas, panini, and pizza. Other great places to drink include Grum Bar, Bullpen Pizza & Sports Bar, Stag’s Head Pub, Sam’s Boat (featuring a St. Patrick’s Day costume contest), and the Shakespeare Pub.

Unfortunately, this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade was held on March 13, so it’s too late to attend this great event. It featured Grand Marshalls David Carr, Michael Carr, and Billy Carr, three Irishmen who have been active in the Houston Irish community. The St. Patrick’s Day parade is often held the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, so be ready for it next year.
