St. Patrick's Day 2023

With spring break upon us, St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. This week and next, we’ve got some solid suggestions for those wanting to do some reveling. Let the green beer flow!

1.) West 7th is always #GrandCentralStation for partygoers in Fort Worth, and now with the aid of Top Shelf Crawls, the folks at Junk

Punch, Pour Decisions, Reservoir, Whiskey Garden, and Your Mom’s House invite you to partake in the Finnegan’s St. Patrick’s Bar Crawl 4pm-midnight Sat for those 21 and up. The festivities begin with a registration party at Whiskey Garden (2800 Bledsoe St, Ste 150, 682-312-7708) 4pm-6pm. There will be an after-party as well. “Be safe and have a great time! Please don’t drink and drive. Call a cab, Lyft, or Uber or have someone who will be a designated driver.” Tickets start at $12.99 on Eventbrite.com and include cover at all five bars, food and drink specials, souvenir beads, and koozies for all crawlers.

2.) Fat Daddy’s (781 W Debbie Ln, 817453-0188) knows how to par-tay, and for the Mansfield spot’s big St. Patrick’s Day Party (5pm-11:30pm Fri, Mar 17), enjoy some country tunes from Aaron Copeland and Jamie Richards. As for food and drink specials, there’ll be $10 Irish Nachos, $8 Lucky Leprechaun Cocktails (Malibu, Captain Morgan, sour apple, and pineapple juice), $7 Irish drop shots (Jameson with Bailey’s dropped into Guinness), $5 Jameson, and $4 green beer or Guinness cans. Clearly, they’ve thought this through.

3.) With plates like their famous Irish Nachos, which have been featured on a variety of national food shows, J. Gilligan’s Bar & continued on page 17

Grill (400 E Abram St, Arlington, 817-2748561) is great any ol’ day of the week, but if you’d like to kick it up a notch, as Emeril Lagasse would say, come to the 44th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Block Party on Friday. Doors are at 6pm, and Arlington Americana/ roots band September Moon will play at 9pm. Cover is only $6.

4.) The doors of The Londoner Pub (5120 Hwy 121, Colleyville, 817-684-8810) fly open at 11am on Fri, Mar 17, so that you can maximize your St. Paddy’s celebrating — dig into some corned beef and hash and wash it down with green beer all day. A bagpiper will perform throughout the day, and then the JBC Band will play at 9pm. “Come eat, drink, and be Irish!” There is no cost to attend.

5.) Founded in Burleson, craft brewpub Old Texas Brewing Co. has chosen Fort Worth for its second location (6333 Camp Bowie Blvd, Ste 200, 817-386-0752). Check it out on Fri, Mar 17, and hear the Mojo Brothers playing their brand of blues/country/ rock 8pm-midnight. At the Burleson location (112 W Ellison St, 817-447-2337), dance band 3 Drunk Monkeys will play 8pm11:30pm. You must be 21 and up to attend. There is no cover at either location.

6.) If you’d rather get away from the city, there’s always Sammy’s on the Lake at Lakeview Marina on Eagle Mountain Lake (6680 Peden Rd, 682-841-1122). On Fri, Mar 17, there will be all-day food and drink specials, plus live music by Russell Barretto 7pm-10pm. (As I just finished watching Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal on Netflix, let me be the one to remind you not to drink and drive by land or by sea. Keep boat safety in mind and live to party another day! Everyone say, “Thanks, Aunt Jenn!”)

7.) For a laid-back but delicious time in Keller, visit Texas’ only Irish brewing company, Shannon Brewing (818 N Main St, 817-337-9892), on Fri, Mar 17. Starting at 4pm, Shannon will host live music and offer special beer releases throughout the evening, plus the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck will make an appearance. Then on Sat, Mar 18, come back noon-9pm and get rowdy at a full-on St. Patrick’s Day Festival, where you can enjoy seasonal beer varieties (including green beer), bagpipe music, and more. For updates and a sneak peek at the festivities, visit Facebook.com/ShannonBrewing.

8.) Day drinkers, unite! Doors open at 3pm Fri, Mar 17, at Texas Live (1650 E Randol

Mill Rd, Arlington, 817-852-6688) for its annual Shamrocks & Shenanigans: DFW St. Patrick’s Day Party, featuring drink specials, live music, and an Irish dance-off. Tickets range from $10 to $15 at AXS.com and include different amounts of goodies in various shades of green. For example, the GA Plus Drink Package comes with three drink tokens to use for soft drinks or domestic beers and a St. Paddy’s Swag Bag filled with beads, sunglasses, and more. You don’t need a ticket to enter the venue, but one will guarantee you a spot if district capacity is reached.

ART Break!

Paddy’s Day with some corned beef and hash at The Londoner in Colleyville.

Spring break is here, and so is St. Patrick’s Day. What a time to be alive! Along with last week’s ADW column and this week’s Night & Day section, both available on FWWeekly.com, here are more ways to celebrate with eats and drinks. Mostly drinks.

1.) Fort Worth’s newest brewery is actually a cidery that is “not afraid to experiment with crazy ingredient combinations.” Atheneum Cider (12500 N Saginaw Blvd, Ste 106, 817-4760931) has been slow-rolling its opening with daily flight specials, trivia nights, and the like. With a few open nights under its belt, Atheneum is ready to officially start the party for St. Patrick’s Day at 7pm Friday. For updates, visit Facebook.com/AtheneumCider.

2.) Bedford Ice House (817-864-9898) and BoomerJack’s Grill-Bedford (817-267-0267) are combining forces for one big St. Patrick’s Day Tailgate Party 4pm-1:30am Fri between 2250 and 2300 Airport Fwy. Featuring drink specials like $5 Irish bomb shots and $4 green teas, Guinness, and Jameson, the tailgate also has live music: Ashmore (10pm-2am), Michael Lee (7pm-10pm), Justin Ross (4pm-7pm), and a DJ 8pm-1am. Cover is $10.

3.) Herf’s Denton County Taphouse (2655 W University, Ste 1031, Denton, 214-578-3578), a family-owned craft beer establishment that serves locally brewed ales, beers, and ciders, has a lot going on this week. Besides the St. Patrick’s Day Party that starts at noon on Friday with shot specials all day and beer specials from Hope & Sting Brewing and 3 Nations Brewing, teachers off for spring break can enjoy $5 pours all week by showing a school ID. For other fun happenings, visit Facebook.com/ HerfDentonTaphouse.

4.) While it will be open on Friday — being Irish and all — the main event at Hooligan’s Pub (310 E Abram St, Ste 150, Arlington, 817274-1232) is the St. Paddy’s Irish Whiskey Tasting 5pm-8pm Sat. Enjoy 1.25-ounce pours of Busker, Tullamore D.E.W., Proper Twelve, and Teeling Whiskey, a corned beef sandwich with sauerkraut and pickles, and then a 5-oz pour of Guinness to end the evening. Tickets are $49.99 on Eventbrite.com.

5.) Family-owned and -operated since 1993, Niki’s Italian Bistro & Lounge (5249 Davis Blvd, NRH, 817-788-9444) is also getting in on the Irish fun. Frisco-based multigenerational cover group The Neighbors Band will bust out classic rock tunes from the ’50s to today from 7:30pm to 11pm Fri. No cover.

6.) Denton’s Oak Street Drafthouse (308 E Oak St, 940-4335-0404) is also waiting until Saturday for their Irish shenanigans. Starting at noon, Oak Street is closing down the street and hosting its annual St. Patrick’s Day Block Party with on-the-street seating and free entertainment all day. Hear the Guinness Bagpipers at 3pm, followed by U2 tribute band Joshua Tree 5pm-8pm. As for drink specials, there’s a bit of everything. Lucky Leprechaun Cocktails and Irish Dublin Drops are $8, Guinness is $6, green beer drafts are $5, and at the $4 mark, you have your choice of Jameson or Shamrock Slammer shots.

7.) My favorite grilled cheese sandwich in the world (i.e., North Texas) has historically been served to me late at night at the now-defunct Green Room in Deep Ellum. Before the pandemic, owner Christian Baird opened a restaurant/venue in Burleson called Oscar’s Bar & Grill. It closed, then Green Room closed, and both facts made me very sad and non-cheesy. However, Oscar’s Bar & Grill (1581 SW

Wilshire, Ste 101, Burleson, OscarsBurleson. com) is making a comeback just in time for St. Paddy’s Day! Join Baird at the Opening Celebration 7pm Fri, featuring live acoustic music by Landon & Alexis Mitchell with Gary Lindsey. Welcome back!

8.) And now for the World’s Only St. Paddy’s Day Pickle Parade & Palooza. This 12th annual event is noon-9pm Fri and 7am-7pm Sat in Historic Downtown Mansfield. Festivities include beer keg races, pickle eating (and juice drinking) contests, fun runs and a 5 and 10K, live music, and an appearance by the Dancing Pickle Queens. Admission and parking are free, but bring some foldin’ money for the food and retail vendors. As of press time, Friday parking is still a mystery. However, on Saturday, a free shuttle runs from Legacy High School (1263 N Main St, Mansfield) to the festivities, which is your best bet. For a deep dive into the palooza-ness of it all, go to PickleParade.org.
