St. Patrick’s Day in Streetsville

St. Patrick died March 17 in AD 461, but I’m sure if he were still around, he would pipe up with a thick Irish accent, beckoning all who are thirsty, to come to the table and enjoy a tall, cool pint of Guinness or some other green coloured beer.

Let’s face it though; the patron saint of Ireland would want you to enjoy Dublin’s finest dry stout, while celebrating Irish culture and its heritage.

So break out your best green attire, don your shamrocks; gather up a posse of your closest friends and head over to one of these fine establishments for a day/night of good times.

Below is a list of some of the places you can hit up and don’t forget to toast your friends with sláinte mhaith (good health) to which the normal response is do dheagh shlàinte (your good health).

Cuchulainns Irish Pub has set aside five days of festivities starting Friday night. The Bill Quigley Band kicks things off, followed by Daylight for Deadeyes on Saturday. For those who are up for it, an Irish Breakfast will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. An Irish luncheon will be served Tuesday, with live music and Irish dancers scheduled to closeout the party.
