Tonight: You Drink, We Drink

We’re not talking about drinking the dyed green fountain water at Pershing Square. But if you are hanging around for the parade, it’s one idea.

The patio at McCormick's and Schmick's in the Library Tower is around the corner where LAist’s Snow Tempest has been spotted with a pint or two of Guinness.

There are enough guides out there to make today’s holiday everyday, or every Friday at least. LA Times has a guide that completely ignores the Valley and Daily News is not there to save the day. Even Daily News’ LA.com has nothing to say for the Valley.

Red Buddha Lounge owner and Glasgow native, Gianni Capaldi first graced L.A. with The Green Frog in Sherman Oaks. A little more north in Van Nuys, one can find Irelands 32.

And if you really want to brave it further north (or you live up there), the only place where CalArtians and locals are truly peaceful is at Mulligan’s in Santa Clarita.

Whether you end up on Main Street in Santa Monica or playing bartender at home, you need to celebrate the night with at least one Snake Bite and Black.
