It’s time to break out the green clothes and shamrock swagSt. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner.

From attending festivities to cooking up corned beef and cabbage, there are many ways to celebrate. If you’re hoping to spend St. Patrick’s Day the Irish way, grab a pint (or two, or three) at a local pub.

We’ve rounded up five cozy bars and traditional pubs where you can raise a glass of Guinness and snack on Irish fare. 🍻

B.D. Riley’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, 1905 Aldrich St., Ste. 130

The locally-owned + operated pub is a little patch of Irish comfort located in the heart of Mueller.

Its authentic supply of Guinness, steak poutine, and fine draft beers breeds even stronger tradition.
