Where To Party Till You’re Green On Saint Patrick’s Day

Have plans for Saint Patrick’s Day? You don’t have to go all the way into Manhattan, you know. There are plenty of festivities planned right here in Astoria at some of your favorite local spots. So grab some friends, throw on that one green shirt you have that you wore last March, and get out there! Since the 17th is on a Sunday, you’ll have the whole weekend to whoop it up. Just be sure to drink lots of water before Monday morning.

Partake In The Pubcrawl

A couple of your favorite neighborhood pubs are hosting a pub crawl, sponsored by Dogfish Head, starting at 1 pm on Saturday, March 16. Participating spots include Passage, Judy & Punch, Albatross, Sissy McGinty’s, and more to be announced. The festivities kick off at Shillelagh Tavern, with food, drink specials, and a photobooth. Meet up at the rest of the bars for raffles and prizes. Get your tickets on Eventbrite. VIP tickets get you a swanky green jersey.

Here’s Where To Go If You Really Like Van Morrison

LIC Bar‘s annual tribute to Van Morrison is happening at 9pm on Thursday, March 14. It’s a live performance featuring the songs of Van Morrison performed by over a dozen singers accompanied by a backing band, and there’s no cover. Since it’s happening before the big weekend, you can take in the show and then continue the festivities over the weekend.
