Looking for somewhere to celebrate with a pint?

There's nothing like a full Irish breakfast, a perfect pint, or rollicking Irish music. If you don't have any plans for Thursday yet, head to one of these pubs for a St. Patrick's Day full of eating, drinking, and making merry. Don't forget to wear your green!

The Auld Shebeen (3971 Chain Bridge Road | Fairfax, VA)

The Old Brogue (760 Walker Road | Great Falls, VA)

Start off the day with a full Irish breakfast in Katie's Coffee House or drop in later for a special prix fixe meal. Lunch will be $40 per person and dinner will be $45 per person. The special menu on Thursday is for an entrée and dessert of your choice. The Old Brogue's St. Patrick's Day Pub Bash will be just a $10 cover charge for a commemorative button and live music throughout the day.

Ireland's Four Courts (2051 Wilson Boulevard | Arlington, VA)

Locals flock to Ireland's Four Courts in Arlington for St. Patrick's Day fun. Live music starts at 10 a.m. and the restaurant will be serving a limited lunch and dinner menu all day until 12:30 a.m. Given the high volume of patrons expected and the outdoor patio, there will be no on-site parking, so plan accordingly!

These are just a few of the spots around town that will be rolling out the green carpet on Thursday. Check your local Irish pub to see if they have something going on as well.
