This Sunday will be hectic for Houstonians. Not only is it the last day of both Spring Break and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, but March 17 is, of course, St. Patrick's Day.
As we all know from The Boondock Saints, everyone's Irish on Saint Paddy's. Celebrating the holiday isn't mandatory, but it is encouraged.
While this publication would never tell anyone how to spend their time — although we do offer suggestions on a weekly basis — it's easy to think of worse ways then heading to NRG Park for one last turkey leg at the rodeo carnival followed by visiting any of the restaurants and bars listed below for a little Irish cheer.
Not saying. Just saying.
B.B. Lemon will be inviting Houstonians to eat, drink, and be Irish for an all-day, St. Patrick’s Day soiree. Guests will enjoy Irish dancers, bagpipers, green beer, and whiskey specials. They’ll also be launching new menu items. 11 am.
