After nine decades, the plaid-clad waiters here have got their traditional celebration right. Although this is really a Scottish pub, St. Patrick himself wouldn’t know it as anything but Irish on March 17. There's live music, bag pipes and an Irish menu featuring corned beef and cabbage all day long. Wash it all down with a pint of the green good stuff.
The oldest Irish Bar in the City of Angeles, Tom Bergin’s mid-city oasis is a must-stop to raise a glass of green lager on St. Patrick’s Day. Sure, there’ll be plenty of corned beef and cabbage, but there’s also deviled eggs, pretzels and fried pickle chips. Famous for it’s Irish Coffee, Bergin’s caffeinated brew might be just the thing to top off a few of those green drinks.
Those who live downtown, or head into work early can enjoy a green gulp starting at 6am. This classic spot plans to have live Irish music, corned beef and cabbage, and a full slate of Irish whiskey. Faith and begorra, this DTLA landmark features wood booths and a tin ceilings, too.
In addition to green beer on St. Patrick's Day, District Pub offers a solid list of craft beers on tap with a hearty food menu, including Irish Bangers and burgers from Creekstone Angus beef.

And speaking of “green,” there’s an alligator sausage also on the menu for more adventurous diners.
Just a few blocks from Tom Bergin’s is Molly Malone’s. Another classic mid-Wilshire bar, there’s draft beer and Irish eats a-plenty. With live music a signature offering at this popular Fairfax spot, there will be plenty of choruses of “Danny Boy” sung in this clubby spot on St. Patrick’s day.
Homey, with a wide array of pub food and draft beers, this is a comfortable spot to relax with a cold green one. O'Brien's opens at 8am for the St. Patrick’s Day crowd. With comfortable leather booths, early risers and imbibers can settle in for the day.
The perfect spot for a true Emerald Isle experience, the entire bar at this venue was brought to Santa Monica from Ireland. Green beer drinkers won’t have to go hungry here: Chef Geraldine Gilliland was named Irish Woman of the Year 2015, and serves up a mean Shepherd’s Pie, a full Irish breakfast, and, of course, corned beef and cabbage. Gilliland is known for her boxty, too—a traditional potato pancake stuffed with veggies or meat.
With sixteen rotating craft beers on tap, the only question is, which beers will be green? Irish brews like Guinness, Smithwicks and Harp are most definitely the suds of choice for the holiday. This pub is also renowned for its corned beef and hash.
