Thursday is St. Patrick’s Day, and there are nearly 50 events happening to mark the occasion. You can see all of your options on our St. Patrick’s Day calendar—including the highly anticipated Irish Wake for Lost Seattle Places, the delicious-sounding Feast of St. Patrick at BottleNeck Lounge and Two Doors Down, and the Thunderpussy St. Patrick’s Day party—but, if you’re looking for a good Irish “craic,” with live Celtic music, Guinness, and Irish dancing, these 8 events at Irish pubs should do the trick.
BALLARD

Ballard’s Irish pub celebrates St. Patrick’s Day by opening at noon and hosting live music from 1 pm until “the wee hours” of Friday morning. The diverse lineup features traditional Irish music from A Ting a Beauty and Crumac, the Celtic surf music of The Irish Experience, the Newfoundland maritime folk of Piper Stock Hill, The Pickpocket Revue’s alt-folk, and the Celtic hillbilly punk of The Wages of Sin.
