So many good times. St. Paddy's day is a blast. But I have to work tomorrow so it'll be a couple pints of green beer and some Guinness and then home for me. 
Sometimes its all about finding the right location to really get to love this day.
Same with Keith's Birthday, you have to be in the right place, or it just doesnt quite work. |
Ya I hear that about the college bars. I haven't lived in C-town since '04, but I went to Mount Royal for a couple of years in '03 and '04 and we hit up the Lib during the afternoon on St. Pattys. It was awesome. There were even people walking around the halls with full mugs of green beer, outstanding! I go to the UofA right now, but I dont have class on Mondays and its a bit of a far bus ride(actually two, I live on the other side of town) so its hard to justify goin all the way down there when none of my buddies from the U are down to drink today anyways, unfortunately. If I had a class today I'd probably just recruit a couple people from there to come down for a pint, those always end up bein s***shows.
I agree with you that you just gotta find a good pub for St. Patty's Day and just stay the course every year. When I was livin in Calgary, that place was the Barley Mill on MacLeod Tr and about Canyon Meadows Dr. That place was my first 3 or 4 years of celebrating St. Pattys, and pretty much the reason why I love it so much now. Then the Bull & Finch bought it out, and it was never the same since.
