7 Lucky Libation Specials In Boston To Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

By The Get Up Crew

The big day is almost here! St. Patrick’s Day. We’re in Boston so you know it’s THE place to be for all your celebrations. From bar crawls to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Southie, there’s definitely lots to do. And there’s lots to drink too. Bars and restaurants around Boston have lots of food and drink specials to tempt you to come in. We rounded up some of the best lucky libations on the menu around the city.

Everything to know about the parade

The parade starts at 1pm, starts at the Broadway “T” Station in South Boston and ends at Andrew Square. Here’s the parade route from Meet Boston so you can find out where you want to watch from.

Public transportation is always recommended, and the MBTA usually runs rush hour service for the Red Line from 9am to 6pm. Just be advised that trains may bypass Broadway and/or Andrew Station if the crowds there get too big. Buses won’t stop at either of those stations as well at 9:45am, and several routes will be detoured around the parade area. A free shuttle will run between the Summer Street side of South Station and East 1st Street in South Boston. Go to MBTA.com for additional details. And driving is not recommended because there’s definitely limited parking, and street closures.

    Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at King’s Dining & Entertainment with some of their drink specials. From March 13th – 17th, you can enjoy either a Pot O’ Gold or a Guinness Old Fashioned. Not sure what’s in that Pot O’ Gold, but I’m down for any drink with a special rim. And you can’t beat a classic Old Fashioned.

  • Boston Burger Company's Pot O' Gold

    Had to throw in a non-alcoholic option for the non-drinkers. Boston Burger Company is offering their special frappe during the month of March. And as you can see, this is no ordinary frappe. It’s an Irish cream frappe topped with an Irish cream cake, Lucky Charms, rainbow candy, and gold-covered chocolate candies. So if “over the top” is your thing, this is definitely for you.
