HEY GUESS WHAT? It’s the day after St. Patrick’s Day… and we still have Guinness on tap. And we still pour it perfect… every fu***ng time.

You want it early? No dice, mo********er.

Happy St. Pat’s! 🇮🇪 We’ve got good craic on tap tonight (and every night) with Guinness & half-and-halves with Harp Lager, plus Jameson jello shots and a lime daiquiri situation with gold glitter. If you’re DD’ing for a jailbreak tonight, our N/A Guinness has garnered the seal of approval from our sober (and severely Irish) Social Media Gremlin.

FOOD SPECIAL: DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR BOYS ARE? Summon them back in town with the Philly Lynott—Guinness bbq beef smothered in smoked provolone and pepperjack.

Our house playlist for the evening features all the Irish greats past and present, so grab a proper pint (we pour ‘em right, it’s worth the wait) and say sláinte. Up the Irish! 🍻

✨🍀 DO NOT PINCH PEOPLE WITHOUT CONSENT WE WILL KICK YOUR GREEN ASS RIGHT OUT THE DOOR 🍀✨ XOXO THE RACKET
