St. Patrick’s Day is coming soon (March 17), and although you probably won’t find any local festivities rivaling Savannah or Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day events, we do have activities to celebrate the Irish and get into the St. Patty’s Day spirit.
Irish Pubs in Lakeland
For 2023, there aren’t a lot of organized events for St. Patrick’s Day, but you can still find some Irish luck on your own. Find an Irish Pub near you for corned beef, cabbage, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and other Irish favorites.
1916 Irish Pub – This Irish Pub has a fantastic outdoor patio, live music, and a large menu. Located at the Cleveland Heights Golf Club (and also in Plant City).
Molly McHugh’s Irish Pub – Located in Downtown Lakeland, this well-known local pub has a special menu just for St. Patrick’s Day.
Swan Brewing – Although it’s not an Irish Pub, Swan Brewing usually has green beer, Guinness, and live music lined up the week of St. Patty’s Day. Family-friendly with outdoor seating.
Yard on Mass – This is a great family-friendly option for live music, food trucks, drinks, and outdoor dining on St. Patrick’s Day.
Brass Tap – The Brass Tap at Lakeside Village has a huge St. Patrick’s Day street party each year that includes live music, specials on Irish Whiskey, Irish Car Bombs, Guinness, Fireball, and Green Beer.
