Ok, so the day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here…St Patrick’s Day is upon us. Now, pretty much every restaurant and bar in the Lehigh Valley is doing something to celebrate SPD so the question is: where can you make the most of your night? Bethlehem’s Southside bars would probably be a good choice for anyone looking for a big crowd. Tally Ho, MacGrady’s, and Starter’s will all be packed, but since we went there on Friday night, let’s do something different tonight.

The Braveheart Highland Pub in Hellertown is a Scottish establishment, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get in on all the hot Irish action tonight. Opening at 4:30 today, a live DJ will be playing authentic Irish music to go along with $2 green colored domestic beers and $5 Irish car bombs. If you’re tired of smoky college bars and want to try something different, this is the place for you.

The Allentown Brewworks on Hamilton St. in Downtown Allentown will be featuring Irish Step Dancing throughout the evening as well as DJ Synystr from 8-12 tonight and$2 Green PigPen Pilsners. In my personal experience, the crowd has always been a bit thin at the Allentown Brewworks but they have great beer, the location is really cool, and it’s SPD…every bar is going to have a good crowd tonight.

Tueday nights at PJ Whelihan’s in West Allentown always draws a big crowd. Their fantastic wings are half-price and have been described by some as “meat candy”. $3 drafts of Guinness, Harp Lager, and Smithwicks Ale and karaoke starting at 9PM only help sweeten the deal. For St Patrick’s day, you can expect all of the above plus giveaways and Irish food.

Anyone know of anything else fun that’s going on tonight? It’s going to be a tough decision, but I’m most likely going to end up at either the Brewworks or Braveheart tonight. Regardless of where you go tonight, keep in mind, this day only comes once a year…so enjoy it!
