This Saturday March 13th let the fun begin and celebrate the Irish in all of us; I mean, who doesn’t like green beer? The contenders all meet at the Southernmost Beach Café, at the South end of Duval Street and work their way down Duval stopping at 8 other bars and ending on the Gulf Side at the Schooner Wharf Bar. Gathering of the Irish begins between 11:00-12:00 and first beers are served at noon. Go a little earlier and have a delicious breakfast on the beach at the Southernmost Beach Café and prepare yourself for the stroll. You can purchase tickets and T-shirts, shorts and the like, this week at any of the participating bars, Tickets are $30. Some words of wisdom to all who dare take on the Bar Stroll challenge: don’t do all your drinking at the start of the parade, or you will never make it to the end! And one other word of advice; make sure to dress up, go all out, you’ll be glad you did! Oh….and one other word, this is the bad news…that Sunday morning, March 14, the clocks Spring Forward, which means you will loose an hour of sleep. Set your clocks forward before you start your stroll! For more information on the St. Patrick’s Day Bar Stroll visit www.stpatricksdaybarstroll.com.
Don’t forget the last Home and Garden Tour of the season, is this weekend, March 12-13. The tour features architecturally unique Key West homes and shows off their interior design as well as the gardens. www.oirf.org.
Our featured restaurant this week is Finnegan’s Wake, Irish Pub and Eatery. Not only does Finnegan’s have a selection of fabulous beers, to make any Irishman happy, they also have fantastic ‘pub food’. Nothing like a tall pint of Guinness and a plate of their Sheppard’s pie; great ambiance, great music and Daily Happy Hour from 4-7pm and 12-2am. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
