Get out your green clothes, it\u2019s St. Paddy\u2019s Day again. And no, you don\u2019t really have any good reason for not partaking in this celebration because this year it falls on a Friday, buddy. So get your work done and head out to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n St. Patrick’s Day doesn\u2019t really need an explanation but for those who have been living under a rock for ages it is a cultural and religious tradition of celebrating Saint Patrick and Irish culture. And it is a lot of fun. Avoid the parade and head to a bar for a Guinness. Haven\u2019t decided which pub to hit up yet? Don\u2019t worry. We got you covered. Here\u2019s a couple of our favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n 1. \u00a0Thirsty Scholar (155 2nd Ave A, New York, NY 10003)<\/b><\/p>\n We always love to throw in a wildcard, and this is it. You\u2019ll look long and hard for a more relaxed pub than the Thirsty Scholar. It\u2019s low key, it\u2019s quaint, and it\u2019s located in the heart of East Village. Say hello to Pete, one of the bartenders from us, if he’s in!<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Molly\u2019s Shebeen (287 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10010)<\/b><\/p>\n Our infatuation over this place is much due to its looks.<\/span>\u00a0It is as old school as it gets, from its wooden furniture, the sawdust on the floor (yes, you read that right), \u00a0and the pictures hanging on the walls. It\u2019s an Irish dive bar, and we love it.<\/p>\n 3. An Beal Bocht Cafe (45 W 238th St, Bronx, NY 10463)<\/b><\/p>\n Do you work around the Bronx and you\u2019ve convinced yourself that heading to Manhattan for a pint today of all days is not happening? Horrible excuse since the Bronx has Irish pubs to! Head to an Beal Bocht Cafe. It\u2019s the perfect place if you\u2019re not looking for a rager. It even has poetry readings.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Donovan\u2019s Pub (57-24 Roosevelt Ave, Woodside, NY 11377)<\/b><\/p>\n Same goes for those trying to skip out on celebrating St. Patrick\u2019s Day just because they live in Queens. There\u2019s Irish pubs in Queens to. Donovan\u2019s Pub has been around since 1966 and you can get a decent meal here with your pint. Not that hungry? Just go for the Lil’ Shepherd’s Pie as an appetizer then.<\/span><\/p>\n 5. Irish Haven (5721 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11220)<\/b><\/p>\n Billy Costigan:<\/b> Cranberry Juice. <\/span><\/p>\n Man sitting at the bar:<\/b> It’s a natural diuretic. My girlfriend drinks it when she’s got her period. What, do you got your period?<\/span><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know where that\u2019s from, you might want to skip the St. Paddy\u2019s Day celebration and head home to watch The Departed instead. These famous lines are from the famous cranberry juice scene in The Departed, the Scorsese movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, and it was shot at the Irish Haven in Brooklyn. And the pub is as Irish as it gets. If you haven\u2019t been yet, head on over.<\/span><\/p>\n 6. McAleers Pub (425 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024)<\/b><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a low key bar with great food, head on over to McAleers Pub on the Upper West Side. It\u2019s been around since the 1950s, it offers Irish cuisine as well as American if you can\u2019t decide on what you\u2019re craving, and the atmosphere is great. <\/span><\/p>\n 7. McSorley\u2019s Old Ale House (15 E 7th St, New York, NY 10003)<\/b><\/p>\n So you want to go somewhere really, really Irish? What about the oldest Irish pub in New York City then? McSorley\u2019s has been around since 1854 and it\u2019s still running smoothly. If you\u2019re craving some history with your pint, head over to McSorley\u2019s. Don\u2019t wear your nice shoes, they\u2019ll just get covered in sawdust anyway. <\/span><\/p>\n Are you really not looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year? That\u2019s alright, head out for some coffee instead.
