Saint Paddys Pub Crawls
Ann Arbor’s St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl brings the Luck of the Irish to the finest pubs and bars in Ann Arbor for a March celebration rooted in Irish tradition and genuine community spirit. When the shamrocks come out in Ann Arbor, the city’s bar culture puts on a show that blends authentic Irish pub warmth with the local character that makes every Ann Arbor March 17 celebration distinctly its own.
The Luck of the Irish runs strong in Ann Arbor every March and the St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl is how the city celebrates. From the first green beer to the last Irish toast, Ann Arbor’s pub crawl is a rolling celebration of everything that makes St. Patrick’s Day America’s most beloved drinking holiday.
The Irish diaspora helped build America’s bar culture city by city, neighborhood by neighborhood, pub by pub. Ann Arbor’s St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl honors that legacy by bringing the city’s bar community together for one green-draped, shamrock-filled, Guinness-fueled March celebration.
Green is the color of Ann Arbor on St. Patrick’s Day weekend and the pub crawl is the event that ties it all together. From the welcome drink at check-in to the last bar on the route, our Ann Arbor St. Paddy’s crawl delivers the full Irish pub experience from a city that knows how to celebrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Ann Arbor St. Patrick's Day Bar Crawl?
Saturday, March 13, 2027, from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. That is the Saturday before the holiday itself, which falls on a Wednesday in 2027. Everything runs on one ticket rather than a door charge at each stop.
Why does the Ann Arbor crawl start at 1 PM?
Because St. Patrick's crawls run as daytime events. A one o'clock start and an eight o'clock finish is the standard shape for this holiday and it suits a long March Saturday.
Which part of Ann Arbor does the route use on St. Patrick's?
The Main Street blocks and the South University area are the realistic candidates. Your confirmed check-in venue and participating lineup arrive with the ticket confirmation. Your confirmed check-in venue arrives with the ticket confirmation.
Is the University of Michigan on spring break?
Quite possibly. Michigan's break usually lands in late February or early March, so check the academic calendar, because it changes the size of the crowd considerably. It changes the age of the room considerably.
How cold is Ann Arbor in mid March?
Still cold, usually in the 30s and 40s during the afternoon with snow entirely possible. A one o'clock start helps, since the temperature drops sharply after the sun goes.
Is Main Street Ann Arbor walkable that day?
Yes. The participating bars sit close together along a few blocks, which is what makes a seven-hour daytime window comfortable to work through on foot. The short distances are what make the whole route work.
Does the 8 PM finish end the day?
The scheduled route does, but Ann Arbor's official after-party access comes with the wristband, so the evening carries on at the designated venue while the town is still out.
Should I arrange a ride home in Ann Arbor on St. Patrick's?
Yes, even for an early finish. Rideshare demand across Washtenaw County peaks on this Saturday and the trip out to the townships is a real drive. Agree the pickup point before you start.
