Cincinnati, OH
Saint Paddys Pub Crawls
Few American cities celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with as much enthusiasm as Cincinnati. The annual pub crawl draws the green-clad faithful from across the city to a curated route of bars and pubs that deliver everything the holiday promises: community, Irish warmth, and excellent drinks.
Cincinnati has the bar community, the holiday spirit, and the green enthusiasm to make St. Patrick’s Day weekend one of the city’s best nights of the year. The pub crawl is the vehicle that channels all of that into a single organized, guided, thoroughly enjoyable March celebration.
There is something about St. Patrick’s Day that brings out the best in bar communities and Cincinnati is no exception. The city’s pubs, bars, and cocktail lounges go all-in on the holiday and the pub crawl route is built to showcase the best of that collective Irish spirit.
When Cincinnati celebrates St. Patrick’s Day, it does so with the full force of the city’s bar community behind it. The pub crawl distills the best of that celebration — the right bars, the right specials, the right atmosphere — into a single curated evening that captures everything March 17 should be.
