March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day and includes some very serious lore — although most Americans know St. Patrick’s Day as the day of the year to drink at an Irish Pub. Here are our picks for eats, drinks and a St. Paddy’s Day celebration.
Rosie McCaffrey’s Irish Pub & Restaurant
The local classic, hands down. Rosie’s is the place to go for anything authentically Irish in the Valley. Packed and always a party, it serves classic grub — and every libation known to man is available for consumption.

This Irish pub is been known as a Valley favorite for more than 20 years and has the state’s largest selection of whiskeys and specialty Irish beers. The food is authentic and the vibe is Irish. Lunch is a priority at this downtown location.

Tim Finnegan’s Irish Restaurant & Pub
This is a modern take on the old Irish pubs while still a classic from the word “Aye.” All of the standards are served for lunch and drinks are the order of the day.
