St. Patrick's Day
Any recommendations for places to go in downtown Halifax for St. Patrick's? Food as well as GOOD beer are must haves

Good question. I'll be coming off nightshift, but I like getting out for St. Patrick's Day.

Re: St. Patrick's Day
Isn't that illegal?
I suppose I could do green pepper/tomato based with lots of basil.....
edit: ...with green peppercorns. It's my idea now!!!!
edit: ...tomatillos. Calling the patent office now.

Barely. I was suprised the lineups at the bars last night were not so bad, guess the early risers couldn't make it the whole day.

Too much good food and just enough to drink to make it interesting.

Re: St. Patrick's Day
A few of us were at RB in the afternoon. Had the firkin and a burger, and had my eardrums blown out by the 5 members of the Rick Sanchez TRIO (or whatever that guy's name was).
JT was almost tackled by some drunk chick falling down in the middle of the crosswalk. Clearly she had been at it since early in the morning.

Re: St. Patrick's Day
I found the music a little loud. Having the music is nice and all, but I'm thinking the majority of the crowd at RB is going for a social environment, not to sit there with the music blasting while you try to talk.chalmers wrote:A few of us were at RB in the afternoon.

The house party I went to frigging rocked. Food wise anyway. I rocked the beer scene with some Stone Ruination and other bigass ipas.

Re: St. Patrick's Day
I fared pretty good... I picked up a couple of those Guinness packs the NSLC was pushing. Got to have some boiled dinner. Home relatively early but late to bed.
