Where to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

If you aren't going to be in Savannah with me this St. Patrick's Day, then you better find green beer and shamrocks in Atlanta. Here are a few places around town that will be celebrating this Tuesday - Erin Go Bragh!


Kozmo Gastro Pub will feature a classic Irish comfort dish of corned beef hash with braised cabbage and grain mustard potatoes with beer bread. Green beer will be flowing along with the Keltic Kozmo, expertly hand crafted by house mixologist Jimmy Rudnick.




Marlow's Tavern - The Vinings location will offer Irish home-cooking with the likes of Guinness-marinated brats with homemade Irish cheddar Tater Tots at lunch, and shepherd's pie, fish 'n chips, bangers and mash, colcannon and corned beef and cabbage at dinner time. Evening appetizers such as Irish cheddar cheese dip and salmon boxty are terrific with the drink of the day -- Guinness, Guinness and more Guinness. For dessert? More Guinness, as in orange-chocolate Guinness cake. The leprechauns behind the bar will be mixing up plenty of feisty libations, and live entertainment by Under the Porch keeps toes tapping to New Orleans-style jazz and funk from 6:30 p.m. on. 2355 Cumberland Parkway, 770-432-2526.



Marlow's Tavern Duluth taps into green beer for $2 a mug, pints of Guinness for $4 and Irish car bombs for $5. Round out the menu with a plate of corned beef and cabbage! 1950 Satellite Boulevard, 770-622-2033.


Marlow's Tavern Northlake will be celebrating on the rooftop patio. There they will have rollicking Irish drinking songs, Irish snacks, and beer specials of green beer for $3, $4 pints of Guinness and $5 Irish car bombs will keep those Irish eyes a smilin'. 4156 LaVista Road, 678-987-1197.


Whole Foods Market in Sandy Springs will host a Shamrock Scavenger Hunt. Stop by Customer Service for an entry form and then explore the store for the shamrock hidden in each department. Record the location of each one you find on your form, and when you've picked them, turn in your form. The one adult and one child winners will receive a bag filled with Whole Foods Market products. Whole Foods Market Sandy Springs: 5930 Roswell Road; 404-236-0810.
