Happy St. Patrick’s Day Vancouver! Today everyone is Irish, and of course there are countless deals on Guinness and Jameson at almost every pub and bar in town. With the green beer ready to flood the streets, here are some of our favourite Vancouver Irish Pubs to celebrate —
216 Carrall Street, Gastown
Vancouver’s longest running Irish Pub kicks off the list. Our good friends over at the Blarney Stone are already in a full-on Irish jig, hosting St.Paddy’s Day celebrations all week long. Although this is usually a super packed place to be on the 17th, this legendary establishment is good for a pint or two any day of the week!
