Where to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Martinez

Here are five suggestions on where to get your Irish on.

St. Patrick's Day is a day of celebrating, though what exactly is being celebrated depends on whom you ask. For most of us, St. Patrick's Day is a day to don green or get pinched, to endure food and drink that is dyed green, to consume boiled meats and vegetable dishes, and to spend the day listening to bad imitations of the leprechaun from the Lucky Charm commercials. Everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's Day and there are special celebrations being held around town to help you feel more begorrah.
