S t. Patrick’s Day is upon us, and thankfully for University of Colorado students, this year the Irish-themed holiday falls on a Saturday.
Conor O’Neill’s Traditional Irish Pub, 1922 13th St., is throwing down in a major way (check out the coverage in Friday’s Colorado Daily), but since you have a full day to recover, why not check out everything Boulder has to offer?
Walrus Saloon
1 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday, 1911 11th St., 303-443-9902
With $1 Odell’s Red drafts and gelatin shots and $4 full-size car bombs, the Walrus has a feeling Boulder is about to see its biggest night ever.
The Lazy Dog Sports Bar & Grill
10 p.m. Saturday to 1:30 a.m. Sunday, 1346 Pearl St., 303-440-3355

The Underdog
4 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday, 1346 Pearl St.
Head underground for the first ever St. Patrick’s Day party at the Underdog. Come for the drink specials, and stay for the chance to win tickets to Technicolor Tone Factory’s performance at the Boulder Theater. The Underdog is located in the basement of The Lazy Dog.
