There will be scores of options that day - our bar database alone lists some 35 Irish pubs in the area.

Baltimore.org has a nice compilation of events, descriptions, and links above. It's what I'm using to map out my St Patty's day festivities.

St. Patty's + NCAA Tourney = major crowds. Should be a good day for bar owners.

Rumor has it that the Canton bars who have tents outside won't have them through the weekend because they're only allowed to have their permit for two days... so Thursday and Friday.
I'm hoping the festivities continue through the weekend, tents or not!

And even though it's not an Irish pub, I'm a big fan of Muggsy's for St. Patty's day.

Blarney Stone in Fells. No green beer crap but plenty of Guinness, Jameson, and real poitin. Put some Pogues on the jukebox and avoid the fratboy bar crawls.
