Is this one of the best months or what? Well, Erin go Brach, March is one of the most special times of the year if you are Irish or especially a Murphy. Heck, it is one of the best months no matter what you are as Irish Bars bring people together, from Dublin to Mongolia to Modesto. The people in Mongolia are huge Irish fans and the Jameson is just as good there.
A special shout out to my Irish girls, Rebecca, Madison and Abigail as we have celebrate our Irish heritage around the world.
This year, St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, is on a Tuesday. This is amazing and you can start your Irishday early at P. Wexford’s Pub at 3317 McHenry where they will have corned beef and cabbage, the traditional favorites of Guinness and black and tans with Harp. The McHenry Mansion will also host a St. Patrick’s Day party and most of our favorite watering holes will be serving up the green beer as well. I will be camped out at P. Wexfords on the 17th so stop and say hello.
But the big parties start Friday night the 13th with a party at Crocodiles.
Saturday the 14th is the big day with P. Wexfords hosting their big MAMA Award winning outdoor party that goes on to the wee hours with music indoors and outdoors with Triple D, Tongue and Groove, plus DJ Tease and even bagpipes. Twisted Pig will have a big party called ShamRock featuring Flying Blind and the Blue Line. Sideline’s / Whiskey Jacks will be serving up Tony’s corned beef and cabbage with the 132s and the Dave Souza Band. You can also get your Irish on at the Almost St. Patrick Pub Crawl. Don’t forget to run up to Murphy’s on the 21st for Irish Day.
Plan out your St. Patrick’s celebrations now.

We are getting close to having a tiki bar again in Modesto. The original Tiki Bar will be reimagined by new owners Les Knoll and Gina Rossi. The Modesto Tiki has famous roots going back to the original network of Ken Kimes Polynesian themed hotels and tiki bars across the west.
