It’s time to celebrate the Irish in all of us. This upcoming weekend is Key West’s 32nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Bar Stroll. A St. Paddy’s day parade like no other, the stroll takes you into notorious Key West Bars starting at the Atlantic Ocean and ending at the Gulf of Mexico. The stroll is not for the weak of heart (or stomach), as you will visit 9 bars in total and drink green beer at all of them. The event is on Saturday, March 13th, and begins at the south end of Duval Street at the Southernmost Beach Café. Participants gather between 11-12 noon, beer starts flowing at noon (you may want to fill up with a hearty breakfast before the event, the Southernmost Beach Café serves great breakfast). The tickets for the stroll are $30, and can be purchased this week at any of the participating bars. For more information visit, http://www.stpatricksdaybarstroll.com/. If you want to enjoy the parade but aren’t quite sure you can manage the bar stroll, just go down to Duval Street and watch the very green and often very drunk contenders and cheer them on!
Don’t forget the last Home and Garden Tour of the season, is this weekend, March 12-13. The tour features architecturally unique Key West homes and shows off their interior design as well as the gardens. http://www.oirf.org/.
Our featured restaurant this week is Finnegan’s Wake, Irish Pub and Eatery. Not only does Finnegan’s have a selection of fabulous beers, to make any Irishman happy, they also have fantastic ‘pub food’. Nothing like a tall pint of Guinness and a plate of their Sheppard’s pie; great ambiance, great music and Daily Happy Hour from 4-7pm and 12-2am. Key West has so many wonderful restaurants make sure to talk to your gracious concierge, Geri or Rebecca and they can recommend the best of Key West.
Warm regards from the Mermaid and The Alligator!
