Happy Easter from Ozaukee Living Local!

One needn't be Irish to celebrate St. Paddy's Day (though we certainly have enough Irish people in the community, so it's likely you know someone if you aren't one of them), and there are plenty of places to satisfy your hankering for a corned beef dinner, rueben sandwich, green beer (I don't actually recommend that), and some great Irish music.  Read on to find the best places in Oz to celebrate the wearin' o' the green!

Saukville
