St. Patrick's Day Fun in Oz, 2024

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
Between the Greens has a special limited menu Saturday and Sunday, March 16th and 17th. Come grab a pint and have an incredible Rueben, Shepherds Pie, Irish Dinner, Guinness Pulled Pork, or Beer Cheese Soup!  Kevin Kelly will be performing on Saturday and Sunday throughout the day.
