Every several years St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Saturday, as it is does in 2012, and there is little doubt that toasts will be flippin’ and pints tippin’ around Redmond on March 17.
The town's two most obvious suspects— and —will be good bets to celebrate over food and drink. J.J. Mahoney's will be opening at 9 a.m. and serving traditional Irish favorites, while Celtic Bayou will be offering live music from the Emerald Isle beginning at 7 p.m.
Plenty of other bars and restaurants will surely be getting in on the action as well, with pouring green beer, the up on Redmond Ridge offering a special Irish menu, and the opening early for Irish breakfast and serving up corned beef starting at 4 p.m.
So Patch wants to know: What is the best spot in Redmond to celebrate that one day each year when there’s a wee bit ’of the Irish in us all?
