The 5 Best Places To Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day In LA

Whether you want to get your party on this weekend or just want to enjoy a themed cocktail, here’s the five best spots to celebrates St. Patrick’s Day in Los Angeles.

Beauty & Essex

If you’re craving a glam way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day without all the revelry, head to Hollywood hotspot Beauty & Essex to sip one (or both!) of their special green cocktails. The Green With Envy shakes together cucumber-infused vodka, lemon juice, and Germain Elderflower liqueur, and is finished with a celery salt rim and a jalapeno garnish. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s Emerald Gimlet features Elyx Vodka, lime juice, and basil nectar all served over ice and adorned with a lime chip.

TAO Asian Bistro

On March 17th, LA’s stylish crowd will likely be celebrating the Irish holiday at TAO Asian Bistro. The special drink of the day will be the refreshing Cucumber Sparkler, which stirs together cucumber vodka, Cointreau, Campo Viejo Cava, and ripe agave mojito and comes served in a glass with cucumber slices.

Baldoria

If you’re looking for a more casual shamrock-themed celebration, look no further than Little Tokyo restaurant Baldoria. In addition to the full menu, which includes a variety of shared plates, expect a special corned beef hash pizza and plenty of shots of Bushmills Irish Whiskey.

Rock & Reilly’s

Rock & Reilly’s is back again with its epic 7th annual St. Paddy’s block party complete with music, leprechauns, stilt walkers, food trucks, photo booths, games, and 100 kegs of green beer. All proceeds from the party will benefit Merging Vets and Players, an LA-based charity that brings together former combat veterans with former professional athletes so they can help each other navigate the transition. It’s all happening from 1-10pm. Visit blockparty7.eventbrite.com to purchase tickets.
