St. Patrick's Day in Seattle! This is the once a year occasion when the "Seattle Freeze" is broken and its infamous passive-aggressive nature becomes exclusively aggressive-- all thanks to sweet, sweet alcohol. But before you stumble the streets, brush up on your Seattle Irish pub repertoire.

What’s St.Patrick’s Day if there’s no brawling? And good news, alcohol is known to enhance your coordination, reflexes and depth perception! So throw down some whiskey, wear your meanest mug and get ready for some good old fashion bar fights!

Whisky Bar the

2000 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121

You could very possibly die here. Think Motorhead and bikers. Just don’t make eye contact with anyone. But cool art and the $2 Papst was worth the shiner.

Blarney Stone Pub the

1909 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA 98101

This bar embraces all that is 3rd avenue: crack dealers, subsidized housing/homelessness, and general bad assness. But the potential of getting my ass kicked doesn’t phase me ‘cause they always play the Pogues and Dropkick Murphies, and they’ve got the best happy hour in town!

Not a drinker? Sounds boring… Check out Seattle’s 2009 Irish Week for legitimate cultural activities like Irish folk dancing, and I guess running, ’cause apparently Irish people like to run… (from the cops!).

I don’t think they do green beer or hang shamrock lights, but they definitely have sheperd’s pie and Guinness. How contrived, right?

Or in other words, bars to go to if you wanna get some hot douchy action. I predict lots of Axe wearing going on here.

Irish Emigrant

5260 University Way NE Seattle, wa 98105

Whenever I crave the fresh scent of Doritos and Polo Sport, I count on the Irish Emigrant in University District to hook me up.

Fado Irish Pub

801 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98104

And it’s right next to the Contour, so there is NO excuse to go home alone on St. Patty’s Day.
