5 Ways To Celebrate St. Patrick’s in Tyler, TX

It’s almost time to pull out your best green-themed outfit, grab some friends, and attend fun events around St. Patrick’s Day. This year, the holiday is on Friday, March 17, which means you can take the weekend to celebrate at various places. Many events have delicious Irish cuisines, festive live performances, enjoyable activities, and Irish-inspired beverages. Our team at Classic Toyota wants to help you celebrate the holiday, so we compiled a list of five ways to celebrate St. Paddy’s in Tyler, Texas.

Go to the Local Irish Pub, ETX Brewing Company

Since 2016, the family-owned pub ETX Brewing Company has been operating and serving its local community. The pub continues its annual St. Patrick’s Day tradition with live music. This year’s exciting musical feature is the band The Haggerty’s, a local alternative rock band. Bring your loved ones for a good meal, great drinks, and even greater time spent together celebrating the holiday with fun live music.

While you’re listening to the great live music, consider ordering some of these mouth-watering meals:

• Nashville hot sandwich.
• Mac ‘n’ cheese fries.
• Patty melt burger.
• Beer brined wings.

Then, pair your meal with a delicious beer from the core menu, such as:

• Park Ranger, which has orange and tangerine flavors and dry hops.
• 1846 IPA, an American-style beverage with bottom-range bitterness, dry hops, and bold, fruity El Dorado hops.
• Brickstreet Blonde, a crisp American blonde ale with light hops and mild maltiness.
• ETX Premium Lager has a dry finish and a light body crisp with a slight aroma of white grapes.

The brewing company doesn’t require reservations or tickets. A spot inside the pub is on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Date and time: Saturday, March 18, from 8 to 10 p.m.
• Address: 221 S. Broadway Ave., Tyler.

For your three samples, you can select from over 60 loose-leaf teas in the herb shop’s collection. You and your friends can experience the tea in a relaxing atmosphere, where you can sit among cozy couches or pretty patio seating.
