St. Patrick’s Day is approaching, a day when those who are Irish celebrate the patron saint of Ireland and those who aren’t technically Irish express their appreciation for all things Irish. Green is worn, green beer is had (for those 21+, of course) and sometimes you get pinched (though maybe not this year). If you're looking for a place to celebrate, you're in luck! Houston has something Irish themed to suit every taste.

The festivities would spill into the numerous pubs in Market Square, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie.
