There comes a few weeks before the Spring officially arrives when it feels like Atlanta literally turns green. St. Patty’s Day festivities are near and far at every hotspot before the annual holiday on March 17th. If you want it, there should be no issue finding green beer, Guinness, shamrocks and all your lucky charms galore. After all, everybody is (or at least pretends to be) Irish on St. Patty’s!
Spiral’s version for years has been one of my favorite renditions of the St. Patty’s parties. This year’s at Park Tavern was by far one of the best celebrations - imagine a sea of green in the early Spring Atlanta weather amongst over 4,000 of your closest friends, overlooking the city skyline. Can you imagine anything better? Plus, live music was running as freely as the beer, with multiple bars around the premise to get your fix.
My other favorite activity was the people-watching and I must say, the crowd gained points for creative costumes this year. From died red hair to themed t-shirts with clever sayings to one courageous soul dressed in all red (quite entertaining amongst the green), the attire was first rate for good times.
Here’s a fun idea for next year: our friends are big brunchers, so my lovely roommate and I decided to host a “green” themed potluck/pre-game prior to the event. Of course, only for those who can handle that much green in their day.
All in all, great to see everyone who was out and about for this much celebrated holiday at Park Tavern - to next year and beyond for successful St. Patty’s day festivities in Atlanta!
