St Patrick’s Day is set to take place on Monday March 17, and you may be wondering where the best place to celebrate is.
The Irish holiday is widely celebrated, and while the origin of St Patrick’s Day centres on the death date of St Patrick himself, in modern culture most people love to celebrate it with a pint and a jig in an Irish pub.
