10 Pandemic-Friendly St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations in the DMV

Share:

March 16, 2021 @ 3:13pm | Ingrid Harbo

Although the annual bar crawl in every piece of green clothing you own may not be an option this year, in the DMV, we’re lucky enough to still have plenty of ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This year, grab a traditional Irish meal and beer as takeout, try out a festive workout class or learn about Ireland to appreciate the culture behind St. Patrick’s Day.

Through 3.17

Colony Grill St. Patrick’s Day Special
If you like corned beef, why not try it on a pizza? Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a less traditional take on Irish cuisine by ordering a corned beef and cabbage pizza from Colony Grill. This pizza is available for dine-in or carryout through March 17. $13.45 per pizza. Colony Grill: 2800 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA; www.colonygrill.com // @colonygrill

St. Patrick’s Day at Wunder Garten
While the chances of finding an actual pot of gold at the end of the rainbow are slim, treasure can be found at Wunder Garten’s festive cocktail bar. Featuring their shimmery and sweet Leprechaun milkshake and the champagne filled “Shipping Off to Wunder Garten” cocktail, the beer garden’s St. Patrick’s day drinks are as good as gold. Wunder Garten’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities run through March 17. Wunder Garten: 1101 1st St. NE, DC; www.wundergartendc.com // @wundergartendc
