We’ve curated a list of some of the best St. Patrick’s Day festivities going on in the city on Tuesday, March 17 so that you can spend your time hanging out with friends instead of scrambling around at the last-minute looking for something to do.
From whiskey tasting with goats to making your way down Santa Monica Street to hit up every bar, there are plenty of things to do for St. Patty’s in L.A.! Whatever you do, don’t forget to wear green… 🍀
1. St. Patty’s Day Goats and Grog
If you weren’t sold by the simple fact goats will be present… we don’t even know what to say! Ditch the green beers (unless that your thing, of course) and spend St. Patty’s day in a rather unique way at a working hobby ranch just outside of Malibu. Celebrate Irish history with a heard of goofy goats, alongside a few other animals, while sipping on commentary Irish whiskey — when you’re ready to take a break from petting the fur babies, enjoy a small plate happy hour!

2. St. Patty’s Lucky Fest
Kick-off the festivities the weekend prior by stopping by 25 pubs in one day! Yup… you read that right. Lucky Fest is more than just our average bar crawl; compete against other attendees in rounds of Roomba beer pong and professional wrestling as well as partake in a live “game show” called Feeling Lucky!
