http://www.indy.com/posts/5898 en-us Christina3321 Thanks for all the great ideas. I work downtown, so these are great! We plan on hitting up Rathskeller. Everyone have a very green St. Patrick's Day!

It's been a long time since I've heard live Irish music, and I can't wait. Now, I just need to plan the rest of the weekend. For that matter, I've taken all of next week off from work for purposes of extended drunkenness. I think we should try to make every day St. Patrick's Day.

The only truly authentic Irish pub & restaurant. Doors open at 11am and a $10 cover charge starts at 1pm. There are three different Irish bands scheduled to play. They have extra seating available in a heated tent attached to the building. We've gone here the last two years for St Pat's Day and we've had a blast. Not to mention excellent Irish grub & beverages.

Plainfield, Downtown, and 96th Street are alternating who has what when, so plan ahead. I was at 96th Street last year; good party, tons of people, long lines for the bathroom. They advertise traditional Irish food, but I'd recommend this only if you're eating at your grandma's dinner time - good food service is virtually impossible after 7pm.

The music starts at noon, the Gordon Pipers show up at 5 p.m., there's great food and no cover.
