posted by Carol Shih | March 15th, 2013 10:38am | filed under Drinking, Goats!, Holidays, St. Patrick's Day, Things To Do |

So many things to do, so little time. Pick and choose wisely, my friends. This weekend is crazybusy. Drink plenty of water, call a cab, and watch where you’re walking. I once fell into a large crack in the middle of the road and almost died.

Friday

I guess you could start your St. Patty’s Day celebrations early and head over to Park Tavern and Mockingbird Taproom for some early drinking. OR you could save your stomach for Saturday.

Saturday

Raya has a created a huuuuge list of places to party for the Big Green Day. I would listen to her, if I were you.

I’ve also compiled a list of places to eat. Welcome to a weekend full of green food dye. G’luck.

Did I mention there are still tickets left to Savor Dallas? Well, there are still tickets left to Savor Dallas! I can’t believe the International Grand Tasting isn’t sold out yet; that event is the bombdiggity. You walk around and eat food from some of the best restaurants in town.

Sunday

Nurse your hangover. Or drink some more.

Despite what other news outlets have reported—or what the city renames the parade—the Dallas St. Patrick’s Parade on Greenville Avenue will continue to be a party this year. I mean, Snoop Dogg, er, Snoop Lion, or whatever, is headlining the concert. So pull those glittery clover headbands out of storage; you’ll still be needing them. Enjoy this list of our favorite bars hosting Irish festivities and if it isn’t enough, visit our calendar to see all the St. Patrick’s Day events you can handle.

You’ll need food to get you through St. Patrick’s Day as you celebrate with one too many beers. Preferably something that fills you up and costs very little dinero.

Don’t worry, guys, I got you. I have created a handy dandy chart (made with my beautiful Microsoft Word skills) to locate the nearest restaurant with food and drink specials. Figure out where you’re eating now before you become a complete slosh bucket on Sunday.

Jump if you want the goods. Cheers.

Somebody Help This Poor Guy: Best Corned Beef and Cabbage in Dallas

Don't overlook this.

Don’t overlook this.

Are you ready to lift the sanctions on eating and drinking and celebrate Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, this weekend? I’m glad you are because this lost guy has a big question and not much time. Dressed head to toe in green he writes:

Can you or your readers supply me with some recommendations for where they feel the best corned beef and cabbage can be found this weekend? Obviously, this is a bit time sensitive.

Rohst Korean Marinade is Changing Name and Menu: Rohst Greenville Bar & Grill

posted by Nancy Nichols | March 20th, 2012 1:06pm | filed under Booze News, restaurant business news, St. Patrick's Day | 2 Comments »

Earlier this morning I chatted with Danny Ham, owner of Rohst Korean Marinade on Greenville Avenue. I noticed a new sign over the door and called to ask about the changes he planned. “We are keeping our best-selling Korean dishes,” Ham said. “But we are adding more neighborhood-friendly American dishes like steaks, shrimp, and scallops to the menu.” The new menu is still under development. With the new name change comes the re-lighting of the old Greenville Avenue Bar & Grill sign.

Speaking of green, Mr. Ham also said there was a rumor “on the street” that Rohst had set the record for sales on St. Patrick’s Day by topping $100,00 for the day. “That is just a rumor,” he said. “I know because I count the money.” The comment made me curious. What percentage of cash liquor sales are rung up? I mean a restaurant doing $100K a day? Anyone have an guesstimate or a thought on SPD business?

First, a few St. Patrick’s Day fun facts:

St. Patrick wasn’t Irish.
Almost 37 million Americans claim Irish ancestry. (The rest just pretend on March 17.)
Nearly 13 million pints of Guinness are consumed on St. Patrick’s Day.
There are four towns in the United States named “Shamrock.” Texas has one of them.
My sister used to eat all the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms box growing up.
Leprechauns exist.

Now, without further ado, we present a guide to boozing on the mean green holiday, organized by our favorite ‘hoods. We know we’ve left off some great bars that will be hosting great times (great time = green Irish beer, Celtic jams, and corned beef and cabbage), but this is just a little taste from a few different DFW territories.
