History.com reports this as the official history of St. Patrick’s Day: “St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17, the saint’s religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the 461 A.D. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years.

On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent,Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. Yes Irish bacon… In the mid-to-late 19th century, Irish immigrants to the United States began substituting corned beef for bacon when making the dish, hence creating corned beef and cabbage.


In Lake Arrowhead, California, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a similar manner with Happy Hour pricing all day and daily specials  for McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal, our tasty Reuben Sandwich or Corned Beef  & Cabbage (while it lasts). Also try our Mint Soda, Peppermint Patty or an Irish Cream and Coffee drink. Come on in and try the Limited Release “Scarlett Red Rye Ale” from Speakeasy Brewery or as always, we carry Hangar 24 brews including their special California SpringBeer. We also stock plenty of varieties of IPAs, and Leffe, along with StellaArtois and ShockTop…to name a few. Also, if you prefer wine, mixed drinks or hot toddies, we have several options available.
