For those of us who live at The Rocket, you can’t beat the location of The Yates Street Taphouse! The atmosphere, the food, the folks that work there, the pool tables, and the drink specials certainly don’t hurt either! On St. Patrick’s Day The Taphouse will be featuring $6.50 pints of Guinness and $5 Jameson shots, as well as Chef James’ Irish Favourites menu! There will be live music from Kafoo Zalum. The best part is: no cover!

Irish Times

While The New Groovement may be the new kid on the block, they are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with on the funk music scene.

So get your tickets early, and spend this St. Patrick’s Day at Lucky!
