Lynches goes green for St. Patrick's Day

There might not have been a pot of gold at Lynches Pub & Grub's annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration, but there was plenty of green beer.

From Wisconsin to South Carolina, plenty of visitors traveled to the pub on St. Armands Circle for the annual bash. Aside from the green beer, St. Patrick’s Day enthusiasts enjoyed corned beef and cabbage, live music and performances by bagpipers and Irish dancers. Performers took the stage on top of a replica pirate ship that sat across the street from Lynches.

The festivities continue until midnight on March 17 and resume at 11 a.m. on March 18. Lynches is located at 19 N. Boulevard of the Presidents on St. Armands Circle.
