Speaking of heart, get down to the Oakland's City Center in the heart of Downtown Oakland between 12 noon and 1 PM for a special performance by Driving with Fergus. And it's certain Max's City Center will have some special St. Patrick's Day menu (and if they don't, they've really fallen off the way!), so check them out.
Also visit Crogan's Montclair in the Oakland Hills for a great time. It's at the corner of Mountain and LaSalle in the Montclair District. Crogan's has a great kitchen and a good version of Corned Beef and Cabbage!
In the evening, The Alley, at 3325 Grand Avenue, is all done up for St. Patrick's Day. While they don't have a special menu, there are a lot of four leaf clovers around as decoration.
There's also the "St. Patrick’s Day Rockridge Walk n’ Drink Oakland," where you are asked to "Meet at McNally’s at 6pm. Walk up Manilla Ave to stairways around Margarido Dr. Return to McNally’s around 7pm. Drink."
They don't tell you where McNally's Irish Pub is, so I'll help: it's at 5352 College Avenue.
With that, Happy St. Patty's Day, follow Zennie62 on Twitter, and watch for tweets of photos!
