Hennessey\u2019s: Do St. Patty\u2019s Day right<\/b> If you\u2019re Irish like me, you start making your St. Patrick\u2019s Day plans a month in advance \u2014 at the very least. Who doesn\u2019t love a holiday centered on drinking excessively? We\u2019re American, after all. It\u2019s what we live for. I love everything about St. Patty\u2019s Day: green beer, Irish music, “car bomb” drink shots \u2014 and I especially love Guinness. I love that my grandma forced me to wear orange because that was her clan\u2019s colors (try explaining that to pinching fingers all day long). All of us can embrace the fun that is St. Patrick\u2019s Day \u2014 Irish or not. If you\u2019re still trying to figure out your St. Patty\u2019s Day plans, let me help. Sure, there are plenty of bars in Pacific Beach you can hit. And sure, they will all be having specials. Trust me, though, it\u2019s just plain wrong to not be in an Irish bar on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. There is something about eating corned beef hash and drinking a black and tan that makes the world seem right for a moment. Not to mention that the Irish really know how to bring in the holiday, and their passion is infectious. I recommend hitting Hennessey\u2019s Tavern this year. You\u2019ve probably been to Hennessey\u2019s too many times to count or remember, and there is good reason for that. It\u2019s a rocking bar. This St. Patty\u2019s Day they are kicking it up a notch with sweet drink specials all day and bringing in a bagpipe band. Hennessey\u2019s is also serving up its whole menu, including Reuben sandwiches, fish and chips and the ever-popular corned beef and cabbage. That sounds to me like the perfect way to spend the best holiday of the year. Kevin Haagenson, general manager at Hennessey\u2019s, couldn\u2019t agree more. “We\u2019re the oldest Irish bar in PB. We\u2019ve been here for 25 years,” he said. “Celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day the right way.” Make sure this St. Patty\u2019s Day you have a beer (preferably green), listen to some U2 and drink one to our Irish brothers \u2026 and then our Irish sisters \u2026 and then our \u2026 well, you get the idea. If you\u2019re looking for me, I\u2019ll be the one wearing orange and singing “O Danny Boy” until my throat hurts or my husband drags me home \u2014 whichever comes first.
