With St. Patrick’s Day just over a week away, bars and restaurants all around the country are gearing up for the festive celebration of all things Irish. A nod to of the life of Saint Patrick, the most well-known patron saint of Ireland, since the early 17th century every March 17th has been observed as St. Patrick’s Day.
The village of Slane in County Meath, Ireland holds a unique place in the history of St. Patrick’s Day. In 433 AD, Patrick climbed the Hill of Slane and lit the fire before the High King. This act of defiance is the reason on March 17th we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Raise a glass of Slane Irish Whiskey and toast to Patrick’s defiance.
Here are some of the top spots to enjoy Slane Irish Whiskey all around the country when Irish eyes are smiling on March 17th. Sláinte!
Rí Rá Irish Pub, Atlanta
Rí Rá Irish Pub brings a piece of Ireland to Midtown Atlanta – literally. With a bar made from salvaged parts of old Irish pubs and taverns, along with Celtic artifacts and a parquet floor imported right from the Harland & Wolfe yard (where the Titanic was built), Rí Rá is the real deal. Come for the live music and pub grub, stay for the Slane Irish Whiskey.
