The best Irish bars for St. Patrick's Day are expected to be packed as Denver celebrates the holiday on March 17. While the number of Irish bars in the metro area has declined in recent years, these ones remain popular. One study recently named five Colorado Irish pubs among the best in the nation. The Abbey Tavern hosts traditional Irish music on Sundays and all Liverpool games. The Celtic Tavern, which closed in 2016, made a comeback in a larger location on Market Street and offers a vast whiskey collection and food like its signature fish and chips. Clancy's Irish Pub serves over thirty Irish whiskeys and offers options like Irish spring rolls with whiskey mustard sauce, a crock of Irish onion soup made with a Guinness broth, and classic bangers and mash. The Fainting Goat serves Irish-influenced dishes like shepherd’s pie, Reuben sandwiches and Irish nachos.
