Down and Out in Denver

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! If you missed the Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, never fear… here are three options around town to get your green on. Just promise Alastair you will stay away from those disconcerting “green” doughnuts at King Soopers. Have fun, and be safe!   

Katie Mullens, 1550 Court St.  Remember the former Supreme Court bar… located in downtown’s Adam’s Mark Hotel? I know, tough times… Well, the “100% Irish owned and operated” Katie Mullens replaced the sad state of affairs and while it’s a little overwhelming at over 11,500 sq feet, it’s conveniently located on the 16th Street Mall.   

Fado, 1735 19th St.  Fado has been celebrating St. Pat’s Day all weekend long at its LoDo location and bright n’ early this morning at 8:00 a.m. I needed my “coffee” on the way to the office… just saying.  

Irish Snug, 1201 E. Colfax Ave.  The Irish Snug holds its fifth annual “hooley” to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. An outdoor tent has been set up on the premises for the three days. The Snug is the one place I hear most consistently mentioned when it comes to Irish pubs in Denver. With a shout out from the  ladies over at The Denver Omelette, who can resist.
