Bar Hop for St. Patrick's Day on Grand Street

Grand Street has hosted a St. Patrick’s Day neighborhood pub crawl annually for 9 years

Last year’s pub crawl at Redd’s Tavern.

Let’s face it, St. Patrick’s Day in Manhattan is cramped, overpriced, and full of strangers. So, 9 years ago on Grand Street we decided to offer the opposite—the Brooklyn alternative. Join us in the evening on March 17th at 14 of our bars, taverns, and pubs from 5-10pm for unique drink specials from $4 cocktails to free food and cheap whiskey + beer combos.

The lineup this year includes our neighborhood loyal dives Bushwick Country Club + the Second Chance Saloon and newcomers like Landline + Carneval all taking part. The one thing to be certain is that there will be a gem of a special at each spot on your hop.

The highlights, beverage wise—which is what really counts—include Redd’s Tavern with $4 cocktails + $3 shots and the special frozen Irish coffee from Lady Jay’s ($8). Noorman’s Kil which is famous as one of NYC’s best whiskey bars is an ideal location and has a Narragansett & Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt combo ($8) for the night.

As far as eats—Noorman’s Kil and their $2 Tuesday grilled cheeses should be a priority visit, as should Bushwick Country Club for pickle back shots and free hot dogs, and Carneval for empanadas ($5). The Big Whiskey is also serving Irish kitchen specialties for the occasion like a corned beef sandwich ($10) and Reuben ($12).

While this is the 9th year of a St. Patrick’s Day event on Grand Street, the BID will be out on the street + in the bars to keep things fresh. We’ll be handing out party favors at each location while traveling with our special guest Haireola Grande (@haireolagrande) bringing the party spirit of the holiday to you.

Landline opens with games, trivia + happy hours

The bar at 790 Grand Street is your newest spot to hang out or compete with your friends

The eastern end of Grand Street near Bushwick Avenue has a new bar joining the neighborhood. Landline opened last week looking to fill in a gap as a place to relax and hang out in a part of the district where only a handful of bars currently live.

The 4th iteration of a popular Brooklyn bar family, Landline comes from the founders of Uncle Barry’s in Park Slope, Watershed in Carroll Gardens, and Moot Bar in Clinton Hill. Landline thus serves as the natural extension of the business into the growing East Williamsburg community.

Their drink menu aims to satisfy all patrons with equal parts beer, wine, and cocktails, and the happy hour until 7pm takes $2 off most choices. The beer list is refined and has critic favorite craft brands like Maine Beer co and Cigar City, and a rotating line of local Interboro brews to come.

If you’re the competitive type, Landline is also the spot for you. A shuffleboard table greets you when you walk in, a dart board claims a place in the back, and the bar hosts original trivia every Wednesday at 9pm. The prize for winning is a hefty $50 off your tab.

Stop by Landline at 790 Grand Street and follow them @landlinebrooklyn. After that, look out for Landline to participate in future Grand Street savings programs + events.

Retro themes line the bar like rotary telephone wallpaper
