With St. Patrick’s Day soon approaching, some of the local spots more known for their evening entertainment are gearing up to celebrate the popular holiday. It falls on a Sunday this year, so area businesses are hosting their celebrations on Saturday to better coincide with the weekend. If you’re in or around the Nosara and Samara area, here’s a list of the parties:

It wouldn’t be St Patrick’s Day in Nosara without a party at the Black Sheep Pub, and this year is no different. They will be hosting two San Jose-based bands, Ave Negra and Mumble Riot. There will be many drink specials with a variety of beer on tap. Irish-inspired food will be served, as well. The party starts at 6 p.m. and last call will be at 1 a.m. There will be a small cover of 1000 colones.

The Chaman Bar will be celebrating as well with an Irish-themed evening. Be on the look out for half-priced whisky drink and Irish Car Bombs. They will also be serving an Irish Potato Stew.

For fun right in Guiones and close to the beach, head over to the Beach Dog Café for their usual Saturday night dinner featuring a happy hour running from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and music from Los Bichos. Dinner will be served from 6-10 p.m.

If you are in Samara Saturday evening, head over to Lo Q Hay. They will be doing it big with a full roasted pig and cheap drink specials such as Guiness for 1500 colones and Irish Car Bombs for 2500 colones. The pig should be ready to serve and they expect the party to go well into the evening.

No matter where you are or what kind of night you’re looking to have, you will be covered this St. Patrick’s Day. Get out, support local businesses, and enjoy this Irish tradition.
