Shrimp heads aren’t the only things turning green in Shanghai! This weekend celebrate your Irish heritage/get sauced until your face is greener than the Qingdao Coastline, at one or more of these five festive St. Paddy’s Day bashes.
Boxing Cat Brewery: From March 15-17, both Boxing Cat locations are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with all-day happy hours on their special Lucky Leprechaun Lager. Noms include corned beef and cabbage, shepherds pie, and Irish potato soup. And if you dress up as a leprechaun, your first two beers are on the house! Email [email protected] for more info!
35RMB // 10am-2am // Boxing Cat Brewery // Addresses of both locations here.
Dos Locos: St. Patrick’s Day is probably not the first thing that springs to mind when you think of a Chipotle knockoff serving Tex-Mex. Then again, what’s greener than all-natural ingredients and guacamole, which you’ll get complimentary with each entree from March 15-17 at Dos Locos. They’ll also be offering jumbo green margaritas for only 35RMB.
