St. Paul Fish Company is bringing a one-of-a-kind festive Irish experience to the Milwaukee Public Market and Historic Third Ward neighborhood.
On Sunday, March 16 and Monday, March 17, they’re “blowing things up” with a festive inflatable Irish Pub that not only captures the spirit of the holiday, but offers up the perfect Instagrammable moment.
The St. Patrick’s Day Celebration will take place on the St. Paul Avenue sidewalk, just west of Broadway, and will be open from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday.
Guests can stop by to enjoy live music including The Pubbys Band, who will perform Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and Frogwater, who will take the stage on Monday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. And yes, bagpipers are scheduled to perform both days from 12:15 to 12:45 p.m.
And yes, the inflatable pub will serve up a festive selection of drinks, including Guinness on tap, Green Miller Lite and St. Paul Fish Company’s famous margarita (turned green).
Inside the Milwaukee Public Market, visitors can also enjoy a variety of themed offerings, including Reuben sandwiches from David Alan Alan’s Smokehouse & Saloon, West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe and Foltz Family Market.
On the sweeter side, Freese’s Candy Shoppe and C. Adam’s Bakery will both showcase festive holiday treats and David Alan Alan’s Smokehouse & Saloon will be serving up a festive Spiked Leprechaun Milkshake.
A portion of the proceeds from the celebration will benefit CelticMKE, an organization that promotes and celebrates all aspects of Irish, Irish American and Celtic cultures, including Milwaukee Irish Fest.
“St. Paul Fish Company and our beloved Palapa ‘Tiki’ Bar have always been a place for amazing food, good drinks and great company,” said Patrick Nedobeck of St. Paul Fish Company. “This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re taking that to the next level by creating a one-of-a-kind experience that lets guests embrace the St. Patrick’s Day spirit at one of their favorite destinations in the city.”
