If anyone knows how to party, it’s the Irish. And this year, we’re lucky enough that their biggest celebration falls on a Tuesday, which means the party will technically kick off the Saturday before (sorry not sorry).
So follow the rainbow and find your pot of gold (aka great beer and hearty feeds) at this year’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations around town.
Munich Brauhaus and The Bavarian | Various
Meet the Big Irish Breaky Schnitzelmeister: the menu item that is a beautiful fusion between Irish and German cuisine, giving you the (unexpected) best of both worlds. To celebrate St Patrick’s day, Munich Brauhaus and The Bavarian are huddling up with their Irish friends, and are setting the challenge of conquering this enormous schnitzel tower. Comprising a stack of three schnitzels in parmigiana sauce loaded with curried gems, blood sausage, cheese, crisp bacon, two sunny side up eggs and a drizzle of tomato sauce (wow), the challenge is to smash it down within one hour, along with 500ml of green beer. Available from Sunday, March 15 until Sunday March 22, beat the challenge and the feast is on the house! Find out all details here.
