St. Patrick’s Day is a festival held annually on March 17 and commemorating the death of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Despite the initially religious tradition, the date has become a festival with lots of green beer and brings together lovers of Irish culture. And since we in São Paulo love a good reason to get together in good pubs, we’ve selected bars that celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the capital.
