Irish pride abounds here in New Jersey and the adage of “you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy St. Paddy's Day” rings true.

There are those who think that St. Patty’s Day is reserved for amateurs and those that enjoy celebrating with vigor and a great attitude.

People migrate to their favorite Irish bar because they feel the comfort and know the staff and what to expect, there are others who look for any bar with an Irish name just to celebrate regardless there is a significant crowd at Irish bars throughout the state for Jersey’s Irish season.
