Sips & Soirees for St. Paddy’s Day!

3.13 Eblast

Half of Houston may be seeing George Strait at the Rodeo on Sunday, but the other half won’t be green with envy — they’ll be green celebrating St. Paddy’s Day.


A bash at still-new Jack & Ginger’s Irish Pub in Midtown includes live music from 12pm to 2am — bagpipes will give way to a DJ-spun dance party — and 82 beers on tap (a few green ones, for sure!). The St. Patrick’s Day Shindig at Eight Row Flint in the Heights will be dispensing green beer, too, along with $2 green Jello shots.

Poitín is taking the celebrations to a new level with its Sunday-night family-style Irish feast, featuring brown bread with smoked salmon, shepherds pie — and four cocktails, including the Teeling Tipperary Whiskey Sour and, of course, a nightcap of Irish coffee. Only 100 tickets are available.

Start the party early at Treebeards in Market Square. Usually closed on weekends, it’s opening its doors for a Can Jam party on Saturday from 2-5pm (3 tap beers for $15!) — and return on Sunday after Downtown’s St. Patrick’s Day parade for a festive finish to the weekend.

Leadership in Action: ‘Setting Clear Goals’ Among Secrets of Success for Attorney Jess Bailey

How did you get to where you are today?

Goals provided direction, while a growth mindset helped me turn challenges into opportunities for learning. Consistent habits, like disciplined work and effective communication, kept me moving forward. Being surrounded by motivated, supportive individuals has elevated my standards and kept me accountable. They’ve provided advice, encouragement, and sometimes that extra push I needed to stay on track. With these elements, I’ve been able to create a framework that helps me succeed and ensures I continue to grow and evolve.
