where can i get green beer near me

You can usually get green beer near you at Irish pubs, sports bars, and big chain restaurants around St. Patrick’s Day, or you can very easily make it at home in a few seconds.

Quick Scoop: What To Try

1. Check local spots near you

Even without your exact location, these are the places that almost always offer green beer around mid‑March:

  • Irish pubs and taverns (they often advertise green beer with corned beef and cabbage specials).
  • College bars and sports bars that run St. Patrick’s Day promotions and “green drink” nights.
  • Chain restaurants and bar‑and‑grill spots in your area, which commonly push seasonal green beer deals in March.

A quick way to find them:

  1. Open your usual maps or delivery app.
  2. Search for “Irish pub”, “St Patrick’s Day party”, or “green beer” plus your city name.
  3. Check today’s specials or recent photos/reviews; bars often post green beer pics the week of St. Patrick’s Day.

2. Order beer that’s already “green”

Some “green beer” is really just branding:

  • Certain brands and seasonal beers are marketed with green imagery or special St. Patrick’s packaging and can be ordered via major delivery apps.
  • Beer in green bottles can look greenish when held up to the light; people on forums literally joke that this “counts” as green beer in a pinch.

3. Easiest option: Make green beer at home

If no bar near you has it tonight, you can DIY it safely and cheaply:

  1. Buy a light‑colored lager or pilsner (the paler the beer, the brighter the green).
  1. Add 1–2 drops of standard green food coloring to the empty glass, not the bottle.
  2. Pour the beer over it; it will turn a clear green without changing the flavor much.

This is how many bars do it behind the scenes, just scaled up for pitchers and kegs.

4. A quick mini “forum” take

If you scroll through local Reddit or Facebook groups for your city around March 17, you’ll see posts like:

“Where’s doing green beer tonight?” followed by locals listing their favorite Irish pubs, dive bars, and St. Patrick’s block parties.

Checking a city subreddit or local food/drink Facebook group with the phrase “green beer” + your city is one of the fastest ways to get very specific recommendations people are using this year.

TL;DR:
Look for Irish pubs, sports bars, or chain bar‑and‑grills in your area advertising St. Patrick’s specials; if nothing close has it, grab light beer and green food coloring at home and you’ve got instant green beer in under a minute.
