It’s St Patrick’s Day! While the festivities proper are on Sunday, March 17, the whole weekend is punctuated with events and concerts for all to enjoy. Have a gander at these four lively options!
Three-day fun at Harat's
Harat’s Pub is Zagreb’s most popular Irish hostelry, right in the heart of town. With a spacious interior, Harat’s also has an absolutely huge outdoor seating space when the weather permits. They’ve arranged for a three-day run to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, with Friday and Saturday’s entertainment provided by Bocca Sofistifunk and DJ Benc respectively, with El Diablo takeing over on Sunday. Note that reservations are only possible for the 17th, with the rest being on a first come, first serve basis.
Where: Kaptol 4, Trg Petrice Kerempuha. When: All weekend.
Among the Irish at Sheridan's
Opened by Irish national Adrian Sheridan, Sheridan’s bills itself as ‘The Only Real Irish Pub in Croatia’. True or not, it’s easy to see what they mean – run by Irish nationals, this relatively small locale is always bouncing with energy during events, not least St Patrick’s Day. Sheridan’s is inviting any and all to come celebrate with the Irish on Sunday, with no bells and whistles attached – come drink, dance and enjoy a proper St Patrick’s Day experience.
Where: Savska cesta 36. When: Sunday, March 17.
Local Irish band at Hard Place
On Saturday, Zagreb band Belfast Food will be leading the entertainment at Hard Place with their lively and energetic show. While tickets are available here for €11 (which includes a complimentary glass of whiskey), those who show up in a kilt get in free – something to think about before the doors open at 8pm.
Where: Ulica Hrvatske bratske zajednice 4. When: Saturday, March 16, 8pm.
Celtic punk at Vintage Industrial Bar
In similar vein, the celtic punk band Jolly Rogers from Zagreb provide the fun at the Vintage Industrial Bar for an affordable €5, tickets available exclusively on the door from 8.30pm. With DJ Snih providing the post-concert music, this party will rage on until 5am on Sunday morning, leaving attendees suitably inebriated for St Patrick’s Day proper.
Where: Savska cesta 160. When: Doors 8.30pm, concert 9.15pm.
