Okay, we might not go as hard on St. Patrick’s Day in Miami as some other cities—could you imagine a neon green-dyed Biscayne Bay, or bagpipers roaming 90-degree Wynwood in tartan kilts? Still, it's a time when the city overflows with beer specials and copious shots of free whiskey from the best Miami bars, and nearly every Miami brewery throws a big green party. We know the best places in South Florida to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, from corned beef to green beer and live music. Here's where to party on St. Patrick's Day in Miami.

Time Out Market Miami
  • Things to do

Time Out Market Miami flings open its doors on Drexel and 16th for an evening of St. Patrick's Day revelry in the heart of South Beach. The food hall's breezy patio off Lincoln Road makes for an ideal setting to guzzle beer, knock back shots of whiskey and summon the luck of the Irish while partaking in cornhole, ping pong, axe throwing, skee ball, two-player basketball shootout and more. Little leprechauns are also welcome at this family-friendly, indoor-outdoor event featuring tunes from DJ Ignishun, beer specials and food from 15 of Miami's top kitchens.

A $20 ticket gets you a couple of free drinks and two days of specials at six Wynwood bars during this two-day Wynwood bar crawl. You'll breeze by cover charges at the participating spots, which likely include some of your favorites, like Veza Sur, SHOTS, Le Chick and Wynwood Brewing Co.

Do you know how you’ve been saying you wanted a reason to get back on the Brightline? Here’s the plan: Take the early train up to West Palm Beach on St. Patrick’s Day and hit the 9am start of the all-day festival put on by dive-bar-beautiful O’Shea’s, which includes a band from the Old Country, Irish dancers and enough Guinness to make the trip back become a literal blur. Festivities go 'til 4am, so don't forget to pace yourself.

Tickets to this Wynwood club crawl are the steepest of the bunch, starting at $40 for early-bird general admission. But if channeling your best Irish side means boozing and dancing 'til the wee hours, the Charmed crawl might be your best bet. Participating clubs on the route include Racket (noon to 3pm), Centro (3 to 6pm) and Electric Lady (6 to 10pm), but don your wristband early for access to crawl pre-parties (locations TBD) in the days leading up to the main event. March 18 at noon
