St. Patrick's Day in Chicago: What to Know
Chicago celebrates St. Patrick's Day harder than almost any city in America. The tradition of dyeing the Chicago River green has been going on since 1962, and it draws hundreds of thousands of people downtown every year. In 2026, the festivities fall on Saturday, March 14 — meaning bars and restaurants go all out.
River North is ground zero with 16 deals, thanks to its concentration of bars along the riverwalk. Lakeview comes in second with 9 specials, especially along Clark Street. The Loop and Lincoln Park round out the top four.
Expect deals on Guinness, Jameson, Irish-themed cocktails, corned beef and cabbage, and shepherd's pie. Many venues host ticketed events with open bars and live music. Others run walk-in specials all day. Use our search to find exactly what you're looking for.
