Coleman’s

Authentic Irish Pub

This venerable Tipperary Hill institution, 100 S. Lowell Ave., celebrates its 75th anniversary on April 11, which means 75 years of St. Patrick’s Day partying: green beer, Celtic music and Irish food. The party gets started at 6 a.m. on March 17, with breakfast with Ted Long and Amy Robbins from WNTQ-FM 93.1; lunch starts at 10 a.m.; there’s no limit to when you can drink. Proprietor Peter Coleman has been approached by a couple wishing to be married on St. Patrick’s Day, but he’s waiting for confirmation of that. Meanwhile, if you’re quivering in anticipation, visit www.colemansirishpub.com for the countdown to St. Patrick’s Day clock. Or call 476-1933.
