The new business is opening for a preview of sorts on Saturday, but its owners haven’t quite finished the kitchen or the remodel.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, there’s a new Irish Pub open for business in downtown Troy. The Hubb Brick Oven & Bar opened in December, at the former home of the Bradley at 28 4th Street.

Puritans might not call most American pubs Irish, but that shouldn't stop you from eating a hot bowl of beef and potatoes.

Rise and shine—doors open at 10 AM for St. Patrick’s Day weekend at Dupont Circle’s Irish sports pub (you know what they say: you can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning). On Monday, March 17, the party starts at noon. Caveat: the kitchen is currently closed, but the Guinness will be flowing.

Year-round, Milwaukee’s blessed with many Irish pubs and eateries serving up classic fare like what you’d find in the Emerald Isle: shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, a Rueben sandwich, corned beef, and of course a pint of Guinness or Murphy’s.

St. Patrick's Day isn't merely a celebration of the Irish. It's also the a chance to celebrate one of the Emerald Isles' finest exports: Irish whiskey. Irish whiskeys generally clock in with smooth notes of grain and a moderate alcohol by volume number -- less than 47.

St. Patrick's Day weekend has arrived and with it, the drinking spirit of the Irish. The latest: Order a pint of Guinness or your favorite Irish whiskey at one of these lively bars and may your glass be ever full!

Irish whiskey can be among the best whiskeys in the world, and there's no better time to look closer at some of the best Irish whiskeys than St. Patrick's Day.
