5 Lucky Places to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2012

Everyone’s favorite drinking holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, is just around the corner. It’s time to put on your favorite green top, head to your favorite Irish pub, and get blitzed.

Just remember that, along with drinking holidays come increased DUI checkpoints, so wherever you go, take a cab. And if the cab driver’s not wearing green, I don’t recommend pinching. They don’t play.

You’re probably ready to quench your thirst, so I won’t keep you any longer. Here are five awesome places to celebrate St. Patty’s day in Los Angeles!
