Some holidays come with baggage (less than desirable obligations) and can be a drag, but our beloved St. Patrick's Day is not one of them. Today we're not required to visit relatives we have less than nothing in common with, attend religious services, or deprive ourselves of things we actually like. All St. Patrick asks of us is to wear some green and get hammered. That's it. There are plenty of places to oblige and we can help you figure out your plans to observe this fine holiday with our handy St. Patrick's Day L.A. Pub & Party Guide!
