Siné

Richmond’s favorite Irish establishment is throwing down for DAYS to celebrate this year. Bands, food, and (of course) Irish beverages – sure to be a good time. Featured performers include Seven Nations on Friday, and Three-O, Sloth Loves Chunk, DJ Williams Projekt, and Broken Monday on Saturday. Festivities start Friday, March 12 and run through St. Patrick’s Day when they’ll be serving up Irish fare and raising a pint (or few) in honor of Ireland’s patron saint. There’s a $5 cover after 1pm and for band performances.
