As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, Bozeman is buzzing with excitement. This year, the celebrations will be lively, especially for local bars. The Bacchus Pub, a beloved establishment, is gearing up for its biggest day of the year.
Bozeman Bars Amp Up for St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day falls on Tuesday, and for many in Bozeman, it marks a peak celebration. Bacchus Pub, which has been a staple since its opening in 1929, anticipates record numbers this March.
Preparing for the Festivities
Everett, the manager, describes St. Patrick’s Day as their “Super Bowl.” He noted that the demand for beer and food notably increases throughout the month. Each year, the pub prepares for a significant boost in sales, particularly on this festive occasion.
- Green Beer: Bacchus will serve its popular Leprechaun Tears from Sawtooth Brewery, expecting to go through three to four kegs just for the day.
- Guinness Sales: Last Saturday, roughly 500 pints of Guinness were sold, with expectations to sell around 1,200 on Tuesday.
- Total Kegs Ordered: For St. Patrick’s Day, Bacchus ordered 18 kegs, amounting to approximately 2,232 pints of Guinness.
Food and Entertainment Offerings
In addition to beer, corned beef and cabbage will be served all day. The pub anticipates selling at least 150 portions of this traditional dish. Live music will also be part of the festivities, kicking off at 7:00 PM.
Another popular spot, 317, will hold a special toast at 3:17 PM, drawing even more patrons. Despite recent tariff changes on imported products, Bacchus has managed to keep prices stable for their Irish beers.
