Best Places to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Brookline

Here, the Patch guide to St. Patrick's Day in Brookline, from the best Guinness pours to the most delicious Irish dinners.

Maybe you aren't as Irish as St. Patrick himself (who was kidnapped and sent to Ireland as a slave, escaped in 409 and returned to Ireland in 432, believing he had been called upon to spread the word of God) but on March 17, everyone's a little Irish.

If your plans don't include hiking down to Southie to watch the parade, here are some great pubs near by:
