St. Patrick's Day at The Beehive and More on the Food & Dining Scene

St. Patrick’s Day at The Beehive

• Come shake your shillelagh at The Beehive for an early St. Patrick’s Day celebration this Thursday, March 15, from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. You’ll enjoy authentic Irish entertainment by quartet The Ivy Leaf, plus a la carte menu specials like Corned Beef & "Cabbage" Flatbread with Sauerkraut & Cheese and Grilled Lamb Chops with Colcannon Mashed Potatoes. And, since we all love to tip one (or four) back in honor of St. Patrick, you can sip on Irish-inspired cocktail specials such as the Lady Luck (Jameson, Canton ginger, vanilla simple syrup, orange bitters, $11) and the Blood and Whiskey (Jameson, blood orange juice, and Angostura bitters, $11). Sláinte!

Corned Beef & Cabbage at Franklin Café

• Another spot serving up authentic Irish grub is Franklin Café, who will no doubt be sending out plate after plate of their house-cured corned beef brisket with caramelized cabbage and new potatoes ($18). The dish is such a hit that is has even been featured on Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” Once you’re hooked, you can even try out the recipe at home.  

Guest Chef Mondays at Stella
