**BEST IRISH PINT! 🏅
DANNY MURRY’S IRISH PUB (San Leandro)
Kilkenny on tap–need we say more? This thick creamy pint, alone, is worth your trip to DANNY MURRY’S IRISH PUB, a neighborhood hangout in the East Bay, which also serves Guinness and a “vast” selection of fine Irish whisky. Better yet, they had stepdancers for St. Pat’s Day, and the staff is super friendly. Pro tip: in case you get hungry, fantastic burritos are just one block away.
**OPEN FERMENTED! ✨
KELLY BREWING COMPANY (Morgan Hill)
Every microbrew crafted by KELLY BREWING COMPANY is fermented old-world style in open tanks, where the yeast gets scooped right off the top. Order a full flight to sample each flavor and taste the difference of fresh, local brewing! There is plenty of room on the outdoor patio. Pro tip: Kelly’s is a hub for board game enthusiasts.
**CELTIC MUSIC YEAR-ROUND! 💖
ROSIE MC CANN’S IRISH PUB (Santa Cruz)
Ask any Celtic musician from the Monterey Bay region where they cut their teeth, and chances are they will mention ROSIE’S! Bagpipers, trad bands, and casual Irish session players all appreciate the tremendous support given to our local community by this classy, family-friendly restaurant, with a beautiful wooden bar. Pro tip: check online or call for a schedule of drop-in Irish music sessions.
**BEST PINOTS AND ALLOYS! 🏅
SILVER MOUNTAIN VINEYARDS (Los Gatos)
Feel the magic when you first set foot in this beautiful mountaintop vineyard, perched between the gaping San Andreas fault and forestland plunging toward the Monterey Bay. BYO picnic lunch and find a table on the lawn, mingle in the tasting room, or hide on the back deck, enjoying prize-winning local wines. Pro tip: ask Silver Mountain Vineyard about their new Library Club.
