There are plenty of Irish pubs in metro Atlanta to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, after enjoying the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Downtown Atlanta.

1. The St. Patrick's Day Parade in Atlanta

Atlanta's St. Patrick's Day Parade takes place in Downtown Atlanta, and wraps up at Underground Atlanta, which will feature many family-friendly activities related to the holiday. Revelers can enjoy food and drink specials at restaurants and bars located in Kenny's Alley. (Note that due to the 2008 tornado, the parade was canceled.)

2. Fado

This Buckhead fixture has long been considered a must-visit for St. Patty's Day revelers. Plenty of Irish memorabilia, Irish food, and Irish music makes for a memorable St. Patrick's Day celebration.

3. O'Terrill's

O'Terrill's is a friendly neighborhood pub located in the rapidly developing area nicknamed SoNo, south of North Avenue. Situated conveniently between Downtown and Midtown, O'Terrill's menu features both Irish and American favorites, theme nights, and a very spirited St. Patrick's Day celebration.

4. James Joyce Pub

This pub, located in Avondale Estates, features an ambitious menu, and a more low-key atmosphere to celebrate the shamrock.

5. P'cheen

P'cheen means "moonshine" in Gaelic, and this new upstart pub located in the Old Fourth Ward packs quite a punch. Despite the Gaelic name, the menu is decidedly international in approach, with curries, paella, and burgers all finding a happy home.

6. Irish Bred

This Irish pub located in Underground Atlanta will be one of the headquarters for St. Patrick's Day celebrations as the official St. Patrick's Day Parade returns to Downtown Atlanta this year.

7. Limerick Junction

Atlanta's oldest Irish pub is a neighborhood favorite located in the Virginia Highlands. Their St. Patty's Day celebration includes a block party, with traditional Irish food, plenty of Irish brews, and live entertainment.

8. Loafing Leprechaun

This colorful Duluth restaurant and pub features weekly karaoke, live music, and a festive St. Patrick's Day celebration for all the Irish that live OTP.

9. Harp Irish Pub

Located in Roswell, this is another great OTP location for St. Patrick's Day revelers that don't want to have to drive into Atlanta to celebrate. It's also a great locale for a slightly older crowd to take in the St. Patrick's Day festivities.
