Are you stocked up on Guinness and all things green? Do you know what a Blarney Stone is? Do you know what the "32" in Ireland's 32 stands for? If you answered yes to these questions you may be ready. If not, then you have some pub hopping to do. LA is loaded with bars, pubs, and taverns of every conceivable shape and size. But some of the best spots to celebrate Happy Hour fall are our very own Irish pubs.

Some Angelenos only visit their friendly neighborhood Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day. But there are 364 other days of the year to enjoy a pint of Guinness and hear some great live music - 365 days if it's a leap year. Choosing a bar stool for St. Patrick's is a major commitment. Get some exploring done before March 17th rolls up on you. Check out this list of LA's Best Irish Pubs to get your pub crawl started.
