OK, I am writing this after shoveling snow for most of the day in March. If you had to shovel yourself out of this winter mess, you deserve a good St. Patrick's Day Celebration in Boston.
Now, this is Boston, I don't care what people are saying we are better than Buffalo at doing St. Patrick's Day!! I'd like to think we are more than green beer and hats.
While almost every bar in Boston will be celebrating on March 17th, using my years of experience and hours of research, I think I have put together a great list of the BEST places, specials, and pints for St. Patrick's Day around Boston!!
Enjoy the day and be responsible

McGreevy's Boston - They take this day very serious, first off they open the doors and taps on St. Patrick's Day at 8:00 am. I might go for breakfast and a pint because, why not!! But this is also the home bar of Boston's own Drop Kick Murphy's (See Above) I always make McGreevy's one of my many stops for St Patrick's Day and I hope you do too.

Best Pints of Guinness in Boston
A lot of bar's say they have the Best Pint in Boston. Everybody has their favorite. Mine is the one I am drinking right now.
However, Boston does have a few spots that by far have a perfect pour and better-tasting pint. My top two, like most Guinness Drinkers in Boston, are Mr. Dooley's Tavern and Solas Irish Pub.
However here is a little cheat sheet of Boston area bars with great pints all year long. Courtesy of @Bostontweet
