Where to get Irish food, green beer on St. Patrick’s Day 2021 in Wichita
Last St. Patrick’s Day, things were just starting to get weird. Wichita was starting to understand that COVID-19 was a serious thing, and several restaurants and bars began voluntarily closing.
A year later, things are still a bit weird. But several restaurants are feeling confident enough to offer St. Patrick’s Day fare, events and other specials.
Here are some places where Wichita can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with food this year. Some started on Saturday, but most either waited for today or are carrying over their weekend specials.
Let me know if I’m missing anyone by emailing dneil@wichitaeagle.com.
