THE BLOCK PARTY takes place in Chinatown at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, March 17. Nu‘uanu, Merchant and Marin Lanes will be closed. O’Toole’s and Murphy’s Bar and Grill will be the home base of the party.

AS ALWAYS, food, live Irish music and drinks will be plentiful. O’Toole’s has one of the widest selections of Irish whiskey in the state. Earlier in the day, O’Toole’s will have a full lineup starting at 1 p.m. featuring Kaimana Ceili Band, Kieran Murphy. At night, Doolin Rakes and Piranha Brothers will provide local music.

PAST YEARS have seen thousands of people in attendance, and this year over 5,000 people are expected to come through. People take the theme seriously and don shamrock glasses, hats, and necklaces, as well as chug glasses of green beer.

THE EVENT IS FREE, and the party will continue until 10 p.m., so come ready to bring out your inner Irish, and don’t forget to wear green!

St. Patrick’s Day

BLOCK PARTY St. Patrick’s Day brings a burst of culture to the island and yet another excuse to get inebriated.

The annual block party is thrown by Murphy’s Bar and Grill, with support from O’Toole’s.

Smithwick’s is an Irish Red Ale. but the only similarity it bears with Killian’s is its red color. The head of the ale is an agreeable balance between the ghostly bubbles of Killian’s and the fat froth of Harp Lager. The fl avor profi le consists primarily of malts with a slightly bitter fi nish.

Harp Irish Lager by Guinness has a clear, medium-gold color-ing. The head is clean, white and quite large, which hints at its high carbonation. The beer has a light, malty aroma. This lager tastes crisp, has a light body and a barely bitter back end.

Killian’s is a red lager. Its most unique feature is its deep scarlet hue. After a pour, the short head dissipates quite rapidly, leaving thin circles of white on the sur-face of the beer, which makes for a less than appetizing presenta-tion. Its initial taste is pleasant, with overtones of malt and un-dertones of fl oral notes.

ST. PATRICKS DAY

BEER GUIDEThis holiday originated in Ireland, so, in an effort to preserve the vestiges of the original St. Patrick’s Day, consider drinking the following Irish beers:

It is widely believed that if you wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, the luck of the Irish will be on your side. However, wearing green isn’t a foolproof plan. If you’re looking to get lucky this St. Patty’s Day, here are a few ways to help seal the deal.

How To Get LuckyJIMMY EDENS AND SAMMI BAUMGARTNER STAFF WRITERS

JIMMY SAID:1. THE IRISH GENTLEMEN

There’s no bigger disappointment than running into the guy that has no ties to Ire-land whatsoever wearing a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” shirt. Classy move, bro. Match it up with a nice pair of slacks, a green vest and orange tie to make you look like a dapper Danny for the lasses this St. Patrick’s Day.

2. GROW A BEARDWhat better way is there to make men

next to you look like boys than to have a magnifi cent, glorious beard? Having a full-set, well-manicured beard is a turn-on for most women, so let nature take its course this St. Patty’s Day and get GQ grizzly.

1. KNIT AN ARAN SWEATERBack in the day, Irish women would knit an

Aran sweater, made of blackberry and honey-comb, to give to prospective husbands. If the man accepted, the love was set for eternity. This St. Patty’s Day, do the same for somebody you want. Who knows, your borderline crazi-ness may be enticing to someone.

2. FAKE AN IRISH ACCENTForeign is sexy, so this St. Patty’s Day,

pretend to be someone else. If you realize halfway into the conversation that your im-pression is terrible, just keep rolling with it. The confi dence will boost your chances.

The green theme is a must for the day, but try to include other col-ors — like a pink lace shirt over a tank top. Don’t be afraid to try different things with your outfi t!

A green crocheted shirt is per-fect for a casual, cool feeling. Dress it up with a black pleated skirt or down with ripped jeans.

For a block party, heels or wedges are a fun way to acces-sorize. Studded silver pumps are always fun, while wedge sneakers add secret height and edgy fl air.

Perfume is a must when in crowds; choose something sweet, but not overpowering.

Bringing a small clutch with you is always a good idea. Look for a clutch that has lots of pockets but is still streamlined. A unique camera is also a fun way to document the night while adding to your outfi t.

Instead of dragging out your phone all the time, wear a fun, col-orful watch.

For the men who are going out for the night, stay simple with your outfi t. Try dark-wash, slim jeans for a sleek look. Pair the jeans with a screened t-shirt — something with a pattern on it rather than a typical “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” shirt. Throw on a pair of dark shoes, like black Con-verse, and your outfi t is complete!Before you go out for a night

of drinking on St. Patty’s Day, don’t forget to 'green' your outfi t!

TALK A WALK DOWN TO

Where: Murphy’s Bar and GrillWhen: St. Patrick’s Day, March 17What: In the past, Murphy’s has been known to have an extraordinary St. Patty’s day lunch menu including lamb shanks, blar-ney burgers and their famous corned beef and cabbage. Throughout the day and af-ternoon, they will have their Guinness Oyster Bar loaded with freshly shucked oys-ters, steamed clams, sautéed shrimp, crab cakes and oyster shooters. If you’re looking to get Irish wasted, you’re going to want to try the Irish whiskey cake and bread pud-ding, topped with a sweet whiskey sauce.

Where: Mililani Rec Center 7When: Saturday, March 8What: This is a collaboration of over 40 different food trucks. This month’s Eat the Street theme is bacon. Who knows what kind of mysterious treats you might fi nd! Come get your bacon on!

Where: Veranda Lounge, Kahala Hotel and ResortWhen: Friday, March 7What: Enjoy a special menu that includes four unique wines and a variety of local cuisines.

Last; but not least, Friday nights at theVeranda Lounge!

If you’re heading to the China town block party on March 17, chances are you’ll be a bit hungry after all that dancing. Head on down

to Murphy’s Bar and Grill.

Aside from new and upcoming food events, there are still the ones that happen every month. Let me

give you a brief reminder of what’s to come:

MUNCHIN’ IN EVANGELINE COOKSTAFF WRITERMARCH

Walking into Anna O’Briens on South Beretania Street, just a short way from campus, is like walking into an episode of “Friends.” It’s a great spot to chill, grab a beer and listen to some live music, espe-cially on St. Patrick’s Day. Originally named Anna Banana’s, the pub got a makeover when Bill Comerford took over the place. Comerford started out as a bar-tender and worked his way up to owning Anna O’Brien’s as well as O’Toole’s Irish Pub, The Irish Rose Saloon and Kelly O’Neil’s. Anna O’Brien’s us a two story pub. Downstairs, the bar boasts the necessities of every club, from pool tables to a jukebox. Patrons are allowed to smoke downstairs, making it one of the few bars that still allows smoking. Upstairs is a smoke-free zone with a corner stage to accompany the many acts that perform there. Once a month, the bar features Irish music to honor its heritage. Comerford sums up the great business to it being a communal place, saying, “It’s everybody’s bar.” The bar offers Irish beers on tap like Guinness Stout at reasonable prices. They also have special clubs like the mug club, in which, if you bid on the right mug you get 50 cents off your drinks all night, something defi nitely worth checking out. Though many types of people - from bikers to punks to hippies - have passed through the doors, Anna O’Briens is a place that has drawn in devoted patrons time and time again.

They recently played at Kelley O’Neil’s, so be sure to keep your ears open this St. Patty’s day.
