Where to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in San Antonio: From Green Beer to Chef-Driven Menus

SAN ANTONIO — With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, restaurants across San Antonio and the surrounding area are getting into the Irish spirit with festive menus, themed cocktails and celebratory specials. From green beer and parade-day cocktails to chef-driven dining experiences, locals and visitors will have plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday throughout the city.

Here are a few places offering special St. Patrick’s Day experiences.

Clementine

At Clementine, the holiday will be marked with a one-day-only festive edition of its popular “Feed Me” dining experience on March 17.

The chef-curated menu takes inspiration from Irish flavors and seasonal ingredients, offering dishes such as hot pot cabbage with fried oysters, potato and Irish cheddar terrine and Irish lobster agnolotti. Guests who prefer to order individually can still enjoy the restaurant’s regular dinner menu.

The evening concludes with a playful “pot of gold” surprise before dessert, offering a refined nod to St. Patrick’s Day traditions.

Reservations for the St. Patrick’s Day Feed Me experience are available through OpenTable.

Smashin Crab

Seafood lovers can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend at Smashin Crab, which is bringing back its popular green beer special for the holiday.

Available throughout St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the festive beverage pairs with the restaurant’s New Orleans-inspired seafood menu. Smashin Crab is also launching a new After Party Happy Hour during the final hour of service each day, welcoming guests who want to continue celebrating right up until closing time.

The restaurant operates multiple locations in San Antonio, including Alamo Ranch, Leon Valley and Stone Oak.

Muck & Fuss – New Braunfels

In nearby New Braunfels, Muck & Fuss is celebrating with a festive “Pint and Tot of Gold” special.

Guests who purchase a pint of beer can enjoy half-off tots, and for those wanting to fully lean into the holiday theme, any beer can be turned green for the celebration.

After enjoying the special, patrons can continue the festivities next door at Sidecar at Prince Solms Inn, a vintage speakeasy located inside the historic Prince Solms Inn.

The downtown restaurant offers a festive atmosphere for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy the celebration along the San Antonio River Walk.
