St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and unless you have your own stock of corned beef and whiskey at home, you're going to need somewhere to indulge in Irish delicacies. We rounded up the best places to celebrate this Thursday.
Irish American Milkshake
An indulgent mix of Guinness stout, house-made Russell's Root Beer syrup, milk chocolate, and sweet cream ice cream, the Irish American milkshake at The Ice Cream Bar is worth every single mile you'll need to run to work it off. It's only available from March 14-20, and thank goodness, otherwise we might have to eat one every day. // 815 Cole St. (Cole Valley), theicecreambarsf.com
$2 Off Jameson Cocktails
Bowling/bocce ball/arcade emporium Plank is serving up corned beef tacos and Boyne Valley rolls (corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, spicy mustard) this St. Patrick's Day. A the bar, all Jameson cocktails will be $2 off. If you're up for a little competition, diners can try the Green Pin Bowling challenge for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

Corned Beef + Cabbage in Wine Country
Wine Country is keeping Irish traditions alive by serving corned beef and cabbage, Irish coffee, and other Irish themed cocktails at Spoonbar this week. AND, for every coffee sold, 10 percent of the total check will go to The Healdsburg Education Foundation. You're basically performing a public service. // 219 Healdsburg Ave (Healdsburg); spoonbar.com
