Where to Find Green Beer, Live Music, and Irish Vibes
Every March 17, something magical happens in Guadalajara. The city turns green — and we don't just mean the decorations. Bars fill up, craft beers flow, live music spills out onto the streets, and tapatíos and expats alike raise a glass together in honor of Ireland's patron saint.
Did you know that Jalisco has one of the deepest bonds with Ireland of anywhere in the world? During the Mexican-American War, a group of Irish soldiers defected from the U.S. Army — and fought for Mexico instead. They became known as the Batallón de San Patricio, and they're still celebrated as heroes on both sides of the Atlantic. That's why when Guadalajara goes green on March 17, it's not just a party. It's history. Honoring a 175-year-old friendship.
Here's your complete guide to the best🍺bars🍽️restaurants, and🍀events to go green in the Pearl of the West and understanding the history behind it✨
