St. Patrick's Day in Greece

The Beer is Already Green

Did St. Patrick drive out the snakes from Greece? No. Did St. Patrick ever choose a Greek isle over his Emerald Isle? No. But don't worry - a lively Irish expatriate community in Greece has assured that you'll never be far from an Irish bar on St. Patrick's Day. And every one of them is a sure place for a party on March 17th.

Irish Pubs and Bars in Greece

Mike's Irish Bar - In the heart of Athens, this is a green and orange oasis for Irish expatriates and anyone who loves the Irish pub scene. It's also an active spors bar, and provides a karaoke night as well.

James Joyce Pub - one of Matt Barrett's favorites. An especially lively place on James Joyce's birthday, February 2nd.

Molly Malone's - Glyfada
Skip the website - the repetitive "camera" click will drive you mad - and instead go directly to the bar itself in the seaside community of Glyfada.

O'Connell's - Piraeus

This newish Irish-themed bar should feel right at home in seaside Piraeus by the ferry port.

Crete is popular with Irish expatriates and travelers, and so it offers at least two dozen Irish-themed bars and pubs.

In another language, it would be "Cheers" - but on Zakynthos (also known as Zante) Slainte is the word.

So go green ...and go Greek!
