Los Angeles is acknowledged as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the U.S. With great diversity of people comes great diversity of food. Yet where L.A. excels is in its endless quantities of Mexican tacos and Korean barbecue options, the city is lacking in its considerably small number of Irish restaurants and pubs. With the most celebrated Irish holiday coming up, Saint Patrick’s Day can be difficult to navigate for those celebrating in the city, so here are some go-to spots. Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in LA by throwing on some green clothing and grabbing a pint of Guinness or a unique Irish cocktail. I assure you this will be a St. Patty’s Day to remember (or not remember) at any of these great L.A. Irish pubs.
