Tomorrow marks another Southie St. Patrick’s Day parade. Irish or not – plenty of Boston residents (almost 1 million to be exact) plan to cram the T, bike or walk numerous miles to catch all of the Sunday Funday action happening in South Boston.
Not only is the parade the second largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the country – but it’s also one of the biggest drinking days in Boston (at least, we think so). And if you planning on heading to the parade, you should know that there are numerous taverns, pubs and bars to choose from. To help make your planning a little easier, we’ve rounded just a few of Southie’s best bars for your Sunday. All of which are either on or near the parade route.
And for more details and information about this year’s St. Paddy’s parade, here’s everything (else) you need to know about this Sunday.
Amrheins Restaurant
A South Boston restaurant right off the parade route, where you can get your lobster fix. We recommend trying their decadent lobster mac and cheese.

Imbibe on local microbrews while snacking on some “Modern American cuisine” at The Franklin Cafe.
The Junction
One of the best bars in South Boston, this place offers 12 beers on tap, a full bar and food specials.
