There are quite a few places in the Antelope Valley to grab a drink on St. Patrick’s Day, but how does one choose where to go? It all depends on what you want out of your holiday. If you want to go someplace where you can get awesome food and a great selection of beer, wine and cocktails then I would suggest The Yard House at the AV Mall. Not only do they have some great food but there is an awesome selection of beer--everything from stout and Belgian strong ale to lager and pilsner. Be prepared to spend a little money though; this place isn’t cheap.

What if you’re in the mood for quantity instead of quality? Ruben’s is a great little dive just off of Ave. M. It is a great place to get some good times on a budget. Their bar is fully stocked with everything you need for your favorite cocktails. Their beer selection does leave a bit to be desired, but their prices are great.


For as great as Ruben’s is, it can get a little crowded in there. If you want someplace a little quieter, then I’d point you to Nico’s Mexican Food. Located off of Sierra Highway between Ave. M and L. This cozy Mexican themed restaurant has a fully loaded bar and some very experienced bar tenders. Best of all the drinks are reasonably priced and the staff is friendly.

If clubbing is more your vibe, then you will want to head over to the Bamboo Lounge at BeX on Lancaster Blvd. This is one of the best nightclubs in the AV. The music is great and the dance floor is hot. Best of all, there is a wide variety of drinks and cocktails; there’s even blueberry beer. Whether you have drinks at one, or all of these places on St. Patrick’s day, The Examiner reminds you to enjoy your alcoholic beverages responsibly and never drink and drive.
