Everyone's Irish in West Park on St. Patrick’s Day, or, really, any other day of the year. With its manicured yards, abundant green space and a plethora of pubs, Cleveland’s westernmost community feels like a slice of the Emerald Isle.
Get your geek on at Carol & John’s Comic Book Shop – one of the biggest and best in the region – where you’ll encounter rare author and illustrator visits and can shop from a library of thousands of comic books along with collectibles like action figures and apparel. A dense cluster of watering holes at Kamm’s Corners makes the area a year-round hotspot for impromptu bar crawls and raucous parties before and after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade downtown, and especially for The Hooley. Kegs and eggs, anyone?
Come see why Delish coined P.J. McIntyre’s as Ohio’s Best Irish Pub with standards like shepherd’s pie and creative fusions like Irish egg rolls (crispy fried wontons stuffed with reuben filling and Thousand Island dressing for dipping). An all-day Irish breakfast comes in two sizes big enough to share, served with imported black and white pudding, bangers and rashers. Warm, scratch-made bread pudding is topped with a decadent Irish whiskey cream sauce is more than enough reason to save room for dessert. Bringing the whole crew? Take the celebration downstairs to Bridgie Ned’s, a private pub space that accommodates up to 100 cocktail partygoers.
Experience West Park’s historic character and international eats first-hand, or through the lens of the residents and visitors exploring its streets.
