ST. PATRICK’S DAY ON MAIN STREET: EVENTS & SPECIALS
St. Patrick’s Day in Breckenridge blends mountain-town charm with festive Main Street energy. From green beers and Guinness pours to late-night live music and ski-day celebrations, it’s one of the liveliest days of the season—no lift ticket required.
If you’re in town on March 17, here’s where to go and what to expect:

Burke & Riley’s Irish Pub
Corner of Main Street & Lincoln Ave
A local favorite for St. Paddy’s Day and beyond, Burke & Riley’s delivers an unbeatable mix of classic Irish pub fare, mountain views, and festive energy. The rooftop patio is usually buzzing (even in March), and the indoor bar fills fast with skiers swapping stories over shepherd’s pie and pints.
What to expect:
- Green beer, Irish whiskey specials, and Guinness on tap
- Traditional Irish menu additions (bangers & mash, corned beef, Irish stew)
- Live music or a DJ in the evening
- One of the best St. Patrick’s Day atmospheres in town
Pro tip: Get there early—Burke’s usually hits standing room only by late afternoon.
Napper Tandy’s Irish Pub
South Main Street, inside La Cima Mall
For a rowdier, late-night St. Paddy’s vibe, Napper Tandy’s is the go-to. Located above Salt Creek, this divey Irish pub packs in the party with bands, DJs, and a dance floor that keeps going long after après.
What to expect:
- Drink specials all day and night (think car bombs, Jameson deals, and plenty of Guinness)
- High-energy crowd and DJ sets after 9 PM
- Pool tables and arcade games if you need a break from the dance floor
- Locals and visitors alike soaking in the Irish spirit (and maybe some green glitter)
Pro tip: It’s a basement bar—so layers come off fast once the dance floor fills.
