Oh! Mexico

Looking for the perfect place to people watch on St. Patrick’s Day? Perfectly perched at the entrance of Miami Beach’s charming Espanola Way is Oh! Mexico, a Miami Beach gem for locals and visitors since its earliest days as one of the island’s first Mexican restaurants. The Mexican mainstay has been servicing South Florida authentic cuisine for 25 years. On Friday, March 17, Oh! Mexico will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Shamrock Shots ($8), a mix of house tequila and apple pucker all day long.

Paperfish Sushi

Another great people-watching perch is Paperfish Sushi, also located on Espanola Way. The Japanese restaurant may not have any specific St. Patrick’s Day specials, but its weekday happy hour is already a steal. $6.95 drinks and food like gyoza, rolls, and ceviche are perfect for starting your St. Patrick’s Day bar crawl or just taking a break from all the crowds. Cheers!

Shoma Bazaar

Enjoy a shamrockin’ good time at Shoma Bazaar! The local food hub is offering mouth-watering St. Patrick’s Day specials through the end of the month.

After sipping this delicious cocktail, head over to BFF Burgers for its March special the ‘Shillelagh’ ($16). This heavenly burger consists of a house blend all-beef patty, corned beef, grainy mustard, swiss cheese, cabbage, carrots and thousand island dressing. It’s time to paddy like the Irish do at Shoma Bazaar!

Salt & Straw

The Portland-based ice cream brand will be highlighting one of the flavors in its Cereal-sly Delicious Series to celebrate St.Patrick’s Day this year. The Pots of Gold & Rainbows is a legendary favorite – the Salt & Straw team hand-sorts the luck from the charms, steeping the whole-grain cereal in cream for that bottom-of-the-bowl sweetened milk flavor before stirring in mountains of rainbow marshmallows. While the flavor is available in a cup, cone or by the pint, in celebration of the holiday, guests will be able to order an Over the Rainbow Milkshake made with the specialty flavor. 

Salt & Straw has multiple Miami locations. For more information, visit their official website.
