One of the most popular ways to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day is by attending the St. Paddy's Day Party at Schroeder's.

Grab some green garb and your friends, and head over to Schroeder's for a great time!

Another San Francisco tradition is St. Paddy's Day at the Buena Vista, https://www.thebuenavista.com/home/home.html . This is the place where Irish Coffee was invented. Believe it or not, my 29-year-old nephew had never had an Irish Coffee before so we headed there last weekend when he was visiting.  Located near Fisherman's Wharf and the Hyde & Powell Street s cable car turnaround, the cafe will be serving up traditional Saint Patrick's Day dishes. You may indulge in corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, and other Buena Vista favorites all day long on March 17th. Make sure to indulge in at least one of their famous Irish Coffees during your visit. Buena Vista Cafe is open from 9 am to 11 pm, so you can enjoy this festive holiday at any time during the day.
