O’Neills, Leeds

This infamous sports bar by the station are dedicating a whole week (11th to 18th March) to the Irish this year, showing sports games, offering great deals on drinks and having what they are calling “the biggest party of the year “. 

With two for one Baby Guinness shots and £2 pints to see if you can split the G all week… what could be better? 

Dry Dock 

Our favourite karaoke joint are also going green in March to celebrate St. Paddy. 

They are offering limited edition drinks – such as Baby Mint Shot or Guinness Punch – which sound creamy and delicious, as well as adding Guinness-themed food specials of a black-bun, juicy burger and a whole kg of Guinness wings available.
