Thinking of participating in St Patrick’s Day 2017 in Chicago? Well, let this article be your definitive guide to getting the best out of this glorious day! It doesn’t matter if you are a tourist in Chicago for the week, or if you are just looking for interesting things to do, we have got you covered! Starting with must-see attractions and events, we’ll be taking you through some of the most anticipated things that would be happening, followed up by some suggestions as to where you can spend your time based on your preferences. This St Patrick’s Day, celebrate like never before in Chicago!

Dyeing of The Chicago River

Starting early in the morning at 9 am on March 11, head over to the Chicago River and witness before you one of the most famous Chicago River St Patrick’s Day rituals in the world! Over 45 pounds of environment-friendly vegetable dye will be cascaded into the Chicago River, turning it emerald green for that one time a year spectacle.

You can expect more than 400,000 eager spectators to be present as the dye does its magic for the next five hours! Truly a spectacular way to start St Patrick’s Day in Chicago!

St Patrick’s Day 2017 in Chicago Downtown Parade

Once you’re done seeing the river transform itself, get ready for the real celebration to begin. The downtown parade held over at Columbus Drive is one of the largest parades that will be taking place in the country. Starting at Balbo Drive and moving onwards in the next three hours towards Monroe Drive, the St Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago will feature colorful floats, Irish step dancers in their signature curls, marching bands, and bagpipers! Expect lots of fun and laughter as you marvel at the very impressive sight to be beheld.

Of course, if you’re living nearer to either end of Chicago, there will also be a South Side and Northwest Side Parades happening concurrently although they may not be as impressive as the main parade at Downtown. Expect performances to be held at the Irish American Heritage Center too if you’re looking for something more toned down for the family and friends.

Public House

Now if parades and marches are not your things, and you prefer something more social and chill, then head over to Public House. You can head over to this Gastrobar right after watching the dyeing of the Chicago River and kick start your day with a special event called ‘Tap O’ The Morn’. Lasting till 12 pm, you’ll be able to enjoy Green Bud Light Drafts and Well Cocktails, Irish-inspired breakfast bites such as Irish Nachos and Mac N’ Cheese Cups, and even be granted access to the pub throughout the remainder of the day!

Get ready to dress up in your favorite shade of green and don your wearables this St Patrick’s Day at Public House! A slight note, however, is that this will be a private event so you’d have to book a table or have a ticket in order to enter.

Once the event is over at 12pm noon, Public House will open to anyone who wants to celebrate St Patrick’s Day 2017 in Chicago.

Birthday Bottle Service would be more than happy to provide assistance for your needs during this St Patrick’s Day and save you the hassle of planning all the logistics. Simply drop us a message and we will get back to you at your nearest convenience!

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.

I wanted to find a place to throw a birthday party for a girlfriend. I picked the venue on the website and received an email right away from Cristina. The reservation process was quick. I received confirmation in a timely manner. It was the easiest party planning that I have gone through. Thanks again birthday bottle service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
