The most wonderful night of the year (for a cocktail)
The discussion cropped up in the editorial office the other day and we thought it would make a good discussion for Thanksgiving Eve. What is your favorite night of the year to enjoy a social drink? Is it tonight, which has a "reunion" vibe? Is it New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day or Opening Day, which have a "see how long you can stand" vibe? Is it Halloween, which has an "incognito" vibe? Or, is it another night that strikes your fancy?

The week in local music: March 17, 2008
It's St. Patrick's Day in the United States, so we know you're going out; it's only a matter of where. Just about every bar and restaurant in the city has the good business sense to capitalize on this booziest of holidays, but how many of them have live Irish music actually worth listening to?

Sunday Sound-off: Is St. Patty’s Day for amateurs?
Do you plan to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at a bar, or are green beer and shamrock hats for “amateurs?”

A stout story
More stout flows around St. Patrick's Day than at any other time in the U.S. So, it's the perfect time to consider the story of our favorite dark beer.

Irish pub guide
Many Irish immigrants settled in Milwaukee over the years, and a number of neighborhoods were identified as "Irish." The result is a thriving Irish Fest and a plethora of fine pubs pouring Guinness, Harp, Murphy's and more.
