The Ultimate St. Patrick’s Day Playlist for Bars and Restaurants

Written by Lara Rosenbaum | March 2014

St. Patty's Day is around the corner—and it’s the perfect time to create a new celebratory playlist for your bar or restaurant. In fact, the green holiday is one of the top days for American bar crawls. Millions celebrate every year. Even one of the White House fountains gets dyed green. You want in? Encourage the luck—and good cheer—of the Irish with this special Rockbot St. Patrick's Day playlist. 

 

'Lucky 7' St. Patrick’s Day Playlist

1. Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya — Dropkick Murphys

A classic track to speed up the vibe in your bar. As if the nine million YouTube views isn't enough evidence, "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya" is perfect for kicking off the morning, rallying drinkers at the height of the day, or reviving your audience later in the evening. You can always rely on Dropkick Murphys to keep the party going.

 

 

2. Drunken Lullabies — Flogging Molly

To get fast, festive and authentic...go with this crowd-pleaser and play it loudly.


3. Seven Drunken Nights — The Dubliners

To feel sentimental AND Irish...this one will do the trick. 

 

4. Galway Girl — Mundy

To encourage customers to sing...because singing customers often spill their beers, order refills, and put more cash in your pocket!

 

5. Beer, Beer, Beer — Clancy Brothers

To encourage drinking and more refills. Make sure all of your staff are behind the bar when this one hits.

 

6. If I Should Fall From Grace With God — The Pogues

To boost morale and give your St. Patrick's Day playlist an emotional kick.

 

7. Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore — The Young Dubliners

To tame the mood...make your customers happy...and encourage a few more rounds.
