Two shows!!! 3:00p.m. and 7:00p.m. Tables sold out fast for both shows, but general seating and standing room is still available!!!
Thanks to the great success of the 1st Annual Hair of the Dog
Extravaganza, we are going to do it all over again, in a different space,...with thicker Irish roots, some new improvements, and a much more affordable bar! What is this anyway you ask? This is a variety show, a party, and a new way to experience St. Patrick's Day.
