Instagram a Shamrock Martini
When: Saturday, March 17th
Where: Blue Mermaid Restaurant and Bar
Why: Treat yourself to a tipsy stroll by Fisherman’s Wharf, then head into the Argonaut Hotel’s signature restaurant for a hearty meal and a Shamrock Martini (which is just as scrumptiously basic as it sounds). At the hotel restaurant, Blue Mermaid Restaurant & Bar, the chef will be preparing a corn beef and cabbage meal, priced at $22 and served with roasted red potatoes. So you can refuel and get your drink on again with a creme de menthe, creme de cacao, and cream-and-sprinkles-laden drink. Hashtag, #shamrockmartini. Hashtag, #gotlucky. // 471 Jefferson St, North Beach
