With a ratio of food tents to beer tents of about one to five, it was obvious that food wasn't the priority at the John Martin's St. Patrick's Day celebration last night. Short Order knew that but still swung by to check out the food and drink a Harp in the process.

The closed-off street block was jam-packed and nobody seemed to care that the beers were $8. Books & Books capitalized on the crowds by selling beer for $2 less in its courtyard. Others were even smarter, showing up with their own giant mugs filled with beer to listen to the live music.
