Bar Crawls are Luckier with St. Patrick’s Day Costumes

By Admin

Bar crawls seem to be the most fun on special occasions, especially when those occasions are best celebrated with brews.  Holidays like St. Patrick’s day—along with Cinco de Mayo—are becoming very popular traditions that people celebrate without really giving much thought to the real meaning.  Like Halloween, these eventful days are great excuses for everyone involved (adults) to let loose and party up; it is even becoming tradition to wear costumes.  Every 17th of March, people all over the world strategically plan the best bar hopping route for their pub crawl.  Friends gather at a local bar, designate drivers and the crawling begins.  Most bars don’t have strict dress codes, but on St. Patty’s Day, the implied rule is that everyone must wear green, at the very least.  Still, you can take it further and double up on the fun with St. Patrick’s Day Costumes.  

March 17th is the most popular day for leprechaun sightings since wearing a costume has become one of the more celebrated traditions of this day. It is not just for men, women are also taking part in the St. Patty’s costume craze in a very Halloween-like way—with sexy leprechaun costumes.  Wearing a St. Patty’s Day costume has its perks.  Consider yourself a guest of honor at every pub on your crawl list; your St. Paddy’s Day spirit is exactly what your local bar wants since it helps promote the celebration.  The pub owner will definitely be seeing (a different type) of green if more people dress up because it  helps the bar seem like a fun place where people feel free to express their joy for St. Patrick’s.  It’s practically free promotion, so many bar owners encourage patrons to attend St. Patrick’s Day events in costumes by offering free drinks and cash prizes for best dressed leprechaun.  You can definitely get lucky without a four leaf clover. 

Pub crawls are (very) social events and needless to say, the drinking leaves everyone competing for attention.  If you are an outgoing fellow and crave more attention than the average lad, a St. Patrick’s day costume is exactly what you need to dominate your crawl.  Whether you are a male wearing a hilarious leprechaun outfit or a lady wearing a sexy green St. Paddy’s ensemble, you will more easily lead your pack dressed in a costume that embodies the increasingly popular holiday.  No outfit is a better conversation starter on St. Patrick’s Day than a leprechaun suit.

If you are convinced that a St. Patrick’s Day costume is for you but you are too shy to dive into full blown leprechaun mode, there are less intense alternatives for you in-betweeners.  Sometimes, embracing your inner leprechaun is a slow process.  Every year you can outdo the previous one with a more elaborate outfit until one day you finally transform beyond recognition.  The best way to start is with St. Patrick’s Day mini kits that usually include a hat, maybe some suspenders, a bow tie and a matching vest.  Next time you can throw in the pants, then the shoes, jacket, wig, make up, and so on and so on, until you are eventually dragging around a pot o’ gold to the end of the rainbow and calling everyone ‘lad’on the way—by then, you probably had too much to drink.  Nonetheless, it will be extremely enjoyable.
