Anyone know a good irish bar to go to in Sao Paulo on St Patricks Day?

Question

Preferably one with other english speaking people who live/work or are on holiday?

Answer 1

There was a group of translators and EFL teachers who used to go to Finnegan's as they regularly had cultural events. Details follow, and of other two Irish pubs as well. But once St. Patrick's is past, keep making Brazilian friends, learning the language and their ways. I know many people from the UK who isolated themselves in circles of British people (which is even more limiting than English-speaking) and never got to live the real Brazilian experience and fully understand the culture. Have fun. X

Este autêntico pub irlandês foi fundado em 1988 e é administrado pelos sócios fundadores Frank Phillips e Mário Fuchs. Suas especialidades são os petiscos. O público é jovem-adulto. Bom para relaxar depois de um dia de trabalho. O preço médio do serviço é R$15.

Dois eventos especiais fazem parte do calendário de comemorações da casa: o Saint Patrick`s Day – todo 17 de março o Finnegan`s serve o famoso chopp verde, em comemoração ao tradicional dia da cultura irlandesa – e também o Bloomsday - tradição retirada do romance Ulisses, de Joyce, que conta o único dia na vida do personagem Bloom, o 16 de junho. Neste dia os leitores de Joyce promovem encontros no mundo todo. Em São Paulo o Finnegans promove neste dia um sarau organizado por Haroldo de Campos, apresentando leituras de textos do escritor irlandês, apresentações teatrais e musicais.

Answer 2

Go to 'Pablo Murphys' on Que Diablo Street. Just mention you're an Irish Republican and you will get free drinks.
