Much like searching for a pot of gold, Tucsonans often scour the city for a place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
Whether it’s green beer, something a tad craftier, a bite of corned beef, or simply a place you can spend time and pinch those that aren’t wearing green, take a gander at some of what the city has to offer.
