Get Your Green On: Fairfax Pubs Edition

Looking for a local place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a green beer (or two... or three)? Here are five places to get your Irish on.

1. Fast Eddie's Billiard Cafe

While Fast Eddie's probably isn't the first place you would think of for St. Patrick's Day, it is definitely a great place to hang out and let loose. If you are looking to go out but keep things low key, Eddie's is ideal. Thursday is Ladies' Night, which means there are great drink specials, and free pool from 8 to close. Thursday is also the day for Texas Hold 'Em Tournaments, so don't miss out.
