newlenoxpatriotdaily.com dining out the new lenox patriot | March 12, 2020 | 19 Quick Bites A veritable pot-luck of the Irish on tap for the southwest suburbs Bill Jones, Managing Editor If we’re being honest — and we always are — St. Patrick’s Day celebrations might be less about the food and more about the beverages. But while singing along with the bagpipes, staring into the abyss of an empty green beer glass and trying to find a bathroom might be part and parcel for the holiday around the southwest suburbs, we would be remiss if we didn’t encourage you to enjoy being Irish for a day responsibly. And that starts with getting a good meal. Thankfully, special menu offerings for the Paddy’s celebration are as plentiful around these parts as festive atmospheres. Here are just a few of our favorites. Shamrock shindig Tom Kelly’s Chophouse and Pub, 495 Degroate Road in New Lenox Kelly Trumpey, coowner of Tom Kelly’s, has called March “their month,” and rightfully so. For the 13th year in a row, the pub is putting on its much anticipated St. Patrick’s Day Tent Party, which is to include live music on March 13 and 14. “It’s a lot of fun, because you see a lot of people that you may not see all year ’round and get to reconnect with customers,” Trumpey said. “Everyone’s in such a great mood and having fun.” Epic, a 1980s cover band, is to kick off the weekend with a performance at 8:30 p.m. Friday. Saturday’s lineup includes two bands: Honeydew Squeeze at 4:30 p.m. and Hillbilly Rockstarz at 8:30 p.m. The weekend-long event will debut a family day on Sunday for children and their families. “Parents should be able to go out and celebrate, so we try to create a day where they can come back and do it as a family,” Trumpey said. That event will include face painting, scavenger hunts, games, crafts and more. Tom Kelly’s also has a special Guinness and corned beef meal available on March 17. Reporting by Sean Hastings, Editor Corned beef and beverages Pelican Harry’s Sports Grill, 14807 S. Founders Crossing in Homer Glen While Pelican Harry’s is to have its annual St. Patrick’s Day Bash a little early on Friday, March 13, including Irish dancers performing at 9 p.m. that evening, there will still be a mixture of festive menu options to be had on St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, March 17. To eat, patrons will have their choice of a corned beef sandwich ($6.95) — a homemade specialty, served on toasted rye and with a side — or the corned beef plate ($9.95), which comes with red potatoes and carrots. Those looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a drink or two will find specials on many Irish favorites. For more information on the St. Patrick’s Day offerings, call (708) 301-5555. Reporting by Thomas Czaja, Senior Editor Reubens aren’t strictly Irish. Pizza isn’t Irish at all. But that has not stopped the melting pot that is Aurelio’s Reuben pizza from becoming a decade-plus hit for St. Patrick’s Day in Mokena. T.J. Kremer III/22nd Century Media Pizza for St. Patrick’s Day? Aurelio’s Pizza, 19836 Wolf Road, Suite 1, in Mokena While many area residents will be feasting on corned beef and cabbage, Aurelio’s in Mokena has something special on its menu for St. Patrick’s Day: the Reuben pizza. With a Thousand Island dressing base, topped with corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese and no-burn mozzarella cheese, the Reuben pizza has been a popular menu item for the past 11 years. It is offered only two times during the year: around St. Patrick’s Day and in September for Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day. The Reuben pizza goes on the menu starting Monday, March 16, and will remain only while supplies last. The pizza will also be offered at Aurelio’s Frankfort location, 9901 W. Lincoln Highway. To wash it down, try the Aurelio’s Batch 59 amber ale, made by Two Brothers Brewery. Slainte! Reporting by T.J. Kremer III, Contributing Editor A plate for traditional tastes Jameson’s Pub, 9545 W. Saint Francis Road in Frankfort Diners seeking a classic meal to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day need look no further than Jameson’s Pub, which plans to kick off the holiday with a corned beef and cabbage special ($14.95). The meal includes a house-braised brisket served with buttered cabbage, boiled red potatoes, sweet baby carrots and a side of horseradish. It will be served all day March 14, 15 and 17, Jameson’s General Manager George Gelis said. To create a party-friendly atmosphere, the restaurant plans to break out the bean bag boards and set up a tent on the patio, in addition to hiring a DJ for the evening of March 14, Gelis said. Restaurant staff members will be dressed for the occasion, as well. “I like the big crowds, and everybody enjoying a big meal and a pint of Guinness to go with it,” he said. Reporting by Nuria Mathog, Contributing Editor A free joy ride of a party Chi-Town Harley Davidson, 17801 S. LaGrange Road in Tinley Park There is no need to spend any green this weekend at Chi-Town Harley Davidson’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The event is to be held from noon-3 p.m. Saturday, March 14, and all are welcome to enjoy green beer and corned beef sliders, free of charge. According to Marketing Director Diane Tragos, in addition to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, this is an opportunity for newcomers to see what Chi- Town Harley Davidson is all about and browse the showroom. Riders also can shop for apparel, parts and accessories during the event. Guests can choose from a green Miller Lite, Coors Light, water or soda. Along with one beverage, two free sliders are offered to each attendee. Reporting by Jacquelyn Schlabach, Contributing Editor The celebration does not stop The Irish Patriot, 9875 W. 143rd St. in Orland Park By this point, you have regrettably missed the Irish Music Trolley that stopped here and six other Irish (and Irish-ish) spots in Orland Park on Saturday, March 7. Thankfully, The Irish Patriot keeps the party going. From 4-11 p.m. Saturday, March 14, that means live music by RUA at the pub. On Sunday, March 15, there will be a St. Patrick’s Day Pre-Party, featuring a DJ from noon-4 p.m. And on the big day itself — Tuesday, March 17 — RUA is to perform again live from 4-11 p.m., with bagpipers also making an appearance at some point during the festivities. So, what to eat? Irish Patriot’s menu will be limited, but guests can expect the staples. That means corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie. What about drink specials all weekend? Of course! What kind of pub do you take this for? Reporting by Bill Jones, Managing Editor
