O'Donovan's Irish Pub | Minneapolis
This is another great pit stop when you’re en route with the Minneapolis St. Patrick's Day parade. A fascinating fact about this pub is that it’s the first ever Irish pub in Minnesota that was built in Ireland.

The Liffey | St. Paul
‘Liffey’, which means ‘life’ in Irish, is also a river that runs through the center of Dublin.

Located just across the street from the Xcel Energy Center and St. Paul RiverCenter.
