10+ Rochester Bars Locals Say Have the Best Green Beer for St. Patrick’s Day in 2026
The big day of GREEN is happening on March 17th. As 44% of us get ready to celebrate the Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day, the hunt for green beer becomes priority #1.
A few weeks ago, a new fan of Y-105FM reached out to us with this very important question.
Hey, I love your show. I just moved to Rochester a few months ago to work at Mayo Clinic and am still finding new places to check out. With St. Patrick's Day coming up, do you have a list of bars or restaurants that are serving green beer? Thanks for all your help. - Tiffany
Our team loves these questions - and while we do know the top spots locals love for pizza, burgers, and fries, we didn't have a list yet of places with green beer. We asked our fans on-air and then ventured to the Spotted in Rochester page too to ensure that our list for our new friend was full.
