St. Patrick's Day is upon us!! We're partying in style for Happy Hour this Friday night, 3/17 at 5:30pm with a split party for families and adults. Market Café will serve complimentary food by the bite at 6pm, and guests are welcome with standard guest fees. 

Family Happy Hour on the indoor field will ring in a March Madness celebration. See if you have what it takes to make the game-winning basketball shot... all while your chair is twisting and turning on the Buzzer Beater Benchwarmer mechanical inflatable! It's the first time the Club has featured this attraction, so it's sure to be a hit. 

In the adult-only Staircase Lounge, the traditional Celtic band, Ceol Mhor will join us for an authentic St. Patrick's Day sound at 6pm! But they're not just another Irish band. They play the hammered dulcimer, flute, tin-whistle, banjo, mandolin, English concertina, bodhran and spoons, and vary their repertoire with reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas and airs, with floating vocals added to the mix. It's quite the experience! Visit their website to learn more about the band, and come check them out live!

Sidekix Saucy Asian Grill returns to the Club next week for the March Tasting event! Come to the Staircase Lounge on Tuesday, 3/21 from 6pm-8pm for free food by the bite, and live music by Dave Hawkins. Dave has 14 recording releases and a broad fan base of folk and Celtic music, and will take the stage at 6pm - visit his website fore a preview.
