St Patrick's Day is on a Monday this year.
St. Patrick’s Day is upon us once again and it’s time for one and all, regardless of genetic history, to don their green clothing and head out to the Irish bars for a pint of ale or to the Irish restaurants for some down home Irish fare … or something like that.
This report is about some of the Bronx Irish bars and restaurants that have survived the test of time, and likely a might bit more. The Irish pubs include Irish bars and restaurants from Throgs Neck, Kingsbridge, Fieldston, Bedford Park, Morris Park, Mott Haven, Norwood, Woodlawn Heights, Westchester Square, Middleton Pelham Bay [near City Island], Williamsbridge and one in Yonkers.
While St. Patrick's Day is one big party, it's important to keep in mind, that like New Years Eve, all the amateurs come out to play [it's not just the Irish who are out drinking on St. Patrick's Day]. So some measure of caution is advised and you have to be careful.
At a later date we'll add a bit of history of St. Patrick's Day.

CLOSED _ McDwyer's Pub in Norwood - St Pat's Day 2021 Bx
St Pat's Day Bars, Restaurants & Irish Pubs in the Bronx
Location. Unfortunately, in December of 2016, McDwyers Pub at 331 East 204th Street near Bainbridge, closed its doors for the last time.
Description. Eamonn McDwyer opened the bar in 1966 and kept it going 50 years. But eventually the times caught up with him. After McMahon's down the street, closed in early 2011, McDwyer's was the last Irish bar in the Norwood neighborhood.
Back in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's Irish pubs in Norwood were booming. At one time there were, according to the Norwood News, 23 bars in the area, although many were not Irish, many were. But when Ireland became a Celtic Tiger in the 1990's, many Irish workers returned home. Thus the Irish population in the neighborhood declined by thousands going from 6,000 back then to about 2,000 today.
Due to a thinning clientele and rising rents, the same issues faced by many small retailers in the city, McDwyer's was forced to close. Goodbye or as they say in Gaelic - slan.
