It turns out your neighborhood Irish pub might not be the only place to eat and drink on St. Patrick’s Day as national chain restaurants trended last year as the top spots according to Lyft riders. Last year, not only did St. Patrick’s Day party goers taking a Lyft grab drinks and food at The Cheesecake Factory, they also hit up Applebee’s® Neighborhood Grill & Bar, TGI Fridays℠ and more.

Pubcrawlers also hopped in their ride with friends and went to a few local favorites like Los Angeles’ The Abbey, DC’s Busboy & Poets and San Francisco’s Souvla. That’s why for St. Patrick’s Day 2018, Lyft’s got the ultimate guide to of the most popular spots to drink (and maybe eat), with top eateries and bars in Chicago, New York, Miami, Boston and more.
