The Luck Of The Greeks?

Go green in Greece! Of course, St. Patrick was obviously Irish, and never lost his love of his Emerald isle for the ones in Greece, but there is a large Greek-Irish community in Greece, as well as Irish pubs all round several cities in Greece. Celebrations are imminent.

But what do you really need for a proper St. Patty's day celebration? Beer. Try FIX1864 Greek beer - (the original, royal beer of Greece since 1864!) you can rest easy that there will be some pinching, good luck, and all the rest - in Greece - as there is here in the U.S.

Can't get to Athens? If you wanted to try the Greek beer and enjoy some Greek cuisine on St. Patty's day - visit any of our Ziziki's restaurant locations or pop in to Ziziki's Taverna in Addison. Of course, if you want to have ANY beer or even wine - our night scene is wonderful at all locations, with a fully stocked bar and wine list.

So - enjoy the night, wear your green, and toast away! In Greece, the Irish version of "Cheers", "Slainte" is acctually translated a bit - to "Yasou!" or "Yamas!"

We'll just keep it simple here - and say, "OPA!"

Going Green and Going GREEK For St. Patty's Day

March 17th is well known around the world as St. Patrick's Day.  Ireland is well-represented by pubs and bars all across Greece, with with Crete being the most popular with those from Ireland and visitors from all over the world. There are over 20 Irish themed pubs and bars on Crete alone.

And certainly - in Greece, where there's always a reason to celebrate - you can imagine that Greeks take part in the enjoyment of the green beer - or - the green beer BOTTLE.

Mythos Beer is one of the most popular bee - and it comes in a bright green bottle.

But instead of flying to Athens for some special beer - why not head over to one of our three Ziziki's locations or Ziziki's Taverna in Addison for a festive atmosphere, spirits and scrumptious mezzes?

So go green ...and go Greek!

Slainte!
