Patch Pick: Shamrock Irish Pub’s Outdoor Seating Puts You Right in Downtown

So even though it’s not St. Patrick’s Day, it’s my lucky day that I get to do the research to find the best bars with outdoor seating.

And it’s your lucky day too because one of those bars is in Utica. The great outdoor patio that overlooks Utica’s charming downtown area is why this pub is our pick of the day.

So if you want to swig a beer, munch on some great Irish fare and enjoy some pub spirits, Shamrock’s outdoor brick patio is the way to go. With downtown Utica and its happenings as a scenic backdrop, the Shamrock Irish Pub has been offering a place to relax and chat since 1935.

The pub is open on weekdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. Call 586-731-6886 for additional information. To check out yesterday’s Patch Pick for the best outdoor bars, click
