This post report is a tad bit delayed because we just woke up from the party that got kicked off at Lizard Lounge on Saint Patrick’s Day. The patron saint of green beer and pinching seems to have blessed The Lounge with another great time spent lounging to Irish music, ping ponging and drinking!

Paddy Schutte and Tim Debruine played live Irish music as folks came in to appreciate their northerly acoustical talents. There’s nothin’ like a good fiddler to get the toes a tappin’. A sweet four-leaf clover breeze swept through the store announcing that spring is here in Portland – everything is soooo green!

The good Irish vibrations were flowing and so was the beer and wine, provided by our friends at the BridgePort Brewing Company and the Cork Wine Shop for both Saturday and Sunday (come on folks, it was Saint Patrick’s Day after all).

On Sunday, rosy-cheeked folks were warmed up and ready to dive into the ping-pong tournament on Sunday. Dueling tables were set up so we could get through all 28 players. It seemed like all 28 players brought their own peanut gallery to cheer and jeer. The music and laughter also brought people in from the street to watch the matches. DJ Keys made the atmosphere that much more festive. The crowd grew and grew through the day until there was a hug pack of fans surrounding the finals that evening. Good times with beer pong.

Hope you all had a great Saint Patty’s Day!
