Social Kitchen is doing a twist on spinach dip with Kerrygold Dubliner cheese, white beans, rosemary, and spinach flour, accompanied by tortilla chips for $10. You can also get corned beef and cabbage and, of course, beer aplenty.

The infamous Slocombe St. Patrick's sundae, a combination of Guinness ice cream, Bailey's-tinged marshmallow fluff, and Lucky Charms, is available today at both of their locations. (Pot of gold sold separately.)

The Trappist

Taco Tuesday meets St. Patrick's at The Trappist tonight, with corned beef smoked at sister restaurant Perdition Smokehouse and whipped into taco form by the wizards at neighboring Mexican spot Tamarindo. They also promise "no green beer" (but plenty of specialty Belgian brews).

The Half Orange

In honor of the holiday, Jay Porter's Fruitvale beer-and-snack spot is shaking up its plancha buns (Chinese bao steamed on a plancha) by offering a reuben edition. It's a much more fun way to get your corned beef than boring old cabbage.
