Poag Mahone’s, Chicago
Poag Mahone's will open be open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 16, for the celebration to end all celebrations. Just minutes from the river, six blocks from the parade and a hop away from Union Station and the Quincy brown line, stop in for a bracing breakfast before the festivities begin.
Chef Gretchen Hollen’s breakfast buffet will include all the Irish favorites from scrambled eggs to corned beef hash, sausage and hash browns for $4.95 per person. After 11 a.m., Poag’s will offer a St. Patrick’s Day menu featuring corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwiches and grass-fed burgers to soak up the day’s worth of stout and lagers.
