Note: The pub crawls are still on even with the postponement of the parade.
I've done pub crawls in Hartford before and they can be a lot of fun. This year there are three crawls, on Fri Sat and Tues. You pay $8 and get to hop around the city with drink specials specific for the crawl. This obviously is more a 20's activity but it's a great time if you have the time.
I'll add more info and the pub crawl map when it's released but for now here is the Courants description: "Downtown Hartford gives you every chance to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, with three Irish pub crawls, Friday, Saturday and Tuesday, March 13, 14 and 17. Participating venues include Black Bear Saloon, The Russell, Pyre, Angry Bull Saloon, and others offering drink specials.
Registration the day of the crawl on March 13 and 17 is from 5 to 10 p.m., and on March 14 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., at Black Bear Saloon, 187 Allyn St. All three crawls end at 2 a.m. A three-day all-access pass is $20 online. Info, tickets and online registration at pubcrawls.com."
