"Opened in 1974, the Dubliner is the patriarch of D.C.’s Irish bar community and celebrates a major 50-year milestone this year. Daily Irish whiskey tastings and live music starting Monday, March 11 commemorates the occasion, and its epic Saint Patrick’s Day party prices morning Guinness pours by its age (they’re 50 cents this year from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.). There’s also live music on two stages all day, with an Irish menu starting at 11 a.m. The reliable hangout also sports a recently enclosed sidewalk cafe." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
