"If you’re feeling ambitious this St. Patrick’s Day, you could theoretically spend the entire afternoon at Ybor City’s iconic pirate-themed bar, Gaspar’s Grotto. It’s the odd Ybor watering hole that’s open for breakfast, so you can start your day with a three-egg omelet then move on to the usual green beer and Irish whiskey. Explore Gaspar’s four distinct bars, both inside and out, fueling up with its classic Cuban sandwich at some point in the afternoon. As night falls, head outside and catch a live band, as the spirit of Gasparilla lives in this bar all year long." - Matthew Meltzer
