Today’s St. Patrick’s Day deals highlights in Houston
If you’re looking for a sweet start to your holiday, make sure you’re wearing green! Krispy Kreme is giving away one FREE Green O’riginal Glazed doughnut to anyone dressed in the holiday spirit today. It’s a perfect “quick win” for families or office teams looking to kick off the morning with a bit of Irish luck without spending a dime.
For a midday toast, Moxies Restaurant is the place to be for their festive Green Tea shots. Made with Jameson Irish Whiskey and peach schnapps, it’s a refreshing way to celebrate the holiday “vibe” in a more upscale setting. If you’re near the Post Oak area, The Post Oak Hotel is also hosting a high-end “Clover Crawl” with curated signature beverages between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM.
Those craving traditional Irish fare should head to Johnny McElroy’s Irish Pub & Patio for authentic corned beef and cabbage served with a side of live bagpipes. For a “Tex-Orleans” twist, BB’s Tex-Orleans is serving 5 pounds of live boiled crawfish for $39.99 with $5 green frozen margaritas all day long.
What to Expect Today – Tuesday, March 17, 2026, in Houston
Expect localized heavy traffic near major Irish hubs like Johnny McElroy’s and the Washington Ave corridor starting around 4:00 PM. While the main downtown parade took place earlier this month, many bars will have street-side celebrations today, so keep a sharp eye out for “No Parking” signs to avoid a holiday towing headache. Using a rideshare service is highly recommended if you plan on sampling the green beer or Jameson specials!
