The Erin Express was again a great day had by all! The bars were full and the beverages were flowing! Thanks to everyone that came out and all of the bar partners for hosting our crowds.

The Erin Express is back, and this year, we’re getting the kind of perfect drinking weather that makes a beer taste even better—warm weather, sunshine, and a whole lot of bar-hopping ahead. But with 30 bars, multiple check-in spots, and thousands of people trying to drink their weight in beer, the key to surviving (and thriving) on this crawl is having a solid game plan.

Philadelphia, raise your pint glasses and thank the beer gods, because this Saturday’s Erin Express is serving up 70 degrees, sunshine, and ice-cold drafts—all with a side of outdoor drinking. That’s right, this year’s crawl isn’t just about keeping your Guinness count up, it’s also the unofficial kickoff to patio season.

Here's your big update for Erin Express! We have now confirmed our 30 bar partners for this Saturday's Erin Express with some notable additions for 2025 including Uptown Beer Garden’s first opening day of the year!

If you think the Erin Express is all about crowded Irish pubs and traditional pints of Guinness, we’ve got news for you. Sure, we love a good Irish pub as much as the next person, but sometimes you’ve got to mix it up. This St. Patrick’s Day, check out these six unexpected places along the Erin Express route – you’ll be glad you did.

St. Patrick’s Day is creeping up fast, and if you’re gearing up for Philly’s illustrious Erin Express Bar Crawl, you need a game plan. Bar crawls are a blast, but trust me—if you don’t pace yourself, you’ll be the one asking strangers for a piggyback ride by noon. Here’s how to keep the party going without crashing and burning.

Look, St. Patrick’s Day in Philadelphia is essentially a marathon of green beer, Tullamore Dew, and convincing yourself that Guinness is a food group. But between cover charges, overpriced drinks, and that inevitable 2 AM cheesesteak run, it’s way too easy to wake up the next day with a financial hangover on top of the real one.

Good news? You don’t have to be rich to rage. Here’s how to have an incredible St. Paddy’s Day in Philadelphia without your bank account hating you the next morning.

When St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, Philadelphia goes all in. It’s kind of like the Super Bowl of drinking holidays—except with more green, way less coordination, and absolutely zero personal space in any bar within city limits. Walking down any street and you’ll find bars serving up Guinness like it’s water and you’ll hear Dropkick Murphys at least 20 times before midnight. Here’s where to drink in Philadelphia this St. Paddy’s Day.
