Happy St. Patrick's Day!

After work today, Joe and I decided to stop at Claddagh Irish Pub for a pint on the way home to celebrate Joe's ancestors. However, when we got to the South Side Works where the pub is located, we noticed that the construction on the Hofbrauhaus was finally done and it was open! German beer and Bratwurst - Joe couldn't resist! Forget his heritage - we will celebrate my german ancestry instead! We got seats at the bar and enjoyed a liter (a huge mug!) of beer as well as some German sausages and watched the after-work crowd fill up the restaurant/bar.
