The legendary O’Shea’s beer garden is back just in time for St. Patrick’s Day
After two bleak years with no Paddy’s Day celebrations, one of Manchester’s most iconic Irish venues has unveiled plans for a huge two-week long Irish festival.
O’Shea’s will be ending its two-year celebratory drought and welcoming in St. Patrick’s Day in style with music, dancing, cocktails, good food and, of course, plenty of pints of Guinness.
As well as welcoming guests back up onto its legendary rooftop beer garden, it will also be launching its brand new indoor venue, which has been beautifully re-designed and draped in the colours of the Emerald Isle.

Paul Mackey, co-owner of O’Sheas, said: “Once again this is for the people and for the city. We celebrate a return for the long awaited St Patrick’s Day celebration and we promise to fit that two year wait into a fun packed two weeks.
“The beers are cold and the welcome is warm. We have missed you all dearly and we can’t wait to see you at the festival!”

O’Shea’s
O’Shea’s has held a prominent legacy in the city since it opened back in 1994, and has built a reputation for pouring some of the best Guinness outside of Ireland.
The new site at Piccadilly is bound to encapsulate even more of the true Irish tradition of downing pints of delicious stout, gobby, guitar-led live music and loads of laughs.
Fancy it? The festival will kick off on St Patrick’s Day, March 17th. Get yourself a table booked here.
