Make no mistake, Egan & Son's in Montclair is the place to be this St. Patrick's Day!

Egan's will be opening their doors early this year at 10 am. At 1 pm, the Beer Garden Tent, which will occupy most of the parking lot in the rear of Egan's, will be filled with traditional Irish food like Corned Beef, Irish pasties, and potato leek soup. There will also be an Oyser Bar feauturing Blue Point oysters (6 for $15), in addition to U-12 Shrimp (4 for $12), and Cherry Stone clams (6 for $10). Hamburgers and hot dogs will also be available.

The tent will be cash only; the regular menu will be available indoors at Halcyon and Egan's, and Halcyon will open for dinner at 4. See the special dinner menu below:

What's a party without music? There will also be Irish Dancers and bag pipers throughout the day, in addition to Blarney Stew, and a DJ during the later hours.

Families with children of all ages are welcomed to get jiggy with the Egan crew. Sharon suggests riding a bike or walking, as parking may be limited.
