Instead, the Emerald Isle celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a rich tradition of hearty, comforting dishes enjoyed across the country. This St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, forget the CB&C and let Lost Colony Tavern whisk you away to the lush green moors of Ireland with an exclusive four-course Taste of the Beach dining experience, featuring authentic Irish dishes designed exactly as they’re enjoyed in Ireland.
