Downtown vs. Dogtown Neighborhood Restaurant Guide and St. Patrick's Day Poll

Dogtown
The Dogtown parade starts Sunday at 12:30 p.m. and proceeds along Tamm Avenue from Oakland to Manchester. Dogtown doesn't have as many bars as downtown, but it does have the advantage of being an actual Irish neighborhood by heritage, so pubs abound.

Here are our top five St. Patrick's Day hangouts in Dogtown:

Sarah Rusnak
Pat's Bar and Grill
(6400 Oakland Avenue; 314-647-6553)
Pat's opens at 6 a.m. on St. Patrick's day and offers $5 breakfast plates. The outdoor party tent opens at 9, and seeing as how the parade starts there, it's a great place to see the floats, do some cheering, then get back to the real reason you came to Dogtown: drinking.

Nora's
(1136 Tamm Avenue; 314-645-2706)
Nora's won't be offering food from its regular menu on St. Patrick's Day. But who needs food, right? Nora's will be closed, but the café'll have a booth set up out front stocked with food and drinks for sale.

Latitude 26°
(6407 Clayton Avenue; 314-932-5600)
OK, so it's a Tex-Mex restaurant, which isn't anything like an Irish pub, save for one similaritiy -- the Mexicans and the Irish both love a good drink. If you're tired of whiskey and Guinness, you might be crazy, but Latitude 26° can help. The bar offers a variety of tequilas and Mexican beers to quench your thirst.

Seamus McDaniel's patio.
Seamus McDaniel's
(1208 Tamm Avenue; 314-645-6337)
Normally closed on Sundays, Seamus McDaniel's is opening extra-early for the St. Patrick's Day celebration this year. The bar opens at 8 a.m., complete with a breakfast buffet. At lunch there''ll be Irish favorites like corned beef sandwiches. And, of course, beer. The outdoor patio closes at 6 p.m., the indoor bar at 8.

Mike Talayna's Juke Box Restaurant
(1115 Hampton Avenue; 314-647-7600)
This nondescript little edifice on Hampton doesn't look the part, but inside there are disco balls galore, not to mention mirrored walls and a glitter-inlaid bar top. The drinks aren't the cheapest in town, but the pours are generous enough to tempt you into participating in Talayna's stock in trade: karaoke. For tonight we recommend something by U2, Enya or Flogging Molly (all Irish). On Sunday they open at 4 p.m. and close at midnight, so party hard, friends.
