Green Beer, Irish Stew, and Tip-Off Time: St. Patrick’s Day Kicks Off March Madness at Players Retreat
St. Patrick’s Day and March Madness landing on the same week? Now that’s a reason to celebrate at Players Retreat.
On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, we’re serving up a little Irish flavor alongside the start of college basketball’s biggest tournament. Whether you’re here for the food, the games, the drinks, or all three, PR is ready.
Irish Favorites for St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
For one day only, we’re adding a few classic Irish comfort dishes to the menu:
- Irish Lamb Stew
- Corned Beef & Cabbage
- Colcannon
These hearty favorites pair perfectly with a pint and a seat at the bar.
And yes—we’ll have green beer for those who want to celebrate the holiday in full color… and regular beer for those who prefer their pint the classic way.
Then It’s Game Time 🏀
St. Patrick’s Day also marks the start of March Madness, kicking off one of the most exciting months in college basketball.
At Players Retreat, we’re proud to be Raleigh’s college hoops headquarters. Catch every game with great food, cold drinks, and the unbeatable atmosphere that’s made PR a favorite gathering place for generations of fans. And with TVs on the patio, you can soak up the March weather while keeping an eye on every play.
From the First Four to the final buzzer, this is the place to watch every slam dunk, upset, and buzzer-beater.
