Cold weather doesn't stop patrons from celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- From parades to pubs, events are underway all across the Greater Milwaukee area to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
CBS 58's Amanda Becker and Michael Schlesinger were at Leff's Lucky Town where the Trinity Irish Dancers performed earlier in the day.
And CBS 58's Duaa Israr was live at the County Clare Irish Inn & Pub in Milwaukee to get a taste of the festivities.
"I'm from a family of 11 kids," said Kevin Glynn. "A huge, Irish Catholic family. My father was 100% Irish, so we celebrate it -- St. Patrick's Day -- more than we celebrate Christmas."
At least 1,000 people came and went through County Clare by dinnertime, and the party goes all night.
Over at McBob's Pub & Grill, they're offering St. Patrick's Day-themed events all day long.
McBob's has been a staple of Milwaukee's St. Patrick's Day scene for years.
Tuesday, they have all kinds of special events planned, including performances from Irish dancers and live music all afternoon and evening.
The restaurant's owner says even on a Tuesday afternoon in the middle of a cold spell, the customers continue to show out in full force.
"It's so fun, the energy is so great. Everybody is super excited, dressed up, ready to party, have fun. It's great," said Katy Kinnert, owner of McBob's Pub & Grill.
