![_Ingleside Heights Bathroom Drug Cook Busted, Maybe More Boring Than Expected [Updated]](http://sfist.com/assets_c/2012/02/cisneros_bathroomexplosion-thumb-250x250-693209.jpg)
St. Patrick's Day Party Roundup
The city's going to be full of drunks (amateur and otherwise) tonight. We now bring you our quick guide to places where you might not have to stand in line to get a Guinness, or fend off twenty frat boys just to get from the door to the bar.
(Disclaimer: SFist makes no guarantees that the following venues will not be filled with amateur drunks and/or frat boys, nor that there will not be a line.)
It's a Tuesday, and perhaps the real heart of pseudo-Irish darkness got played out on Saturday, after the parade. But chances are all of these places are going to be lively shitshows filled with all kinds of Harp and Jameson-fueled tomfoolery. (Thank you Citysearch for a few ideas.) Our suggestions:
Danny Coyle's
668 Haight Street
A clean, new-ish, friendly establishment, and maybe less of a mad house tonight than Mad Dog in the Fog?
A-Sides
Underground SF
424 Haight Street
A drum-n-bass party for those who don't want the night to end with Mad Dog in the Fog / Danny Coyle's.
Buena Vista Cafe
2765 Hyde Street
It's the birthplace of Irish coffee but out of the way enough that maybe only hardcore Russian Hill denizens and tourists up from Fisherman's Wharf will think of this place.
Cantina SF
580 Sutter Street
Screw the green beer and go for a nice caipirinha instead. Or ask Duggan for a bright green Herb Caen.
The Plough and Stars
116 Clement Street
A nice, mellow, authentically Irish time in the Richmond featuring live music from Andrew MacNamara and the Rogues.
Durty Nelly's
2328 Irving
A well-loved pub in the Outer Sunset that should be a par-for-the-course good time.

UPDATE: Apologies about listing O'Reilly's Holy Grail... we did see that it was closed about a month ago, forgot, and proceeded to rely naively on the lately unreliable CitySearch for ideas. They have since written a new list. Thanks to commenter spysea for calling us on our shit.
