More Saturday Shenanigans and St. Paddy’s Prep

Consider this your green light to start the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations a few days early. If you aren’t quite ready to commit to a Tuesday night bender next week, Smash Social Club has you covered. They are kicking off the festivities early on Saturday, March 14, 2026, transforming their Glenwood South space into a hub for Irish-inspired sips and festive bites. It’s the perfect excuse to gather the crew, break out the emerald attire, and enjoy a midday celebration in the heart of downtown.

The menu leans hard into the theme, with $6 Jameson Orange Jello shots and $10 Irish Car Bombs to keep the energy high. If you need a solid base before the shenanigans escalate, they’re serving up shareable burger cups (two for $8), cornbread bites, and beignets. Whether you’re a DTR regular or just looking for a high-energy spot to toast to the holiday, Smash is the move.

📍 500 Glenwood Ave #100, Raleigh, NC 27603
📅 Saturday, March 14, 2026 | 12 p.m.
💰 Free admission; food and drink specials vary

Between the jello shots and the burger cups, you’re basically guaranteed a pot of gold at the end of this Glenwood rainbow. Just remember: green beer is a marathon, not a sprint.
