3 Cool Apps for St. Patrick’s Day
Get out your “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” pins, your wacky leprechaun hats and your green attire. March 17 marks one of the biggest party days of the year, and it’s an important date in Irish history. Let’s not forget that this holiday commemorates the death of St. Patrick, the fifth-century patron saint and national apostle of Ireland who introduced Christianity to the country. It’s said he explained the Holy Trinity with what we know as the face of St. Patrick’s Day: the shamrock.
But if you’re not overly religious, Irish or a history buff, you probably only look forward to St. Patrick’s Day because of the massive party it ensues. Whatever boat you’re in, celebrate the day with a few festive and convenient apps. Locate bars and places that serve your favorite beer (let’s hope that’s green beer!), test your trivia knowledge of the holiday and find any business you need if you’re in a big city. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from The Recapp!
Besides corned beef and cabbage, the other edible symbol of St. Patrick’s Day is unarguably beer—on no other holiday do restaurants and bars dye their beer green. While celebrating St. Patty’s Day, make finding pubs that carry your favorite brews easy.

The app gives you directions, the ability to write reviews and a variety of search tools. Quench your thirst quickly and easily with this must-have app for beer lovers. Cheers to green beer!
