St Patrick’s Day is comin’ round again, and I’ll tell ye somethin’ — there’s a certain kind of night that only happens when the calendar turns to 17 March. The air changes. People walk in a little lighter. Strangers start callin’ each other “mate” after the first round. And the stories… ah the stories come out like they’ve been waitin’ all year for the chance.

Now, I grew up hearin’ the old ones talk about St Paddy like he was part saint, part storm, part miracle. My da used to say the man didn’t only chase the snakes out — he chased the misery out too. And whether you believe that or not, there’s no denyin’ what the day does to people. It pulls them together. It turns a quiet corner into a full-blown session of laughter. And it has a habit of runnin’ later than anyone planned — right up till the cows come home, as the saying goes.

So this year, we’re doin’ it proper at Invergordon Bar, tucked away in the heart of Docklands, Melbourne — a Scottish haven, aye, but on St Patrick’s Day we’ve a soft spot for the Irish carry-on too. Whether you’re a born-and-bred Celt or just Irish for the day, bring your mates, wear a bit of green, and settle in — because we’re makin’ St Patrick’s Day 2026 one to remember.

A Pint of the Emerald Isle (and a wee drop of courage)

There’s no point pretendin’ — Guinness is the main character on St Patrick’s Day. The big creamy pint, the slow pour, the first sip that makes you exhale like life’s finally back in order. We’ll have plenty of Guinness on the go, and we’ll be keeping Kilkenny ready for the smooth-pint crowd too.

Not a stout drinker? No bother. Magners Apple Cider will be cold, crisp, and ready to fly out of the fridge faster than a lad who swore he was only stayin’ for one. And if you’re after a proper toast — the kind you make with eye contact and intention — we’ll have the Jameson well stocked, waiting for the “sláinte” moments.

No live music… but the craic is welcome through the door

Let’s be clear: we won’t be running live music — no stage, no band, no set times. But here’s the thing about St Patrick’s Day: the best music was never “booked” in the first place. It starts because someone felt like it.

So if you’ve got a fiddle, a tin whistle, a bodhrán, a guitar, or any other instrument that belongs in a pub when the mood is right — bring it along. If the spirit takes ye and the room’s feelin’ it, you’re more than welcome to kick the craic into gear the old-fashioned way: a tune, a chorus, a table tap, and a room full of people grinnin’ like they’ve known each other for years.

Docklands makes it easy — and the night makes it worth it

Before or after the celebrations, you’ve got Docklands at your feet — Marvel Stadium, O’Brien Icehouse, the waterfront, the whole lot. Getting here’s easy too, with access via the free trams along Docklands Drive & Bourke Street or the City Circle Tram Route. If you’re driving, you’ve got handy parking options nearby including The District Docklands East & West Car Parks.

A warm welcome — and you can bring a feed

Invergordon isn’t just a place to drink — it’s a place to belong. It’s the kind of bar where you can walk in not knowin’ a soul, and leave with plans for next week. So come in, settle down, and make yourself at home.

And aye — BYO takeaway is welcome, so feel free to grab something from local favourites like Renzo’s Bar or Fish N Chips on the Docks, and bring it in to enjoy alongside our snack offerings. No fuss, no carry-on — just good food, good pints, and good company.

Make St Patrick’s 2026 a proper one

So mark it in the calendar — 17 March 2026 — and don’t be the poor divil scrollin’ through photos the next day thinkin’ “I should’ve gone.” Swing by Invergordon Bar for a taste of home, a heap of laughs, and the kind of St Patrick’s Day that feels real.
