St. Patrick's Day Green Beer

2. Drink a Green Beer with ILAC at The Raq (19+)

We selected one of the best bars in Toronto to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day together! Join us at The Raq (739 Queen Street West) for an evening of drinks, food, billiards, dance moves, and more!

What is awesome? Free entrance before 10:00 pm for ILAC students and free pool tables are available from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Also, enjoy the special drink: Green Beer! In honour of the Irish tradition, it is common to drink beer tinted green as shamrock and toasting to St. Patrick for good luck. There is no best reason to cheer. Long life to you!

Don’t forget to wear something green!
