It all started over 30 years ago by William Pawliczek of Cavanaugh's and Paul Ryan, Sr. of Smokey Joe's. The tradition continues every year around St. Patrick’s Day.
Some of Philadelphia’s Best Irish watering holes take part in the massive event. See the full list and map below.
A fleet of buses are making their rounds to ALL locations throughout the day. Go to a bar and wait for the bus, they’ll be coming every 15 minutes from 12pm - 6pm.
There is no cost, no tickets, no reservations, no bracelets and no cover charge while busses are running! Just show up and jump aboard the Erin Express!
