How can you not love an Irish pub that advertises itself with Oscar Wilde's quotation, "I can resist everything except temptation?" Or that has emblazoned Wilde's famous quote "nothing succeeds like excess" into its pub logo?

The Dubliner in Mizner Park has been open for only a year but is clearly the most happening Irish pub in town. The pub is open daily from 4 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. and is an ongoing party. There's live music, traditional Irish fare, including corned beef, shepherd's pie and fish and chips, and some not so traditional food including mcmac and cheese, irish sliders and schroom durgers. As befits an Irish pub, there are beers on tap, 70 varieties of bottled beer, wine and mixed drinks.

In honor of St. Paddy's day, the Dubliner has a full weekend celebration. On Friday and Saturday nights starting at 10 p.m. there will be live music by 5th Gear and Diesel, respectively. On Sunday Michael Patrick and the Uproot Hootenany will perform live at 7 p.m. On Monday, St. Paddy's day, there is something for everyone. Starting at noon there will be corned beef and irish banger stations. Walter Rooney will perform Irish folk music, bagpipers will play and the U2 tribute band, Someday Radio, will be rocking in the evening.

Everyone gets a chance to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day and the Dubliner is a great place to be part of the celebration. Slainte!
