Five bars at The Banks want you to feel the luck of the Irish.

Following their sold-out espresso martini tasting event last week, the Cincinnati Coffee Festival is bringing another caffeine fueled event to the downtown area on Friday, March 13.

The organization’s Irish Coffee Tasting event will take place across five locations—as opposed to just three from the espresso martini event.

Guests can pay $25 to get a free classic or specialty Irish coffee at Holy Grail, Moerlein Lager House, Killer Queen, The Park and Jefferson Social, with special discounts on food and other Irish-themed cocktails at each stop.

The event arrives just in time for the upcoming 58th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade the day after, on Saturday, March 14.

Proceeds from the tasting benefit the Ohio River Foundation, supporting its work to protect and restore the Ohio River watershed, because you can’t make a great cup of coffee—or in this case, an Irish Coffee—without great water.
