If you didn't get your fill of beer on St. Patrick's Day, head over to the Schlafly Tap Room this weekend for the annual Stout & Oyster Festival. The restaurant will be serving up more than 25,000 oysters on Friday and Saturday, along with Irish, oatmeal and coffee stouts. Another highlight of the event, guest shuckers from the East and West Coasts will be on hand to demonstrate their oyster shucking skills.

Okay basketball fans, it's time for March Madness. The Missouri Tigers are back in the tournament this year. They play their first game Friday afternoon against Clemson. Tipoff is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. If you want to watch the game with other Mizzou fans, the local alumni association is hosting a gathering at the Corner Pub & Grill at 13645 Big Bend in Kirkwood. There are also plenty of other places to catch the game. Here's my list of top sports bars in the St. Louis area. Go Tigers!

St. Louis is a great place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We've got two parades, plus plenty of Irish pubs and restaurants offering live music, Irish food and more. Here are some of the celebrations I recommend:

Tigin Irish Pub - On March 13, Tigin is hosting a Premier Tent Party before, during and after the Downtown Parade. Live music starts at noon and features Jason Gordo, Brendan Loughrey and The Rescue. Then on March 17, the celebration begins at 7 a.m., with Kegs and Eggs, followed by a full day of Irish food, beer and music. Tigin is located at 333 Washington Avenue in Downtown St. Louis.

McGurk's Irish Pub - You can always hear live Irish music at McGurk's, but it's still a great place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. This year on March 17, there's music from Eugene Quinn, Colm Keane, Ray Dempsey, Kevin Buckley and Ian Walsh. McGurk's is located at 1200 Russell Boulevard in Soulard.
