Baramor in Newton will be running “pinch-free” beverage specials all day during their regular business hours on the 17th. Not sure what a “pinch-free” beverage is? Well, it’s an old Irish habit of pinching people who aren’t wearing green on St. Paddy’s Day! So, if you’re not looking to be pinched and are in need of something green, Baramor definitely has you covered with their “pinch-free” offerings of a green draft lager and a Midori Sour drink special ($12) that is made up of Midori, Jameson Irish Whiskey, lemon and sprite. YUM! Dig into their delicious scratch kitchen cooking in this warm and cozy American Pub.

Beer isn’t for everyone and that is totally fine, for anyone interested in a cocktail you have to try their own Maltini malted beverages on draft that go for $7.50 for 6 oz pour. (The flavors are making my mouth water, check them out here under the “Brews On Tap” button!) Ever try a drink and wish you could have it at home but know it likely won’t turn out the same, I know I have.
