ORLANDO, Fla. — St. Patrick’s Day weekend is here and revelers are already flocking to the Lucky Leprechaun Irish Pub.

1. Touted as “the most authentic Irish party in Orlando,” the Lucky Leprechaun is throwing a huge bash. Authentic accents are prevalent, including from Sarah Costello. She is the founder of the Sarah Costello Irish Dance Academy and her dancers are performing Monday night, March 17, 2025 at 7 p.m. “Once you come in here [at Lucky Leprechaun], you literally feel like you’re back in Ireland,” she said. “You don’t have to be an Irish dancer. Everybody can get up and learn. Everybody can join in!”

2. Moire McKibbin is another Lucky’s regular. “It’s warm, and it’s homey,” she smiled. “St. Patrick is our Patron Saint and we celebrate for three weeks. We celebrate in America for 3 weeks, big time!”
