February 24, 2025 | Joyce Smith
St. Patrick’s Day-themed Shenanigans is now open in downtown Lee’s Summit. But just until March 23.
The owners of Smoke Brewing Company at 209 S.E. Main St. decked out the barbecue restaurant and brewery in floor-to-ceiling St. Paddy’s decor, and have food and drink specials to match.
It’s a way to make St. Patrick’s Day last a little longer past the official March 17 calendar holiday, said Smoke Brewing co-owner Josh Edwards.
Cocktails include the Shamrock Martini, Irish Wake, Dublin Mule, the Pot O’ Gold (with Jameson, honey, lemon and gold glitter) and the Lucky Charms Martini. It also has mocktails such as the Coconut Lime Spritzer, Cherry-Lime Mock-Mule and the Sunday in Dublin.
Menu specials include a new Reuben sandwich, Reuben Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Lucky Charms Fritters.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturdays; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays (including Sunday, March 9, for the Downtown Lee’s Summit Emerald Isle Pub Crawl.”
