If you’re in the mood for high-voltage rock music to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, you must make it to American Dream / Hangout. You can be sure memories will be made at one of the most chill live music venues in the city.
The rock ‘n’ roll cover band Rock Sinatra will be headlining, and it will be kicking out jams that are at once danceable and head-banging. The special guest will be Pauzed, a three-piece metal outfit started back in the day whose return to the stage is highly anticipated.
It’s recommended that you wear green and prepare yourself for drink specials all night. Moreover, there is no cover charge, and reserved tables are available for those who wish to stay classy whilst celebrating.
