Well, that may not be exactly how the legend goes, but it might as well, when Oceans 234 celebrates the traditional wearing of the green -- with an ocean view.

During the day, 234 Oceans will feature live music, food and drink

specials, and giveaways. When the sun goes down, the party really

starts, with green-bead tosses, Irish drink specials, and a live DJ from 9

p.m. to 3 a.m.

Fill up on corned beef and cabbage and shepherd's pie before getting shitfaced off Irish car bombs and

Tallumore Dew Irish whiskey shots for $5 each. Don't forget to wear your green board shorts and bikinis as

you party down with your bad mc-self.

Here's the ultimate Leprechaun surfing on a green board:
