Los Gatos' nightlife will never be more alive with events than on Thursday. Here are five options to consider, and may the luck of the Irish be with you!

 1.  is having its annual celebration starting at 11:30 a.m. and into early Friday morning. The party includes all-you-can-eat ribs, chicken, corned beef, salads, desserts, plus Big Bill Callahan's Oyster Bar, Irish dancers, live music and the Hannegan's Home Boys Pipe Band all for just $50. 

2. If you're looking for something a little more laid back, especially if you are a major Sharks fan, will celebrate the night away while playing the Minnesota Wild starting at 7:30 p.m. "We go to Double D's for every Sharks game, because it is so fun. The food, the atmosphere and the people make the game that much more enjoyable," says Los Gatos local, Jason Frank. Enjoy food, drinks and lots of roaring Sharks fans on Thursday.
