MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- In the sea of green and Guinness, a good time is guaranteed.

At County Clare Irish Inn and Pub, the St. Patrick's Day celebration is in full swing. 

“You know, it’s such a vibe, it’s such a fanatic vibe. Everybody’s in a fantastic mood to celebrate and we’re hoping to do this again tomorrow," said County Clare Social Media Manager Lauren Sutton. 

With the flowing drinks, there's also a couple of reminders. 

“I plan to likely take a rideshare," said partygoer Teri Zeilhopher. “Just have a couple of drinks and hang out with some friends.”

On Saturday night, Molson Coors is partnering with MCTS to make sure people have a way to get home. From 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., free rides will be available across Milwaukee. MCTS has a free app called WisGo. People can type in the location of where they want to be dropped off. The app will direct riders to the nearest bus service that will take them to their destination. 

"Otherwise, we encourage Uber, Lyft. The Hop is completely free, the stop is just a block north of us," said Sutton.

With the day might be about the luck of the Irish, Sutton says don't try your luck behind the wheel. 

“We’re definitely telling everyone we can get home safe. We want everyone to come back, and you know, just be okay and be able to visit us again," she said.
