Kelly's Bleachers opens before sunrise for St. Patrick's Day breakfast and celebration

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It's become a tradition for many people around Milwaukee to wake up early and enjoy a breakfast and green beer on St. Patrick's Day. 

The first 100 people at Kelly's Bleachers got a free shirt on Monday, March 17. Doors opened at 6 a.m. and a free breakfast was served starting at 7 a.m. 

For people like Jim Paro, it's a tradition that started years ago at the old Derry's Pub on Bluemound. 

"We do this every year, try to. And we haven't missed many," said Paro.

The celebration at Kelly's Bleachers will last into the night with Irish dancers, a DJ, giveaways and a traditional Irish menu.
