St. Paddy’s Day minus the Lynch sisters

This year marks Lynches Pub & Grub’s first St. Patrick’s Day after owners Ethna and Chris Lynch retired.

The restaurant, however, will be keeping all its former traditions on the March 17 holiday.

“It’s going to be pretty much the same as last year and the year before,” owner Jason Burns said. “We have the bagpipers and the Irish dancers all the same.”

The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to midnight or later.

The Lynch sisters will be enjoying St. Patrick’s Day in the Bahamas.
