The Irish Drinking Team was born in 2005 from a simple, legendary napkin sketch in a remote Spokane bar—where a group of friends turned St. Patrick's Day into an all-day pub crawl legend. What started as a local crew hitting downtown spots with killer specials, games, swag, and non-stop craic quickly exploded into something bigger: hundreds (now often 800+!) of green-clad teammates conquering Spokane every March, complete with survival maps, exclusive drink deals, and the kind of stories that get retold for years.

Over nearly two decades, the Team has grown far beyond Eastern Washington. Chapters have popped up in places like Nashville and Kelowna, BC, with plans to spread the chaos nationwide—proving that you don't need to be in Spokane (or even Irish) to join the squad. Honorary members rock the iconic jerseys, tees, and hoodies everywhere from backyard BBQs to bars across the country, turning any gathering into an instant Irish Drinking Team takeover.

Today, it's more than a crawl—it's a movement of good vibes, zero judgment, and epic camaraderie. Whether you're local or from anywhere else, grab the gear, rally your crew, and become part of the legend. The Team is growing every year... your city could be next. Sláinte! Who's ready to rep the squad?
