Corned Beef and Cabbage or NCAA March Madness on Saint Patrick's Day? Why Not Both?

Demeter’s Tavern & Sports Bar in Tarrytown will serve its famous corned beef and cabbage all day on Saint Patrick’s Day, Thursday, March 17, 2016 starting at 11 a.m. Duke vs. North Carolina tips off 45 minutes after Demeter's opens.

To help prepare and cook the traditional corned beef and cabbage, co-proprietors and brothers Stephen and Donald Demeter enlist the aid of their mom Connie every year. “The same passed-down family recipe is used every year,” Donald said.

In addition to corned beef and cabbage, a limited menu will be available with additional dishes. Reservations will be accepted for parties of six or more but otherwise it is first come, first served.

March Madness NCAA basketball game coverage will be available on Demeter’s 14 large-screen TV sets.

The bar/eatery was opened in 1947 by Frank Demeter, Sr., and his wife Elizabeth and for about 25 years, its name was Glenville Tavern. Stephen and Donald became co-proprietors in 1990. A major renovation took place in 2006.

Street parking (there are no parking meters on the street) is plentiful along Old White Plains Road.

Demeter’s Tavern & Sports Bar is located at 51 Old White Plains Road,Tarrytown, NY, 914-631-9679.
