Cabaret is Fort Madison's St. Patty's Day

There are holidays, and then there’s St. Patrick’s Day at Horan's Cabaret.
Let’s be clear, the Irish spirit lives at Horan’s all year long. But when March rolls around and St. Patrick’s Day hits the calendar, they turn the volume all the way up. Fort Madison goes bright green and proudly leans into its Irish side. The laughter gets louder, the party lasts longer, and suddenly everyone swears they’re just a little bit Irish.
If you’ve never experienced it, prepare yourself. Indulge in their famous corned beef dinners, piled high and steaming hot, and crazy delicious Reubens that require both hands and at least three napkins. Irish whiskey poured smooth, Guinness flowing steady, and just the right amount of good-natured shenanigans to keep things interesting.
The Cabaret’s St. Patrick’s Day clock is ticking and the countdown is on! Locals know to get there early because the place fills up fast. The laughter spills out the doors, old friends reconnect and new friends are made. Wear your green. break out the kilts if you have them or buy one of the new Cabaret shirts to celebrate in style.
In Fort Madison, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just a holiday, it’s a tradition served with corned beef and a whole lot of Irish spirit. Sláinte!
