If you're looking to actually find a table and enjoy a pint in peace on the 17th, you'll want to move away from Temple Bar if you're in Dublin, where most places will be packed (and most prices will be inflated). The Smithfield area is a great place to head to avoid the crowds, where you can check out live music at The Cobblestone, visit the Jameson Whiskey Distillery, or explore Ireland's oldest pub, The Brazen Head.
