  Definitely a locals place! Great people watching. Okay... so this guy comes in and sits down at the bar. Without a word spoken- the bartender grabs a can of suds from the frig, puts a paper napkin in a Styrofoam cup, and places these items in front of the new arrival. I watch. I don't see him take a sip for 20 minutes. Then the beer is finished in, I swear, two gulps. I leave 20 minutes later. And he has never touched that damn napkin or Styrofoam cup.

  It's hard to screw up a BLT, but this place managed.  It was dripping with mayo, just completely smothered in it, and the lettuce was chopped into tiny pieces and fell out of the bread.  A flavorless mess.
  
  My companion, a friend who was visiting from out of town, orderd fish & chips.  They were awful!  As if they had been dumped out of a an industrial frozen box.  Flavorless, dry, hard.  
  
  I was so embarrassed I brought my friend to this place.  Shabby looking and smells musty on top of it.  I moved to Longview 3 years ago from Portland, and I have learned something valuable.  NEVER trust a culinary recommendation from anyone who was born and raised in Longview.  They simply do not know what good food is!

  They have the best fried oysters!!! The staff was very friendly & it's a laid back atmosphere.

  I've NEVER been disappointed with their food. Everything I have ordered has been delicious. It is a laid back atmosphere, more of a locals bar (they now serve hard alcohol). A good place to come watch football games on Sundays, they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and have specials during the week.

  We stopped in Longview on a bike ride from Seattle to Portland.  It was late and the dinner choices were limited.  We were initially skeptical about Shamrock (and their bud light sign in the window) but we were pleasantly surprised once we walked in
  
  Good beer - Mac n Jack, Manny's, Deschutes Seasonal, Ninkasi, to name a few
  
  Decent food.  We got there so late that the grill was closed and they could only make fried foods =)  Their tater tots were amazing!  Super hot and fresh, and tasty.  Chicken wings were also great.  Lightly battered, super fresh and juicy.  Not very spicy at all.  Nachos were good, too.  Fish n chips were ok.
  
  Big space.  They had a few pool tables, and a lot of bar space and a lot of tables for seating, too.  It was a Saturday night and the place was almost empty, but the service was good, servers were nice...overall very pleasantly surprised.  I'd definitely go back there again.

  This is a locals tavern. Went to Bob's sporting during an out of town hunting trip and stopped in to get out of the rain and watch a football game. The place is sports oriented, pretty good food at  very  reasonable prices and good cold beer. Like any local place....if you are friendly - the regulars will reciprocate. Especially enjoyed the staff as the service was friendly and prompt. Large crowd (I hear) for Monday Night Taco's (2/1.00). I would definetly stop there again.
