Shenanigan's Old English Pub

While I try to lower my expectations when in Reno, I have a preconceived notion of what an English pub experience should consist of. Shenanigans hits about half of these expectations: interior and the beer are solid; all else is sub-standard including the food.

The location in a strip mall is definitely off-putting; however, once inside you are able to settle in and forget about the exterior. Beer selection was good and I liked their little steins. The food, though, was pretty awful. We stuck to basics for apps... kept it simple. The chicken wings were tough - hard, actually - with a mediocre sauce. The potato skins bland, overcooked and lame. The onion rings were also a bit overbooked but were the best app we had.

I'm locking in at 2-stars since we went there really to grab a pub bite; however, if I was just in the mood for just a beer... I would have given it 3.

Everything you would want. Good selection of beers. Great Burgers. Perfect atmosphere.  The bartender is also the waitress and she is awesome.

Nice cozy spot.  Lots of beers on tap! Plenty of TV's and good PA system for games.
