I had a really great time when I was there 3 years ago. Â Over the last weekend I got over priced watered down drinks and a bunch of overly loud shitty music. Â The karaoke was ok. Â There were some hits and misses. Â Gal was quick with orders but she didn't know the drinks were awful. Â Hard to screw up a whisky sour but somehow they did.
Review Source:It's a bar--in a mall. Â Really, that should tell you everything you need to know about it. Â Shenanigan's easily fails as both a restaurant and a bar. Â I've been there once on a Friday night and once during the day on a Saturday and both times left unimpressed. Â I've eaten there once, and both my meal and the wait service were below average. Â The one evening we went for a friend's birthday and I found the overall atmosphere to be generic and boring. Â First of all, the name and sign imply Irish Pub, but the decor is the typical memorabilia of a sports bar. In actuality, it is neither one, and just gives off a feeling that you've been in this kind of place a million times and never really enjoyed yourself. Second, I just can't seem to get over the fact that when you look out the windows, you see the bright, florescent glow of a mall walkway. Â Maybe I would be able to look past it if there were some other redeeming qualities, but I haven't found any yet. Â Last, Shenanigan's is filled with the type of people I go through life avoiding. Â I realize that this is mostly a personality thing, Â but they seem to cater to a younger, louder, and more annoying set that I don't want anything to do with.
All this being said, Shenanigan's must have something going for it, as it was very busy both times I've visited (too crowded for my tastes, but I tend to prefer quieter places). Â
I can't imagine what the appeal would be, but I guess if you like generic, crappy bars in malls, then Shenanigan's is your kind of place. Otherwise, it's a definite pass.
