    Shanny Fries-- fries/tots, bacon bits, cheese and green onions w/ side of ranch
    Kayli P.

    One of my favorite bars in downtown Vancouver. Great vibes, food and drinks. They also have pool tables and pinball machines-- very fun.

    The service was excellent. I like dive bars. This place is definitely that. Food was good. To top it off, it shares a patio with a cigar and bourbon bar.

    Irish Nachos (smash) , 2lbs buffalo wings (pass), rib dinner special (pass), appetizer combo (pass)
    Bianca D.

    Was looking for something that served food late and this was a top recommendation from several people. Popped in around 9:30 on a Saturday night and this place was buuuusy! There was a private party that booked out the entire back room so we opted for one of the booths in the main room. Menu had quite a bit of options but let's give you the rundown of what we ended up ordering for 4 people: Rib Dinner Special: for $19 I expected a lot more ribs. The plate came with 2 ribs, a chunk of super dry cheddar jalapeño corn bread, chunky potato salad, and meh collard greens. Ribs were meaty but left much to be desired. Corn bread needed to be slathered with butter to be edible. Potato salad had way too much going on. Collard greens were lacking so much. I would definitely never order this again. Irish Nachos: $12 This was pretty epic. 4 potato skins heavily layered with shredded corned beef, cabbage, and cheese. Served with a side of sour cream. Definitely the best thing we ate at Shanahan's! 2 pounds of buffalo wings: Super salty frozen wings from restaurant depot smothered in salty buffalo sauce served with 2 sides of blue cheese dressing. Should have just gotten 1 pound to try. Would definitely not have ordered these if I knew they were the frozen stuff from restaurant depot. Appetizer sampler: $18 a mix of mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, onion rings, jalapeño poppers, and chicken tenders. Again, just a big mix of different fried stuff from restaurant depot's frozen section. Definitely not worth $18 for the small basket of stuff they serve you. Total for all of this plus 3 beers was $99 + tip. Pretty pricey for a bunch of fried up frozen food. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone that I like.

    I've been coming here for years and I've always had excellent service. The way they run their bar is prompt and they're always so nice, even if there is a long line you'll never wait a long time! I ordered the blt and had a solo date outside just relaxing. Food is always great, and priced well, and drinks are strong. I do wish they had music outside, but, nonetheless, one of my fave spots in town!

    Traditional St Patrick's day meal. Corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Follow up with a green beer. Who could ask for anything else?

    Came here to have some St Patrick's day meal and play pool. Tables had nice felt, but they could use some more in house cue sticks. Bartender was a sweet woman and I had no complaints about her service. I would like to come back here again for pool, food and beer.

    Happy Hour Chicken Quesadilla
    Roxy R.

    *Update* Happiness begets happiness. I am grateful for happy hour and for the bar ladies who forever pour heavy, fantastic drinks and the kitchen crew who always produce delicious dishes. Go to happy hour, it's 3-7 daily. The hummus plate is my favorite. Its fantastic. The smoked chili fries are my guys new fave. They are delish. Sorry, I'd write more but I'm still here and still wanting more drinks!! Cheers :)

    Food is basic but good pub quality. They don't make an authentic Irish coffee which was disappointing. Arrive is speedy.

    Food is great. Staff on Friday, and Saturday nights is terrible. two of the rudest bartenders in town. And the drinks are weak.

    The pizza was the bomb. Had a pepperoni on it was great…read more The Negative Nitro as a great beer as well! Atmosphere was good plentiful games.

    Much has changed here since my last review, so I thought I should update it…read more They have expanded the space inside to include a larger bathroom, which is awesome considering they only had one gender neutral bathroom available when we first started coming here. There are more tables too, both normal height and high tops. They've also added a pool table and cornhole, in addition to the original ping pong table. Their menu has evolved as well. In addition to pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers, they've added a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese, spinach artichoke dip and ice cream floats. They have a nice variety of beers and ciders. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We love their QR code ordering system. It helps you get your food faster and you can just pay your tab on your phone. Such a convenience! You can also make reservations online, which is great for large parties. As others have mentioned, it is located in an odd industrial area set back from the main road. It's easy to miss if you're not watching for their sign. There's plenty of parking and a large outdoor seating area during the summer. Their food prices have gone up, and some items seem a little steep now, but that seems to be happening everywhere nowadays.

    Having been to places like Leavenworth and Mt. Angel so frequently (not to mention my trip to…read moreGermany a few years back) apparently made me a bit elitist when it came to Bavarian cuisine, and almost completely forget about Gustav's as a consequence. It was only today, when my boss took our department out to lunch here, was I reminded of how many things Gustav's does right, despite being a chain restaurant. The first reminder came in the form of the interior décor; I forgot how charming it is here: from the entrance to the bar and to the dining halls, there are few restaurants in Vancouver as immediately evocative and immersive in their aesthetics. Our server was friendly, welcoming and helpful in her suggestions, particularly for those members of our party to whom German cuisine is very unfamiliar. The food, by and large, is excellent, although the prices are a bit steep for some of the offerings: for example, the goulash is tied for the most expensive item on the menu, along with the Bavarian Feast. One of these dishes makes sense for the price point; the other does not. It's hard to go wrong with the feast, the wurst platter (in any combination), or any of the schnitzels, but sadly, the Kohlrouladen that I ordered (one of my absolute favorites) didn't quite live up to the high bar set by the same dish at Baren Haus in Leavenworth. The two rounds of fondue with sausage that we ordered as an appetizer were well-received (and thoroughly ravaged) by our party of eight in record time! And although I didn't partake (as I have a negative sweet tooth), a trio of desserts finished off our group's meal, and left everyone satisfied. Overall, Gustav does far more right than I remembered, or gave them credit for. Other than my nitpicks about one particular entrée, and some questionable pricing, everything else about Gustav's punches far above its weight class, especially when considering the fact that it is a chain. By that metric, they have no business being as fantastic as they are! With a couple of tweaks, such as a firmer commitment to embracing German authenticity, and toning down the prices a bit, Gustav's will absolutely have a lock on that fifth star that lies just barely outside their reach.

    Food is amazing, service is super nice and enthusiastic, and the restaurant music is the perfect…read morevolume I love this place so much I think it's one of my favorite restaurants
