Very nice spot. The servers and bartenders engage with customers in a genuine way. The food is good, but the staff rocks! Stop by this place! read more

This is a great place to wind down. The young lady bringing drinks did a great job and there was an adequate selection.

Basic bar but not Irish. No ciders on tap or even bottled. Fish and chips was good. No malted vinegar. Just an okay bar nothing special. Service was good but a little rude was corrected many times on little things. I asked if they had beer in tap and she said it was called draft. Was hoping for an Irish something. Paloma with squirt was $9.00 read more

The waitress was an absolute ANGEL!!! But the owner was obviously under the influence of something and going off at the mouth and rude to one person in my party because he misunderstood the context of his statement and told them to eventually leave after minutes of yelling and yelling incoherently and not only that he even recommended that we go to another Irish bar down the road if we did like that one. (And we did!) The poor look on his waitresses faces, pure embarrassment for them and I still paid and tipped my waitress. It's not her fault her boss was acting the way he did. Nonetheless I would not recommend going there, it is not an Irish bar don't be fooled by the false advertising! read more

Shenanigan's Irish Pub & Grill - Liquor bar! - Pubs Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

Not really sure why this is considered an Irish pub, but its a fun bar to go to in Brownsville on the weekends. It gets pretty packed at night, and they have all the night-bar classics: loud music, bright lights, lively crowd, and full bar. The drinks are reasonably priced; about $6 for a cokctail and $3 for a beer. They even serve beer towers that are pretty fun to order, but not actually that practical. For a bar that gets busy at night, they do a fairly good job at keeping up with your orders if you're sitting at a table. It will sometimes take a bit of time, but not bad overall. read more

If the bartender/owner doesn't like your music (classic rock ) they turn it off even after you paid and will not refund . This was on a a slow afternoon .Rap junk or reggaeton with obscenities is welcome though . read more

I was curious to check out this "Irish" bar with my co-worker during a business trip. They had a pretty decent beer selection, with a microbrew or two. What really made the first night (and the second & the third) was the staff. Easily one of the most friendly set of bartenders I've encountered. When we asked if they could swap the TV to the Bruins game, we discovered the bartender was a Boston area native. Very cool to be in Brownsville & have some beers & a good conversation about hockey while the juke blasts hispanic pop. The bathroom setup is.... unique. Some guy had wired the faucets with fishing line and would pump your soap for you while operating the tap from across the room, then would offer you a choice of cologne. The food is the only reason I didn't give this place five stars. Nothing bad, just nothing great. read more

"Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?" You mean Shenanigans? Sorry guys I had to, this is what's going through my head every time I say the name of this bar. Super Troopers is a Cinematic Gem that must be quoted as many times as possible. Anyhow I don't know about their mozzarella sticks, but the nachos are money. Visiting family for the weekend I could see Shenanigans from my hotel, Hampton Inn Suites. This was great, because I could walk to it. It has a perfect pub feel. It's laid back and the service was excellent. I was here on a Thursday night and this place was packed. This might be the only gig in town. Their tap wall has about 25 beers on draft. Its going to be your typical big brewery types. They did have Saint Arnolds Amber and Alamo Golden Ale. I decided to compliment my nachos with a Sierra Nevada. It was perfect. They have plenty of flat screens to catch the game. Good service, fun crowd and beer towers makes this place a must for late night Shenanigans WARNING.... ! There is not a local smoking ban so be prepared to smell like crap when you leave. read more

I'm going to Pistol Whip the next person who says Shenanigans! No seriously, folks, working in Brownsville, TX for a week can be somewhat of a drag. Why not get drunk and have a great time while you're in town, though, right? Shenanigans is an Irish-Themed (even though loosely) pub in a strip mall. They've got a great jukebox, awesome live entertainment, plenty of LCD TV's, comfy couches in the back room, a big round table with high backed chairs... but my most favorite feature of Shenanigans is the 120 oz tower of beers. For about $35, 120 oz (about 4 feet high) of delicious Guinness (or 24 other beers on tap) can be yours. Our party went through two of them, plus God knows how many rounds of shots (of which the incredibly hot waitress imbibed as well) to leave us all worthless by the end of the night. In fact, my poor co-worker had to pull the car over the *next day* on the way into the office! The service was awesome -- Christi took incredible care of us all night. Even after we got a little out of hand, I was able to talk the manager into letting us stay (even though a bouncer wanted us ejected.) The food is ok. I'd probably eat elsewhere because the selection just isn't that great. Either way, if you're looking to get really smashed-ass drunk in Brownsville, TX.... get to Shenanigans. *pistol whip* read more

Since we waited 45 minutes for a Reuben, what is there good to say. Waitress was nice, sheppard's pie was delish, service was great, but kitchen needed help. All the hot food came out first. read more

Gotta love a good brew! I haven't been here in a while but when i do go this place makes for a great night of fun. Bring a group of friends; split the tab if cause it's a little pricy for a college student but it's totally worth it in the end. read more

Took a lil while for waitress to come around..once she did she was on us all night. Had a great time. They had Irish Coffee on the menu- but were out of coffee. The reason I give it 4 stars is; although our waitress was attentive and fast she was very crude and straight up raunchy. She made remarks of "her man not giving her any the night before" to our table..we were all cousins sitting together, but thought damn this girl is a skeezeball. I bit shocking; but then again...we were there to get drunk and talk shit. $200 tab and a $50 tip..she was trashy but keep'em coming.. read more

This place was soooo fun, came here for a friends hangout. The music was great the ambiance was very fun. I would recommend after a long day. The drinks were not weak like other places. Only downside is the parking. Since its in a little corner you have park in best buys parking lot sometimes. read more

My wife, sister-in-law and I visited for the first time last weekend and LOVED it! We actually went to see our favorite bartender...ELDA. ELDA in our opinion is the best around...she is wonderful, fun, BEAUTIFUL and of course makes the BEST drinks we have ever had. The place was very nice cozy and clean with lots of TVs. We ordered some wings which were awesome! We also love bartender KIM who is very beautiful and was exceptionally nice to us. See ya soon! Gus and Carmen read more

We are visiting the area and absolutely love trying new places especially Irish fare. Due to the coronavirus restriction we can only order for delivery or pick up. Saw their special on Fb for 50 cent wings and $10 gallons of draft beer and decided to try them. We ordered 50 wings (half buffalo/ Sirachi), 1 gallon of Guiness draft and the Irish chips. The wings were definitely temperature hot but were mediocre. Couldn't tell which one was which. One had barely any sauce but tasted different from buffalo so we weren't sure. The other had a dry season on it. I immediately messaged them asking but didn't get a response until today. I wish they had stated that. I looked again at their online menu and it didn't state that the Siracha was a dry rub. You could tell the oil had not been changed. The gallon of Guiness was delivered in a milk jug with no lid. And I was told the Irish chips were fried potatoes that are typically softer that regular potato chips which is why we tried them. Sigh ... they were burnt. The specials/ deals were definitely appealing, however, I won't be ordering from there again. read more

If you are really looking for a real Irish pub I would save your time... it's okay. If you don't want to drink any real Irish beer, and maybe jam to some Mexican music this would be your spot with Irish posters on the wall sip on a giant bud light. Then here is your spot. read more

Great food, Jason made some really good old fashion and he's got a really cute butt.

I have been going to this place every now and then(at least once every 6 months). This place has no service if u are not sitting at the bar. That's not why I am giving this place an two star review. The reason I am giving this place two stars is because the menu is false. I have been going their asking for the scotch egg going on 3 plus years, if they had this, they would be 4 stars just for trying(Brownsville) but yet I can't tell you if this deep fry fancy gastropub food is good cause I have never seen it. This afternoon when I went I ask if they had it knowing they weren't going to have it... so I settled for the chicken bacon bites.. so 35 minutes later. I will admit I was with an huge group of people and I figure that the order would been forgotten no big deal, that was till one of my hungry buddies ask what happen to the chicken bites and then ask the the sever about them. The sever then, vanish then, came back with them saying that it took them a while cause they did not have the chicken cut up... I.e. the sever Throw the kitchen under the bus........ This is around what happens to me every time I go and order food. Here is my advice when going. Do go after 9pm(then you can blame the bad service on the fact that it is busy). Do sit at the bar. Do Drink draft beer. Don't order any food or ask about any thing that may make you think you are not in Brownsville............. read more

Menu is nice. Buffalo chicken sandwich sucks but most everything else is good. One of the better beer selections in town. Too bad you'll never get any of that because the service gets a fat wet 0. Just sat there for twenty minutes. Waitresses walked by, made lots of eye contact, never even said hello, let alone "can I get you a drink or something?" Way to miss out on $40 and a tip. read more

Good beer selection, wish they had a IPA. Hot wings very good. live music on a Wednesday night, if that's your thing. Could use a little more lighting, it's a bit dark. My biggest complaint was that all 7 tvs were turned on to soccer. Being forced to watch soccer for pretty much ruined the good feelings the wings and beer created. read more

Had a large selection of beers on draft. 30 beers. Bartender even gave us sample tastes of beers we were thinking of trying. Lots of TVs to watch the game. Really enjoyed stopping in here, we will be back. read more

What can I say! Robyn, best bartender I have ever met in Texas. I Visited once and the second time she remember my name. Yup she did! The food was amazing, Shepherd's pie and some GP wings. Awesome awesome. Will definitely visit again and again. Now delivering with Bite Squad Whoo hooo. read more

Been there several times and I really enjoy the ambience. Nice place to relax after work, have some beers with friends and listen to music.

Sports Bar and Wheel of Fortune is on...some excuse about one remote and there's only 16 TVs here... :(

While I will commend this establishment for their above average (for south Texas and the area in general) tap beer selection, I must make absolute protest about the staff, in particular, the bar tending staff, about the lack of custumer service, or even offensive bias in customer service. My experiences there showed me that the staff tends to cater more to the male clientele rather than female; as if they expect men to ring-up a higher bill, or men to be the sole tippers. How dare they make such assumptions! As a female, I am deeply offended by this treatment! I am a fabulous tipper when I have been given service accordingly! After living in NYC for more than ten years, where I always, always treated bartenders and any waitstaff with proper decorum, because they treated clientele accordingly, never encountered such blatant disregard for their customer. I informed the management that I will no longer give them my business! In other words, Bugger off, fake Irish bar! read more

Awesome St. Patty's day celebration. The wings are really good and the service is great! Ask for RandieLynn!!

Bartender and waitresses are Grade A. Enviroment was great. TVs plentiful. $6 for a pint of Smithwicks! Little high priced to make an evening out of it. read more

Travellers and Tourists to Brownsville looking for a place to relax and enjoy some food and drinks BEWARE - This is NOT the place for you!! Unless you thrive on absolutely awful customer service (the waitresses were more concerned about chatting up patrons rather than making money) and OK food, I would suggest better food and a customer service experience can be had at Mickey D's... My wife (originally from Brownsville) and I spent a week in town on family matters, and wanted to go somewhere and watch a Sunday Night Football Game, have a couple of drinks and some 'pub grub'. We decided to try Shenanigans as we had never been there before. After arriving, we sat at the center bar seating (seats on both sides of a long table) for 10 minutes; not one member of staff acknowledged us. Finally my wife got up and asked the bartender if a server was available to take our food and drink order. The bartender whistles to one of the servers and says, "Hey sweetie, can you help these ppl out?" Once we received our food and drinks, we settled in to watch some of the game. Our server indicated she was leaving, and we closed out our tab with her. My wife finished her beer and set the pint glass off to the side on the table in front of her, so the bartender and any passing server could see that it was empty and ask my wife if she wanted another beer. After 15 minutes waiting, we thought one of the servers was going to come up and ask if she wanted another beer. What happened? The server pushed in a bar stool across from us and moved on, completely ignoring us! We both looked at each other, laughed and decided to leave. As I was walking towards the door I decided to say something to the bar management. I asked the bartender if she was the manager, and she said no. I told her anyways about how awful their Customer Service was. All she could say was, 'Ahhh, Well Uhhhhh.' As I turned to leave, I could see the bartender roll her eyes and shrug her shoulders as if to say 'Oh Well'. Being frequent visitors to the area for both work and personal matters, My wife and I now know where our money and time will NOT be spent, and I would advise those travelling the area to do the same read more

We were in Brownsville looking for a place to watch the game. Check this pub out awesome flat screens on the walls! The hottest waitresses in South Texas. My buddy and I tried the tower of beer on our first visit and over a few nights tried to survive the 25. If you try 1 pint of each u get a cool t-shirt and a personal numbered mug. I'm a member now that they think I'm worthy... and make sure they give you a buck off. had some great shrimp and the burgers are tasty. Service is great and they really take care of you. Sorry we had to go back to Houston really liked this place! Hey guys build a place in Houston! read more
