Stopped in here on the 4th of July for some quick drinks and ended up having a few. The bartender was superb and even offered a good pizza place that was also good. Went in the next day for dinner and the service and food were amazing yet again. Enjoyed it so much I bought some merchandise. Look back to going back again. read more

OCEAN CITY, MD: Shenanigans Irish Pub is the perfect Irish‑pub‑on‑the‑boardwalk vibe, and their oceanfront outdoor seating is fully dog friendly, so your pup gets the view right along with you. We loved sitting outside watching the boardwalk crowd and listening to the waves while digging into American and Irish comfort food, they even have a Beyond plant‑based burger. The drink list is stacked with cocktails, Irish beers on tap, and a seriously good lineup of Irish whiskeys, and so much more! Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome on the patio, and part of it stays shaded, which was perfect for cooling off. A super fun, laid‑back stop with great views and great drinks. read more

We came with a party of seven and the service was great. My husband and I split the shepherd's pie and one of their drinks. It was tasty, but a little on the pricier side. The vibes are cozy and I enjoyed the decor everywhere of the wooden sigils/flags. Our server was great and checked up on our table frequently. The bathrooms were nice and clean. read more

Service was good but my roast beef sandwich came out cold... Had to fight the manager to watch a football game

Stopped in during a music festival. We sat at the bar and we were served quickly. The restaurant back in the spring had a very open layout, so the inside was pretty hot. They have a patio on the boardwalk as well as inside tables & lots of bar seats. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and our favorites were the chilli cheese fries and the crab dip. The food was hot and the drinks came out fast. We would come here again! read more

Indoor and outdoor dining. Bar in inside. Nice view of the boardwalk and beach. Service was good. Food was good as well pretty pricey for a family of five at least over $100. But do recommend for an Irish pub feel if you are up for it. read more

Very nice spot. Sat at the bar.full service. Very busy but we arrived just as a pair left. Wife had a very sizable and tasty Reuben. I had an equally tasty 1/2 pound burger. The beer cheese sauce was good enough to eat with a spoon. Dries well cooked. Ample seating inside and out, but I can see how the bar fills up and fast. Very easy access to public parking. Drinks were cold and fresh. Try the orange crush. Burger, Ruben, 4 drinks -$64 before tip. And you're right on the boardwalk. Looks like a good spot to catch a game.. read more

I went to this restaurant a few days ago and was extremely disappointed by the service and food. My family and I get to the restaurant and we had asked if we could sit outside. The hostess who had long dark brown hair told us we could sit in the corner even though there were plenty of open seats outside. They were not busy. Furthermore, she was incredibly rude. She snapped at me multiple times when I asked her why we couldn't sit where we wanted to. In addition, the food wasn't good. I had ordered a caesar salad, which came with very little dressing and old lettuce. Brown everywhere and rubbery cheese. It was disappointing. We spent around $140 for a family of 5 and the value just wasn't there. Overpriced Our waitress Lex was sweet and helpful. read more

BEST STOP ON THE BOARDWALK. If I could do 6 stars I would. Excellent service, our server Mara really made the experience. 10/10 food, I had the lamb lollipops and the swordfish and filet mignon kebabs. One of the best meals I've ever had. Paired up with a great selection of Irish beer. Beautiful views of the beach and boardwalk. read more

Service was great. The food was just okay. I have had better corners beef Rueben's. Back home a a pub. The ravioli was just okay from what my 14 year old said. My husband did like the shepherds pie and son said the chili was good but needs spice. read more

To be honest I was pessimistic about the irish style cuisine especially on the boardwalk. My instincts were very wrong. My group or 10 sat outside and our waitress was fantastic. She was prompt, attentive, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about every singe dish. I split 2 sandwiches with my buddy. The Sugar Ray French Dip and the Short Rib Grill cheese. They honestly might both have been the best sandwiches ever. Besides my friend and I that split them a few others took a bite and were amazed how delicious. 2 nights later most of our group went back and they all ordered the French Dip. I preferred the Grilled Cheese by a tiny margin. I wish I knew the waitresses name to shout her out. Also have a fresh Guiness. read more

Went back to Shenanigans for a late night bar experience and totally glad we did. The bartenders were great and made sure to get our food order in before the kitchen closed. There was live music and it wasn't too crowded. Highly recommend! read more

Loved our server! Super attentive. I was surprised how big it was inside and they had live music. Would for sure eat here again. I was indecisive and not too hungry so I had a burger but I was jealous of others scallops and shepherds pie. I would have gotten shepherds pie but worried it would have been too heavy. It was a different take on it but damn was it good, stole a lot of hubby's. They also got us right in which is rare. Will be back read more

First visit to Ocean City, MD and we found this this great Irish pub Wed 6/04/25 6pm. Shenanigan's is a big pub with indoor & outdoor seating. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the barman, Alexander who was very friendly with all. First drinks were of course a Guinness ($8.75)-a perfectly poured Imperial pint (20oz) & a pinot grigio ($7.50). Appetizer of the day was crab tots ($13.50)-6 perfectly crispy outside w/ tender juicy crab inside, w/ remoulade sauce & mine w/ a dash of Tabasco. Dinner choices were Sheila Kane's seared scallops w/ creamy sweet pea risotto ($34). Perfectly prepared scallops & an excellent risotto-chef's kiss & Maryland crab soup, an East Shore favorite, big bowl ($9). Very big menu with emphasis on fresh seafood & Irish pub favorites. Open 11am-11pm everyday during the summer. Live music most every day. Parking lot nearby, very accessible by public transit & walking via the Boardwalk. A fun & friendly place. And was entertaining as Alexander engage the patrons with a variety of games of dexterity at the bar. Highly recommend this spot to all Ocean City visitors. Thank you to Alexander & the staff. It was great & we'll see you on our next visit. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA read more

My friends and I have made a point to visit this Shenanigans location for many years as part of our annual beach trip. It's been a fun stop to grab a drink. Unfortunately, I cannot longer recommend this place to stop by. The bartenders are unprofessional. When they gave an espresso martini to a customer, they also drank some in a cup. If they are on the clock, they should not be drinking. If they are, they also are still expected to be doing their job professionally. I witnessed a situation where the customer had not gotten their card back and the bartenders were not only placing blame on the customer but also dismissed this person. They proceeded to cater to other patrons without taking care of the matter in a timely manner. They also claimed that they gave the card back but when they finally, actually looked into it, the card was by the till. Not that the "customer is always right", but the mannerisms and attitude these bartenders had was rude. They needed to admit they made a mistake. We will not be back. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. We love the Smithwicks on tap! The short rib grilled cheese sandwich is amazing. We also tried the pretzel with crab. It was okay but not nearly as good as the crab and jalapeno balls. They were really good Lots of crabmeat in them and a yummy dipping sauce. read more

Good experience there last night for dinner. I'm always wary of doing a real sit-down dinner in the middle of a boardwalk, but it really was a "real" restaurant, in addition to being a bar. Food was good. It was bar food, but it was good food. Service was decent. The waitress was very busy, but she was reasonably attentive and she was very nice. Not necessarily a place I would seek out for a quiet sit-down dinner if it was in the town where I lived, but it was a very good option in the heart of the boardwalk if you want to get a bit of a break from the sensory overload. Three entrees, one draft beer, $75.30 including all three levels of taxes (Maryland Food Tax, Ocean City Tax and Maryland Liquor Tax), but not including tip. read more

We stopped at Shenanigans on the boardwalk on a Saturday night and were delightfully surprised. The beer prices were refreshingly cheap, which was a nice bonus. My daughter ordered the hot chicken fried sandwich, and it was cooked perfectly--crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. My wife went with the fish tacos, and they were massive, definitely generous portions. I had the bratwurst with onions and peppers, and it hit the spot. The food came out quickly, everything was hot and delicious, and the prices were very reasonable for a boardwalk spot. All in all, a great experience--we'll gladly return! read more

Food was ok. Didn't have much flavor prob won't go again. Service was good but we could nvr get the attention of our waiter for help.

The biggest perpetrator of any shenanigans were the flies... gathered in their masses... on the rim of our beer glasses... the staff was kind and took instruction... against flies we sought injunction... on the beach the bodies (sun) burning.... flies on my food was so unnerving! The great Ozz was known to snort ants and bite bats, but I certainly don't want to consume insects, which is why Shenanigan's needs to do something about the flies. I get that we're on the beach and there are critters abound, but... just a Shot in the Dark... a couple of powerful fans will do a world of difference. We made comments about the no less than 5 flies at any given time on our table, darting quickly to land on our food for a quick bite, then zoom off, and the very kind staff offered to move us inside... but that defeats the purpose of eating on the boardwalk at the beach. We could easily find indoor seating at a restaurant a block off the sand on Baltimore Ave... and we did for our subsequent meals. The food was perfectly fine for a beachfront, pour-you-a-pint, and enjoy the sun and scene while donning flip-flops and shades. Shenanigan's... 86 the flies with a couple powerful fans and i'd happily pay the $50 for two platters and pints and even spring for 4th star on yelp, but until then, no more files... no more tears... read more

As a place to have a beer on the boardwalk... it's great. As a place to eat... no. Definitely no. Our party consisted of three adults. None of them were pickey eaters, all from Maryland, all capable cooks. Besides an appetizer, all three meals were left unfinished. Two meals involved a crab meat which was inedible. The third was a steak special that included grossly overcooked vegetables. How do you ruin asparagus & carrots? Two of the meals included mac n cheese that went unfinished. The pasta was under cooked and there was too much gooey cheese. It's like the kitchen was not even trying. On the other hand, our waitress was excellent. read more

Meh - not really an Irish Bar. More like a beach restaurant with minor sprinkles of Irish decor. I did get a t-shirt that says Shenanigans. The Orange crush is made out of orange juice. Service was great though. We had a soft pretzel with beer cheese which was super hard. read more

Our Order: We started off with a pretzel with beer cheese, Softshell crab sandwich with fries, crab cakes with fries and coleslaw, and fruit and veggies plate. Execution of Our Order: The crab sandwich was unimpressive it was cooked well but had to seasoning and no taste the fries were very boring and had no seasoning. The crab cakes were fried to the point the were hard as a rock and tasted absolutely horrid. Seating: They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and the seats were absolutely uncomfortable and extremely crowded. Staff and Services: Staff were extremely rude and impatient. This was by far my worst experience visiting Maryland. Drink Menu: They have a decent drink menu. Food Menu: Food Menu has a lot to choose from. Prices: $$-$$$ Cleanliness: This restaurant wasn't clean which we didn't notice until we were seated at a nasty sticky table which the staff were angry that I pointed it out and politely asked for us to change seats or have it cleaned. Ombiance: Overcrowded, Loud, and obnoxious. Overall Experience: Absolutely Horrid experience here! Will never visit here again! Rating: 0/10 Recommendation: I don't recommend this place to anyone. Family Friendly: No Stroller/Wheelchair Friendly: Absolutely Not read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. The service here was beyond rude--our server literally threw a pen at my friend when we were just trying to clarify our order. She then started arguing with us about what we had asked for, like it was our fault she got it wrong. On top of that, it was really hard to understand her due to a heavy accent, and she got visibly frustrated when we asked her to repeat herself. She also almost dropped all the food on our table and did spill some soup while serving--didn't even apologize for it. We left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. Definitely not coming back. read more

I love coming to shenanigans every time I come to Ocean City, MD. In particular, I make sure to order their fish and chips as it is a personal favorite of mine. The fried fish is crispy on the outside and flaky and delicate on the inside. The drinks here are also great.. especially if you like them a little stronger!

Best vegan food on boardwalk. Also for regular meals there crab cake is amazingly delicious

Came to Ocean City to look for some Maryland Crab Cakes and stumbled upon this place. It is conveniently located right on the boardwalk and went during the day on a Sunday. Tooks us about 10 minutes to get a table and they have seating both inside and outside. Got an appetizer of the crab dip with bread. The crab dip was good and tasted like fresh crab. I then got the double crab cake meal which included two sides. The sides were not impressive. I got the steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. The veggies didn't have much flavor and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant. The crab cakes were really delicious but it was also pretty pricey. It wasn't worth the price I paid especially with the lack of flavor with the sides. I do recommend the crab cakes and the crab dip. The remoulade sauce you get with the crab cakes was also really delicious! read more

Great food, friendly service, good prices for oceanfront restaurant & bar. We dined inside with a party of 7. Something for everything. The vegetarians in our group had generous portioned salads that were very nicely done. The basket of fries app are waffles fries. Highly recommend the beer cheese to got with it. Tastes amazing! Not sure why my daughter would choose raviolis at an Irish pub, but it was a good choice. Nice portion, thick & hearty marinara sauce. I had the Nashville Hot Cody (fried cod with Nashville hot sauce with some good kick). Reuben was awesome. My husband had a seafood linguini dinner special and reported it was amazing. Our server was super nice & perfectly attentive without being annoying. In fact, in the middle of taking our order his food was up for another party and he apologized to interrupt our order taking to get their food to them hot. Our food too when it came was piping hot. The hustle in this joint is super impressive how they serve and get the the table cleared and cleaned for next party. I'm so glad we came. We've walked past this place for many years on the Boardwalk. First time will not be our last. Everything was great. Beer is super cold with great variety of local brews and everywhere favs. Frozen cocktails and speciality drinks in buckets are nicely priced and looked great too read more
