Not your typical pub at all-- very loud and meat-markety. The place was crowded, so people must like the place, but I found it very understaffed and my drink was very weak. I call shenanigans. read more

Heard the band playing down the street so decided to stop in and am so glad we did! Great food, great drinks, great service, and a great band! Awesome experience here! read more

Staying with some friends at the marina and they brought us here for dinner. Had the hummus plate as an appetizer and it was hands-down the best hummus I've ever had! The food was delicious, the servers were awesome and the atmosphere was amazing. They had a really good live band as well. We plan on coming back in the morning for breakfast! read more

Good food but they charged an automatic gratitude (service fee) cause of covid or something along those lines. & then the server took it upon himself to tip himself an extra $25 on top of that fee. I already left the "kind server" a cash tip on top of the automatic tip (which was high already), so make sure you check your totals when you leave the place. read more

First time here food is good and the servers are awesome. Live music and sports on tv. Nice combo. read more

This is a pretty chill bar overlooking the long beach waters. The food and drinks are a little on a pricier side. The burgers were pretty solid. The server was very friendly which made up for a very slow service. They have a couple of pool tables inside too, probably get charged a small fee though. I got the diablo burger with sauteed mushrooms and it was satisfying. Total bill: 2 burgers + 2 beers for $30. They obviously have a bunch of Irish beer on tap. read more

Loved this place... Food was great! Everything tasted fresh and was served hot. We went for lunch and there was not much of a crowd so service was great I would def go again. read more

Shenanigans - Fish and chips - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

My partner and I look very young... with that being said, we get carded almost all of the time. We walked by this place but stopped and decided to go in for drinks. But we heard a voice say, "I.D.'s please." There was a guy all in disguise to the left - hat on, sitting low, in the dark, and next to other random people. Whatever. He checked them and as we walked in through the patio a couple said, "he didn't check our I.D." We sat at the bar that had plenty of room, not many people were sitting at the bar. There were two bar tenders who walked back and forth, cleaned some things up, talked to some customers... but neither one approached us to ask if we'd like anything. In a crowded bar, I would expect to have to push my way to the counter, hold out my hand, fight for a turn to order... but this was not the case. So my partner ends up saying as polite as she could to the guy that stood in front of us cleaning glasses, "what does it take to get a drink around here?" I guess he didn't want to serve us so he turned to someone else behind the counter to take our order. It was a different lady that had just came from the floor area. She was very polite and helpful and while she got our drinks the other lady that blatantly ignored us the whole time decided to come over and ask if we wanted anything. Well. Smh We got our drinks, closed the tab, and found an empty table nearby where we received a lot of attention from the same lady who ignored us earlier and a few other staff members. I don't think we will be returning. read more

Place is always short staffed called for pick up and the lady was rude AF food ain't even all that

Your usual Irish bar at the docks. You can tell the regulars, and the strangers very easily. Service was a bit slow, but not because they were packed, they were pretty empty. I sat a few feet from the bar, so I was able to motor over to the bar and get a refill. No PBR so this is a 1 star rating, BUTT the Bartender had a booty that you could bounce a half dollar off of. So I'll push it up to two stars! read more

I love this bar! Fun atmosphere, right on the pier, live music, and it's always packed. The bar staff is great too. Especially that cute Asian guy with the mustache read more

Nice Irish Pub... it's loud so don't come here for an intimate date. That said, great place to catch a sporting event on tv, grab a drink, and a meal. Ordered Shepherds Pie and a Cheeseburger with garlic fries. Both were good, not sensational but we would come here again. read more

This place has a great vibe. We are from out of town and we have been here before and it's always consistently good. The price is a little over priced, ordered the fish and chips and it was $15 plus tip and was a average. The service was a bit short, seemed like they wanted us some what in and out. But it's a pub so honestly it's a cool feel that's right on the water so pretty decent. We will more than likely come back just because it's not as crowded with most of the restaurants around here. Not a lot of beer selections, hoping next time we roll through they will have more on tap. The only reason I can only give 3 stars is because the wait staff and the lack of beer for a pub. So if you want quick bar food and a beer come by and enjoy the boardwalk and water front. read more

Strolled in here after taking a look at the strip. This look like the best non generic spot to grab a drink and some nice fish and chips. I was extremely surprised by how friendly everyone was and how well the fish and chips were cooked and the size. Beer super cold, food super yummy what else would you want. My friend had the corn beef burger which was out of this world from what he said. Definitely going back to grab that next time. read more

We were pleasantly surprised how great this place was. The taco Tuesday (at an Irish bar) was good at $1.50 a taco. The food came out hot and fresh. We tried the Shepard's pie bread bowl, garlic fries, and burger. Along with lots of tacos. Only problem was with the jalapeño poppers, they were filled buffalo chicken and cheese, but not mentioned on menu. read more

Shenanigans was our favorite bar. Our whole family were regulars. The first time we came back after dine in opened back up there were not many people there and it seemed like social distancing was being followed. The next time we came back it was so packed we barely had room to stand. And now recently found out they had an employee test positive for COVID. The Health Department had to force them to shut down for not following social distancing protocols. I gave the two stars for the employees there that we love! read more

With consideration for the current situation of COVID-19, I still believe this place can do much better. Firstly, they need to train their hosts to remind patrons, that are waiting to be seated, to keep a social distance in line. Furthermore, the hosts need to have a more presentable attire. Secondly, the afternoon to evening shift should prepare the patio, for dinner, by having the propane patio heaters lit before patrons are seated. Thirdly the waiter wasn't very attentive and seemed agitated when asked for condiments or anything that was extra. Perhaps a floating host to follow up with patrons. Overall, my first visit to this establishment wasn't delightful. I certainly hope that if I return I find myself in a better situation than that of which I experienced. read more

I really don't write reviews, but I want to this time because the girl who took care of us is awesome and I want to give her a well deserved kudos!! I was in last Sunday with some friends and again today. The bartender/waitress/(what can't she do) Christina is amazing! She is so sweet and fun to talk to but maaaan does she work her behind off! She is on it! She was servings us drinks and food and it seemed everyone else in the bar too...but she wasnt stressed and did it all with a smile and fun personality! (((Frank, who was also working Sunday is super cool! Gotta give him props too! :) So...if you are looking for a fun place to go and hang out with friends or family...this is the place!! Be sure to go on the weekends so you are sure to meet Christina!! (I will say ONE thing tho.....can you add veggie burgers to the menu please??) read more

I'm on a mission to try out more local places in Long Beach since I moved here nearly 3 years ago. The place is in a nice spot as part of the Shoreline Village complex. I don't think any other bar could have a better view of the water. You can hang outside or inside. There is a bar inside to where I went to enjoy whatever game they had on (MLB All Star game). At first it was a little hard to get an order through. They seemed understaffed to handle the pretty large crowd they had (For a Tuesday night). I eventually was able to get an order through. I kept it simple with rum and coke and also a cheese steak sandwich. It didn't take long to get the order once placed. I ordered a soft drink afterwards and was able to get refills from different bartenders. The sandwich itself was OK. Nothing bad nor special about it. The garlic fries were good. It was a pretty simple stop here, but it gave me enough to want to go back. read more

A great Irish pub with happy employees and always-enjoyable patrons overlooking a lively marina, how can you beat that? Atmosphere is important for a pub and I like it here. You can sit facing the bar and see the boats to your right. Or a table anywhere that gets the breeze as it passes thru. Good vibe, never seems dead even when it's not a busy time of day. The chicken tenders/fingers rock it and a nice selection of beers on tap, especially Wolf Among Weeds IPA. read more

This is me and my wife's second time here. The service is awesome, the team is friendly And good at what they do. Their drink menus is solid and the food did nothing but impress us as it was just really well made bar food. Robert and Patrick were especially helpful and gave us a great experience. We have attended as often as possible since. Thank you shenanigans! read more

Food was good had the veggie wrap. The bad review is for the horrible staff . There was a guy at the bar tables looked liked he worked there or just knew the staff . He was on the phone speaking so loud it was ridiculous. I was going to say something but was afraid they would mess with my food . Also a waitress was wearing her T-shirt so her jelly belly was showing. NOTgood when your eating. Definitely will not be back read more

Ordered it to go.. the girl on the phone was so friendly and was patient with me since I didnt know the menu. She offered me many options. I ended up with the fish and chips. The fish was sooo good. I'm only here 1 more week but I am going back before I leave. read more

We were a group of four, stopping by for a few drinks and the football game. The service was friendly...at first. There was a live band and we were chatting with people at tables around us, buying a round for the band, dancing a bit, enjoying the evening. Then our server brought us our bill without us even asking for it. $500. A bit much for four pitchers of beer, three Long Islands, and six Irish Car Bombs (for the band) but that wasn't what bothered us. It was more of a surprise when we were told we were officially cut off and had to leave. I can understand if we were belligerent or starting trouble but she said it was because they will lose their liquor license if they serve drunk people. Um, this is a bar, right? Maybe they should change their name because "shenanigans" seems like it would be fun. We've never been asked to leave anywhere before, so to say we were shocked is an understatement. We are definitely disappointed in the whole experience. read more

This place has the worst service don't come here they lag on drinks and food the waitress was very rude and inconsiderate here name was Karen which explains why she was the way she acted I would never come here again can't believe you wouldn't wanna take my money in times lie these read more

Just came here for the second time. The first time we came it was excellent. We are the only people and the food came out fast and Kingston was super nice. This time it took 35 minutes to get our food bc they sent one cook home on a Saturday. When my sons food came out the chicken nuggets were burnt to a crisp. My daughter did enjoy her chicken sandwich . As I was finishing this review, the host just kicked a Latino family from the tables outside there restaurant bc she said the tables were for there restaurant. However there was a another group of people eating at tables who didn't buy food from this place and she didn't say anything to them. Not cool at all!!! read more

If you like waiting 20 min for someone to acknowledge you and then waiting some more for food only to be charged a "service charge" for a party of 4 (menu says 6+) then look no further. Otherwise eat elsewhere. I'll never visit here again. Rip off artists through and through read more

The Food was good. The Wait time was a tad long but nothing tedious. It was on a busy Sunday. Asking people to keep their masks on until the drinks are on the table was ridiculous. They even had a 8 feet social distance guideline on a sign. However, that was definitely not happening with people. Drinks are brought within a very short time anyway also. This mask thing is out of hand. If you are that afraid of Covid, then maybe it shouldn't be open? It's an 18% auto gratuity for groups of 6 or more. That is indicated on the menu. Just a FYI. I also DID not like the fact we were asked to hold a card. That made me very uncomfortable. 3.5 stars for me but I'll round it to 4. read more

Stopped here on April 13, 2018 Long Beach Grand Prix was going on. The only reason we tried this place was because our usual spot closed. I've been coming to the Grand Prix for 28 years & have seen this place many times. First thing we needed to get was a pitcher of beer which I ordered & the selection was fairly good on craft beer. I bought a Karl Strauss red trolley pitcher for $32.50 ( it poured 4 16 oz cups) which makes each pour about $8 12 ish a cup. I guess I can't complain because the beers on the track during race day are $12 for Modelo. We hung in there for another pitcher but my son was getting hungry & we had a menu handed to us. It was a lunch "special" menu but there was NOTHING special about it. My son is 15 & can venture outside of chicken tenders so he saw the shepherds pie & ordered it. I figured since it was priced at $14 he'd get a pretty good portion.... WRONG! Not only was the pie dinky in size it was the poorest excuse for shepherds pie I've seen an "Irish" pub serve. Big tip for your cooking staff PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING. People eat with their eyes & the minute I saw this excuse for what I thought we ordered it immediately disappointed. Then once my son takes his first fork full I see how poorly it's constructed. The filling looked like & tasted like it came from a can. It also came in a plastic bowl! CMON $14 plastic bowl looking like a canned soup... horrible. I paid & left a tip... it's not the servers fault the kitchen can't take some pride in food. Will I be back... for beer yes Food NEVER read more

Shenanigans - Looks like a school lunch for $14! NEVER AGAIN - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

Stopped in for lunch. Not a glamorous place but still pretty nice atmosphere to hang with a friend and eat really good food. Service was very good, happy to help with menu suggestions. I had the corned beef burger with very fresh side salad. The 4" wide chunk of corned beef was solid and lean and over 2" high. I broke it apart and made two open face sandwiches because there was no way I could bite something that tall. Delicious! I can't eat rich food like that very often but it was really good. What a treat. We're planning on trying happy hour. read more

Good times! They even had a strawberry-lime cider called Rekorderlig for my wife. (She doesn't like beer.) read more

This was a great, stop in and have some drinks and sit on the boardwalk bar. We heard the food was good, but never got a chance to try it. Staff was awesome the first night we had drinks here. It was Tuesday night and the place was hopping. Live band and all. We were lucky the Bud Light girl was there and gave me and the wife a free beer. All Mexican beers were on special too. Coronas for the rest of the night. I would defiantly come again when I'm back in Long Beach. read more

Shenanigans - Tuesday $3 Special - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

I honestly only go here to see a certain band that plays here once a month. ( will not mention name ) only because if the General manager opened her eyes on how much MORE money they would make if there was better advertisement on their part. Besides the always cold food. And bartenders with off putting behavior. I suggest paying cash only. I seem to always get charged extra, and gratitude. ( when I have already tipped in cash) not cool. The bathroom bothers me. You're forced into a small unisex bathroom. Two stalls as if you were a horse being loaded into a trailer. Just waiting to use the restroom can lead to a lot of unwelcome convo with drunk men or obnoxious loud women. To the GM. Pay attention to the large groups that come out willing to spend good money. read more

I came here in June for lunch and sat on the back patio overlooking the docks. The place was basically empty which was awesome for us since we got our pick of where to sit. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful there just wasn't a lot of food options for me. She was able to help me come up with a veggie option and had the cooks in the back make it. Our food came out quickly and was very good. The bar has tons of drink options. Would return. read more

Where do I start. Food wonderful big choice everything's good . beers cold to the touch frosty Bartenders great on top of their game, Waitresses smart beautiful they do a great job, Nightlife great bands fun people, Oh yeah and I'd like to have a shot every once a while A eye shot from the Queen Mary read more
