    Cajun Rub Wings
    Zach L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot to watch the World Cup games![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my first time here and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was delighted by a welcoming atmosphere in a room full of regulars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had great service and they have a selection of Irish import beers that were great! The menu has a lot of bar staples and this time around we hit their appetizers. We tried three different flavors of wings, the sweet and spicy, hot, and their Cajun rub. The wings were cooked perfectly! I really enjoyed all three flavors, they mentioned that the rub is their most popular. A rub isn't usually my first pick for a wing but they were great! We also had the nachos which were piled high and layered perfectly. And the chili cheese fries. The toppings on both the nachos and the fries tasted fresh and the chili was great! Looking forward to trying out some entrees, perhaps their fish and chips on my next trip.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Neighborhood bar in a sketchy complex, lots of locals, good food and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Holly checked in with us several times and our food came out quickly. I sampled my boyfriend's club sandwich and onion rings and they were not what I would order but pretty good. He loved it!

    Fish and chips with Cole slaw
    Steve T.

    Great selection of imported beers and whiskey Staff is friendly and helpful Ask for Sara or Tracey Shepherds pie on game days which I plan to check out

    Monte Cristo with sweet potato fries (we ate a few)

    Walking in we were skeptical but this was a hidden gem. Excellent service! Holly took great care of us!!! Made us feel right at home. Best wings I've had in a long time and I could drink the ranch! Drinks were on point and the Monte Cristo was really good too! I would definitely recommend this place! We may even come back later in our stay

    Fish & Chips
    Maricel B.

    My husband and I searched for some great fish & chips and Shenanigan's popped up. It was so tasty. They cooked it perfectly with just the right crunch! The fries were also seasoned nicely! It comes with coleslaw as well. We also ordered a Caesar salad. To end the dinner we got the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel and chocolate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only is the food great, but the atmosphere was comfortable, clean, and service was fantastic![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this place! We'll be back. So much great stuff on the menu to try!

    Fish and Chips and Onion RIngs
    Geralyn H.

    On a mission to try out as many FIsh-and-Chips dishes as possible, so headed to Shenanigan's for Friday lunch. Wish we had discovered this pub sooner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is so homey and "English" and the staff are super friendly - even to first-timers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was full for lunch and we were lucky to get a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Generous wine pours at a great price. Lengthy beer menu, both draft and bottles. But onto the food -- absolutely delicious. The beer battered fish was really good, light and crispy. Same batter for the onions rings, which were also tasty. Coleslaw is a little bland. Fries/chips were awesome - crispy outside, soft (and hot) inside. Really enjoyed this lunch. Wish Shenanigan's was in our neighborhood, but we will definitely return and bring friends!

    I've been wanting to try Shenanigan's for quite some time and the food and service were both incredible! I love the St. Patty's vibe, where it feels like any day can be a celebration! I recommend the Mind Melter.

    Burger with onion rings!
    Michelle L.

    We had planned to go to a different restaurant but they were full and we would have a 45 minute wait at least. So we got on Yelp and found this place. The name sounded fun, it was close by and food looked good. We were so glad we came. Food was amazing, I had great burger with cheese & bbq sauce cooked perfectly. Served with delicious onion rings. My husband had the fish tacos with wet potato crinkle fries. Also delicious. He had blood orange hefe on tap. Smelled so good and he loved it. Portions were big, we had to get two boxes for our leftovers. As we were leaving I asked the couple next to us if they came here often. They said they do and it's always great. Did I mention the prices were great. We definitely recommend.

    The ceiling

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Old time pub located near to a of shopping with great food and incredibly authentic British pub feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders and servers are energetic, enthusiastic and complete professionals who know their customers by name (my first time in the bartender asked my name and has remembered me ever since). Cheers to Shenanigans!

    First time stopping by in quite a while. It is World Cup season, and I had hoped that Ole Bridge…read morestill had some of the magic I remember. And glad to say, that in my experience, this is still the closest we have in Reno to a "soccer bar". This has always been a great spot. Small, yes, but in that casual, intimate, easy-going way that has a lot of charm. Lots of hard-wood finishes, barstools, and TVs to catch what's on. And at time of writing, totally overflowing with futbol energy. There are a good number of bar spaces, tables, and outside seating overlooking the river, which is a BIG draw. The beer selection here is great, both on tap and in cansor bottles. But they also have a decent full-barselection of wines, spirits, and cocktails. Plus, a decent smattering of N/A options. And prices are on par with most other bars in town. Service here has been quite good. Friendly in the extreme, and relatively prompt. Though if there are big, crowded events (such as a game being on), you may have a little slowdown. Plus, the vibes here are just fantastic. The location also cannot be beat, as it is ell placed to enjoy the riverfront and explore more of the area. Though parking may be a bit tight, depending on where you park and what day or time it is. There is also no food options here, but there are plenty of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. All in all, I am glad some of the energy I remember is still here. I will have to come back during MLS or Premier League matches to see how things stand. And with a soccer team HOPEFULLY returning to Reno, I definitely hope we can get the local supporters groups to return here, as well. Definitely a libation spot not to be missed. Cheers!

Great outdoor patio area with some picnic tables, and they always have a good selection of beers on draft. No shuffle board any longer but there is a foosball table now.

The vibe is open and chill. We grabbed a few drinks and split some food. The portions are very generous. We decided on nachos, a chicken apple salad wrap and crispy Brussels sprouts.

The Brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of a maple glaze. Our server Chelsea was super friendly and served our food in a timely manner.

Also weirdly enough the ketchup here, for some reason may be the best ketchup on earth... I can not wait to get some time to run back down to MF, eat some killer food, drink some local beers, and snap a bunch more pics to hopefully get more people enjoying this place.

A draft beer for 16 dollars is also more than expected. Our bartender was professional and chatty. He did pull a nice bottle of tequila down for us to admire, and told us about some other fancy top shelf stuff they had. I appreciate they were even open. Service was great, everyone looked taken care of. The place looked clean; and the food looked great everywhere, ours just flopped. All of the other patrons there were probably late 50s and up at 2pm on Memorial day. This is one of the most expensive underwhelming lunches I've had ever had in Reno. I am sure if we had said something they would have given us new fries, but that isnt the point. You have a price set well above average so I expect that it will be executed suprbly.

We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Saturday. The joint was nearly empty aside from a couple at the bar. Plenty of seating for our large group in the large, comfy couches.

A fun and unique way to sort cocktails. They also have a selection of beer on draft and wine. The drinks can also be made into mocktails- a win for our group since we had a few non-drinkers. The 1859 mocktail was great. Perfectly sweet with a small hit of miso flavor from the miso honey. Probably even better and more balanced with the whiskey!
