The atmosphere at Shenanigans is one of good food and fun! The expansive menu and drink selection is excellent and not disappointing. We enjoyed some brews as well as the Fish & Chips and the Steak and Spuds. Both dishes were incredibly good and whatever you do--order their homemade brown gravy and put it on something because it's phenomenal! read more

Great burgers, good music and cool old pub bar wallpapered with dollar bills. Great drinks and service.

We really wanted to like it but didn't. The place is cute inside but we sat outside which was fine. We ordered a margarita it didn't have the color of a margarita but it was good. Entree- chicken strips & fries The reason for two stars was the meal. Chicken was tough over cooked not fresh! Fries were cold. read more

Great service and environment is nice. Food tastes good and reminds me of a welcoming pub environment. Only thing that keeps me from giving 5 star is that food is stereotypical of what Americans think Irish eat. But it's good food none the less read more

Lived in Dahlonega and ate here regularly for 5 years before I moved to Asheville 2 years ago. I was back in town and ate lunch on Sunday. I had a new bartender and trainer that was very nice. The only thing saving this place is nostalgia and the great service. Unfortunately, though the food and well to a lesser extent, their beverages are let's just see barely scrapping the bottom part of mediocre. I hope I'm wrong here, but I feel like this restaurant like many of the only establishments in dahlonega are owned by very greedy, selfish people with no concern for the customers that are going to their establishments. I think everything that's wrong with this place could be fixed if the owner was satisfied with less money at the end of the month,and putting more than a couple of slices of ham on a sandwich, or actually making a good product, but no, they're just interested in sucking on tourist and the poor locals that have to frequent this horrible establishments. read more

This place is a hoot! The ambiance is definitely pub and local college bar all mixed together. And the staff is both laid back and efficient. As for food, I cannot say enough good things about the Guinness burger!!! The only downside is that it is so filling, you might not be able to finish it. And your taste buds will resent your stomach. The grouper sandwich is magnificent and if you order it blackened you will thank yourself and the kitchen. All in all, a great place. read more

Shenanigans - Black and tan beer, fish and chips ( lunch portion ) - Irish Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

Our first meal here. It was graduation night at UNG, but we were seated quickly. The hostess was friendly and efficient, she had good energy. Great pub vibe, with dollar bills lining every available space downstairs. Katie gave us a quick rundown of their popular items and her personal favorites. We opted for the Shepherds Pie and Patty Melt. Both had lots of flavor, good temps, and classic presentation. There were lots of options and we had a time deciding. We would go back! read more

We Shelly are on the tail end of a great birthday weekend! We hit 3 restaurants that we want to share our experience with y'all. 1st stop was Shenanigans in Dahlonega: amazing food, service and price! Make sure to stop in when you are in the area 4 2nd/Our big birthday bash was at Dahlonega Resort and Vineyard: This event was planned 4 months in advance with the restaurant manager, no big birthday recognition, food was 1+ hours,, wrong, dry and way over priced. Best item on the menu was the wine from Kaya vineyard. Nothing noteworthy (except to avoid) 3rd and final was Taqueria Tsunami in Gainesville for lunch. The service was phenomenal, food was fresh and quick and Mack was so thoughtful and attentive, ask for her when you visit 5 and thrilled it is close by home . read more

I've been several times and don't have one bad thing to say about service, food, and atmosphere are all top notch

I just moved to the Dahlonega area from Fl. And not only is there food fresh and so delicious. The whole staff from the bartenders to the servers to even the kitchen crew and host. I don't think I've experienced one moment of feeling a part of the community through this restaurant. Through feeling so welcomed bye the staff all the other relationships I'm building through the other guest is exactly as welcoming to the community it's the best customer service hands down then any other establishment that I've attendees in the month in a half I've lived now in the dahlonega are. I don't cook and even know I eat the same thing every time the muscles and linguine it's so fresh and cooked the same regardless what cook cooks it consistency is key to me and it has been. Such a positive attitude towards the people doesn't mater gay straight purple pink all is so welcomed bye everyone it's great thank you five stars for sure wish there were more to give. read more

Shenanigans - Upstairs seating is perfect for a large group - Irish Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

A couple of things here - first, I love the atmosphere! I went to Ireland two years ago and this definitely gave me those vibes sitting and eating pub style! There was live music, which is always a nice touch. The decor is perfect for what it is and I love that there's an awning out front so you don't have to wait in the sun. The food was really delicious for the most part (my Irish stew was a little spicy for my taste), and the service was ok. Now for the bad parts. The messaging system they have for waiting doesn't seem to be reliable. We waiting 20 minutes and never got "buzzed" so my friend had to go check if they forgot us. Then, the waitress actually DID forget my husband's entire entree. This was rectified within a few minutes, but how do you not notice someone at the table has nothing to eat?? And he ordered, lol! They did give us a free dessert to compensate for the forgotten meal. The food was slow coming unfortunately and it took over an hour to get a table and finally get food. So while I love the idea of this place and the people were nice, I don't know that I'd go back. read more

Ambiance, service, and food were all great! I came here for a birthday dinner while out looking at Christmas lights around the square. We sat outside at a table with a fire in the center. Although, it was super crowded, the vibe was completely calm outside that you would never know how crowded it was. Best restaurant in the square! read more

We stopped here for dinner our first night in Dahlonega and loved it! Great atmosphere and fantastic food.

Service was good, but I expected more from what I'd read vis-a-vis the pub food and beverage. The Malbec - MEH, the potato pancakes obviously frozen and preformed, and served greasy. The jalapeño sour cream on the side missed the jalepeño totally. The Reuben still waiting for the search party to find the Thousand Island dressing ... However...the pub chips were decent, again the service was good and I appreciated her honesty when I asked questions - that is huge to me. And my husband's cod with saffron rice and broccoli - he pronounced delicious! Parking wasn't difficult as it was a Sunday evening and the historic district seems to clear out a bit. In fairness the next time, I would order a fish dinner because they rocked it and try an actual cocktail or bottled cider. read more

Love the fact that it's am old house. It's just off the square, so there is plenty of entertainment people watching while you are waiting for your food. Added bonus, they have live music in the parking lot on the weekends. The band wasn't really my thing, but I'm not the only person out here, so I'm for it. The food, was hit and miss. We had the Ruben sandwich, I do not recommend it, but we did get fries and onion rings and they were very good. read more

Our second dine there. Food was awesome, service was awesome. No complaints. We will be back on our next visit.

AWESOME! Had a great time here last week on Karaoke night. Funky atmosphere with all the dollars on the ceiling I swear there is a few thousand all over this place. The food was so yummy. I had bangers and mash with spicy mustard and colcannon, OMG! Really good sausages. Garlic butter noodles with parmesan cheese was great little find. The fish and chips were really tasty with homemade chips not fries! And a fucking awesome dipping sauce. We had appitizers and I remember they were good but for the life of me after the bangers I couldn't tell you what they were. Great place, great staff! Awesome food! read more

I was very hungry so I ordered a 6oz sirloin and on the menu it said fifteen dollars so I was shocked when the check said thirty dollar. I asked what was going on and the waiter told me that they had not updated their menu. and It's not my problem that y'all have not updated your menu and they still made me pay the 30 dollar.FIX YALLS MENU!!!!!!! Will not return read more

This place was terrible. I only gave it two stars as the gentleman (server taking to go orders) was very friendly. I used their restroom, looking for the men's. Well, this "restaurant" only has one. So had to wait in line. Then when I did get in, it smelled like urine all over the place. Lady in front of me told me to hold my nose and it wasn't her. And since I couldn't see any, it appeared to be caked into the ground. Paper towels were all over the place and no soap in the dispenser. I quickly got out of there. I attempted to order the Ruben with fries however I was told they only have appetizers due to shortage of staff. So I got the chips with sausage dip and then the sausage peppers with mustard sauce. The chips were so stale, I only ate 3. Then I couldn't even eat anymore it was so bad. The sausage & peppers were "ok". So disappointed that I spent $25, with tip- cause again, the server was so nice, on this place. Lesson learned. read more

Just had lunch at Toco Hills Salaryman. Excellent food, Japanese Old Fashion and great service. Give it a try. We'll worth it.

Tasty food, good atmosphere, and friendly serving staff make for a wonderfully Irish experience in the hills of North Georgia. The fish and chips were fabulous and we would definitely recommend them. The slaw is a bit different so we swapped out for a different side in its place. Definitely worth a stop for a delicious Irish themed lunch of dinner. They have both indoor and outdoor dinning options available. read more
