Fell into the Shenanigans Not a typical option for me especially since Yard house is a hop away...however this served its purpose as an alternative place to get a drink. In my opinion, its Definitely a bar hop place and not a hang out at the bar place read more

I don't know what it is about this place. I like it and dislike it all at once. The bartenders are okay. They're nice, but they're eh. I guess I have to come in more often to catch their outgoing bartender personality-if they have one. There's an E-juke, which is cool. Lots of seating, and pool tables. Overall good potential, but I'm just not too sure yet! read more

So I read the other reviews and there are a few things I would like to contradict: Firstly, the service has been nothing but wonderful for me. I work in bar/restaurant industry and I was impressed by how catered to I was. Hasn't mattered what day or what time or who was working, the employees were so on it I nearly felt pampered. My first time in I was going to go sit at the bar and watch a game and have a beer, the place was PACKED and I hadn't even barely got through the door before one girl asked me if I needed anything. I told her I was headed to the bar and she asked what I wanted to drink so that she could get my order in right away while I scootched my way up there. Only took another thirty seconds to find myself a seat and I had barely sat down before boom my beer was placed in front of me. And the girl, despite busyness, said hi and asked how my day had gone and checked in to make sure I was pleased with my beer. All smiles. I think customer connection is SO IMPORTANT and I can not stress enough how just that little interaction got my whole experience off on a wonderful foot. And it wasn't just that time, it's been every time. Second, Scott W. needs to take off his Superman shirt because the only thing super about him is his dickishness. I'm sorry, I've tried Gallagher's a few times, and if I never ever go back I think my quality of life will only be better. As much as he wants to stress it, they aren't some authentic Irish bar either. Maybe Scott hasn't noticed, but there is an "Irish Pub" on pretty much EVERY SINGLE block in Long beach, and none of them are going to be the slice of Ireland he seems to demand. I have personally never been to Ireland, so I'm not on a hunt to reconnect with it, but I value experience. Gallagher's in particular, not only were the servers slow and unhelpful but the customers were obnoxious too. And the location isn't anywhere near as enjoyable. Shenanigans is new and building, but I think they are off to a wonderful start, reasonably priced, and the food is delicious. Also as far as crowd goes, I've mostly seen older Long Beachers, boat owners, Yacht Club fellas, and only the occasional tourist. A well-rounded crowd for a nice time! I go to Shenanigans at least a couple times a week. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with coworkers, sometimes with my dogs (who are treated like ROYALTY), and sometimes alone. Sometimes I'm there to watch a game, or sketch, or just zone out with a coffee and beer and watch the boats and the sunset. The owners always come say hi and check in, which I absolutely LOVE. And the bartenders? I think ONCE I've specified how I like certain things and certain drinks specific ways, and I haven't had to say it again because they remembered. Also, every time I go I meet someone new sitting at the bar or on the patio and end up with an evening of lovely conversation. And the music? LOVE IT. So in short, I love this place in every aspect. Being in the industry I am exceedingly pleased to see such a new business start off like this, and I can't wait to watch them grow. read more

Omg, what a terrible place to have a beer at. I dont know where the patrons in this place come from, as shoreline village has no housing near it and it is pretty much a tourist destination. I was told by my date that the fish and chips here is totes awesome. Being that I wasnt hungry I didnt order them. I just had a glass of coors light. Kind of a rauchous bar with loud patrons. The place is dirty too. tables sticky, its like the whole place needs to be hosed down. I should have went to Tequila Joes or the yard house. I felt gross being here. read more

My husband and I have been here twice now and will definitely go back any time we're in the Long Beach area. I would come here just for the Chicken Strips. They are beer battered strips of fried deliciousness! We sat outside both times and it's a perfect spot for food, drinks, and people watching. We also had the onion rings which were great as well. read more

There's not that much selection when it comes to their drinks. They only have one restroom. You have to wait in line. Geez! What a nightmare so if u drink a lot of beer and there's a long line... Ur screwed! Wear pampers when u go to this place that way you can drink a lot. read more

The service was good here despite havering a full house and 3 folks working. I had the fish and chips and my girl had the Ruben. The main dishes were very good. The fries were so so! I like the atmosphere here and will be back again! read more

Theresa Thank u for writing back it's much appreciated. I believe I've mentioned what types of food we ordered in my previous review and the times DO VARY depending on what type of food is being ordered, so burgers come out faster than a plate of eggs? Interesting. Thank u for the invite back but this experience has still left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be returning unless the waitresses/waiters use a notepad to write down your customer orders in hopes that they can get it correct. I failed to mention in my original review that my family and I weren't the only table whos orders were wrong and took too long. There were two other tables that day near us that also were experiencing the same issue. Best of luck. read more

First, i never leave bad reviews. This place is nasty. The bar maid was rude, short, and too busy to be bothered. The only thing worse than the bartender was the food... An indescribably pointless culinary experience. Ive had a better dining experiences in jail... I ordered a beer and asked to close out my tab... The lady was so rude about it that i wound up just leaving the beer... read more

Wow what a great experience, I live in Glendale and was visiting the aquarium and stopped for some lunch with my wife, I love all things Irish and was amazed on how great the food was, delicious and perfect portions, to top it off the staff was outstanding. I really enjoyed the restaurant Will definitely come back again. read more

Shenanigans - Inside the restaurant from our table - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time there. Neighborhood bar environment, had so much fun! Food was delicious. Fish and chips, grilled cheese and tomato soup, both were top notch. Outside tables, by choice, right on the marina. Going again tomorrow! read more

Yo I paid cash on a bar tab and they still charged my card. I paid 120 cash + 120 on my card. My bud that got charged 40 dollar tab ended up getting charged 49.90 ?? They doing some shady thangs at this place. I sent an email to the email they told me too. It's been a few days and no response. Horrible. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! The staff is always friendly and the food is always great! AND they are Pirate Friendly!!!

I dont like this place! I can here b/c I saw a deal on www.livingsocial.com I couldn't even use the deal!!! I was not 2 happy about that! The food was not good! The only thing was okay was the 6 piece chicken wings & the soft drink. The nachos was nasty (even with added chicken which I paid for with less then few pieces of chicken)! The server was nice! Parking was $1 with validated with the first 2 hours! My friend, I dont think liked the food either!! I will NOT be coming back!!!!!!! https://www.livingsocial.com/cities/38-long-beach/deals/917107-30-to-spend-on-food-and-drink read more

Only giving it 2 stars because the blonde headed female bartender is better than the dark haired tattooed female, (night bartender) and I believe she deserves a star for herself. The blonde suggested Tito's for my Cran and vodka (during the day and was very friendly). It's definitely different than my goose I'm used to in it. I can dig it, along with the silver patron shots. I dislike that when you walk-in you seat yourself rather than being seated. So it's definitely a waiting game to get some service. Seems like the bartenders are also the patios waitress which makes no sense to me. Garlic fries are $5, side salad is $5, pretty much all the menu is overpriced and overrated. Cool part I guess would be that they have live music on weekends if you're into that. Also if you're not into cigarettes I'd highly suggest sitting inside. Otherwise you'll feel like you're in the middle of an ashtray. read more

Fantastic Thanksgiving meal! I think the moistest turkey I've had, thick carved ham with a sweet spicy glaze, crispy tender baby squash, yummy yams, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. All for $20. Our server Eric was wonderful as well. It was also my birthday celebration and they kindly stashed the cake until it was time to surprise me! Later Tony was our server and as always he's fantastic. Thanks Shenanigans! read more

I'm a little bias but the Breakfast/Brunch is really unassuming and terrific! You can design your own breakfast with the Da's Favorite with your style of eggs, a meat protein, one of 2 styles of potatoes or fruit and toast/tortilla. Weekend bottomless mimosas go until 1pm for $12!! And have a Bloody Mary with your choice of spicy level. Delicioussssss read more

I had the pleasure of coming in to one of my favorite spots-- greeted by the new, yet amazing bartender Chrissany. My drinks were punctual and made with love! Best drinks ibe had in a while, all included with a smile, good conversation, and great knowledge of the menu and local ammentitites in the Long Beach area. I will definitely be coming back-- solely due to the contagious smile and attitude chrissany consistently provides at shenanigans. 5 stars! And I recommend this amazing Irish, waterside pub to all my friends. Thank you shenanigans and thank you Chrissany! read more

Now I know I'm a regular, so why am I giving 4 stars? Well, the beer is hit or miss here. Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's not. However they make a mean ginger ale and Jameson, not skimpy on the whiskey at all. They have lots of tvs so you can watch whatever games are on and there's a pool table. I'm not a fan of their unisex restroom (singular), but hey when you gotta go, you gotta go. Regardless of the warm beer, it's close to home, it's cheap, the servers are cool, and the wings are ALWAYS so good. read more

Shenanigans - He LOVES the wings here - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

Waitresses are always nice.Love the food & atmosphere.Been coming here since I was a Kid..

Shenanigans apparently didn't get the memo that it's 2016 and smoking sections are not acceptable anymore. Came in here while looking for a place to eat because the restaurant we planned on going to had a long wait. Sat at the bar and ordered a beer. The entire inside area absolutely reeks of cigarettes from Shenanigan's outdoor smoking patio. I don't know what management expects, there's no magical spell containing the smoke outside, and this thing called wind exists, so the smoke naturally flows inside. If not for the smoke, we had fully planned to stay and eat. Instead, we finished half our drinks and just bailed. I'd rather wait 30 minutes for Tequila Jack's than eat dinner in an ashtray. read more

Every year I fly from NYC to the beautiful Mesopotamia by the water they call Long Beach to work ComplexCon. And every year, after long hours dealing with sneaker heads and hype beasts my coworkers and I need a drink to wet our whistles. And you know where we go to get a nice, cold, refreshing sudsy boi? We come to Shenanigans! A beacon of light in the cold dark night that brings our ships home to port. To all you nay-sayers out there giving this beautiful establishment a 1 Star review, I say SHAME ON YOU. Shame on you for not understanding true beauty that's right in front of your face. My only negative review is that I can only come to this fine establishment once a year, but the magic will stay with me a lifetime. Magic is real. Magic is Shenanigans. PS try the Irish Nacho read more

Mike, Andi, and Scott are awesome. Great drinks and super friendly staff. Highly recommend hitting this Irish pub up whether for breakfast or drinks check it out read more

Came with my fellow Keller williams agents and had an amazing time. Thanks. Friendly staff and great vibe.

I called and specifically asked if they had a particular game on and a particular beer. I was informed by two different employees that yes, this game would be put on and yes, they did have that exact beer. Neither were true. I should have known because I was being rushed off of the phone. When we walked in and the bar seating was mostly empty but we were informed by a drunk patron that we could not sit there as she was saving all the bar stools! The bar staff not only let her claim all the empty chairs but also agreed with her. After about 45 minutes all stools were still empty. The bartender tried for about a minute to put our game one and then came over and told us she couldn't because the game was over. It was not, I was listening to the radio of the game through my app. They claimed to have a particular type of beer and even though I had asked them to check while on the phone they actually did not have it, they had something similar. We were hungry but once we sat down at a table the waitresses ignored us so we left. Unless you are a tourist desperately in need of food, I'd find another establishment. read more

Seemed like a tourist joint..I went in there for lunch one day. Had some potroast or beefbone on the menu, actually pretty good. I came in one day when we had that heatwave in Sept. Hot as a mother in there..NO a/c!! Very little fans.. Ordered STELLA beer on tap..it was WARM!! Then had to switch to cheap Pacifico bottle a little colder. OVERALL..when I go into a joint on a hot friggin day and want a friggin cold beer..Dont give me a warm ass beer on tap.Tell me its not cold and I will order a bottle from freezer read more

I come here weekly with my dogs and do lunch . I mainly come here because there's an outside patio that is dog friendly. Today my two dogs and I came in and got our usual table . I always order my dogs a burger patty . Today I was told dogs are not allowed to eat on the patio . The only reason I honestly come here is for the convenience of the outdoor patio and the dogs being able to sit with me . Also for the first time I was asked for a credit card for them to hold onto . I can see if I was racking up a bar tab however I ordered a sandwich and Diet Coke (18 bucks ) LOL . I also almost always carry / pay with cash . So what would of happened if I didn't have a card with me ? Anyways all the other restaurants here at shoreline village are dog friendly so we won't be coming here again. read more

The service was great, NIcole was very attentive to us. we order the Barney sampler and it was all good. The beer selection was great and the Ambience was great too. First time here and for sure NOT THE LAST ONE EITHER... read more

Not sure how this place has 3 star rating. Probably all just white folks. Racist bar? Absolutely! Asked for a card to start a tab when I went to lunch with my 10 yo child. I owned a bar so I know the game. Other white folks sat next to us and a they never asked them for a card. Typical. I'd five the zero stars but it is not possible. Of course Theresa will comment some rebuttal below about how she's sorry I feel this way and how they ask for cards for all customers except for the regulars and how she would welcome me again. Thats called manipulation and damage control, read all her other comments and you will see the pattern. Sort of like this: customer says "fish was not fresh", her reply is "it the freshest fish we could find during covid". Reader says "oh that makes sense". The reality is fish is old and about to expire but they dont want to toss it cause they will lose money. Plenty of fish out there, they just dont care. Rats in kitchen? No, those are our rat friends like Ratatouille. Dont bother posting BS below theresa, we know you are full of shi...... read more

Decided to go out to celebrate an Anniversary. I have yet to experience really bad service or food in Shoreline Village- that is until today. Took the waiter a half an hour to bring my water. I decided to order the Fish and Chips even though I do not usually order fried foods often..I figure well it's a celebration day so Irish Pub...why not? The Fish and Chips were absolutely gross! I could fry my over easy eggs tomorrow morning with the old tasting bad oil residual literally dripping off the Fish! Is this an Irish place? Also be aware if you visit this place you had better order your cocktails the first time they decide to come around because it will be another 30 minutes before they return. Staff tries to be apologetic for the long wait, that's fine once maybe twice but 5 times??? So aggravating. The whole staff look like they hate their jobs and would rather stand around and socialize. Including the security guy sitting very comfortably in front when I asked politely if we wait to be seated and his response was " What does the sign say"? I turn around cause I had come from the Boardwalk entrance so the sign was behind me!! Can't believe he gets paid to do that. This place should be called Shennananeveragain! $60 wasted. Will never go back. Management has definitely given up their passion and pride. Someone needs to give Gordon Ramsey a call! read more

Shenanigans - The worst Fish and Chips I have ever had. Taste like old grease, could not finish. No filters-look at the grease. Gross. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here to grab a drink with the girlfriend and something to snack on. We decided to sit on the couch. You've been warned. If you do not want to fall asleep on the couch, then sit on the table. It's quite comfortable and soft. We ordered a spinach dip to snack on, ahi tuna and two beers. She got the half Guinness and half another sort of beer, which was called Black and Tan, while I got the Raspberry chocolate Guinness. Don't let the Raspberry fool you, it was not sweet. The Guinness had a hint of the raspberry taste, overall taste, wasn't not bad. Spinach dip wasn't bad. According to girlfriend, the ahi was just okay and pretty small for an appetizer. Service wasn't too bad since we were by the bar and the bartender and waitress were walking by us most of the time, so it was easy for us to wave them down. From our view, we able to observe how the bar seats were. People who sit by the bar seems like they're regular since the bartenders know them by names and if not, they will eventually do. Their pours on well drinks are well poured, so I would recommend to get your own type of liquor instead of beer if you are not a beer person. There are patio seats and front patio seats. Maybe we'll give this place another try next time for their brunch. read more

When I came w/ my family the ambiance was very Erie to me because the place seem racist every person that wasn't white had plastic cups but only white people had glasses to drink in & I had to pay for my food before I receive it because that was their policy but I didn't see any posting anywhere that said that so I would never go back read more

Good Irish food, great service, excellent location. I'll be back and I'll bring friends!

My review is for their Taco Tuesday. They have several tacos to choose from with different prices starting at $1.50 each. The tacos are delicious and to top it off the beers are $4 each. Can't go wrong here! But note they only serve tacos on Tuesdays. read more

Cannot really give a full review- menu was not that impressive and they were a bit limited on beer selections. Maybe next time we will stay longer then the 10 minutes we were there. read more

We needed breakfast before our cruise and Irish Pubs are always on my radar. We stopped here and were not disappointed. The food was great without a long wait. We ordered off the breakfast menu and had bottomless mimosas. The staff was friendly and attentive. Price was very reasonable for the area. Our waitress was great. Definitely a place to go if your in the area. read more

I do not give any reviews from here ; unfortunately, this has to be my first with a BAD review. We had a horrible waitress ; who did not attend to us for refills etc.. Her name was Shelly, I do not recommend service from her. She seem irate and discriminating. read more

By far the worst service I've ever had. I have been a patron at this location several times, I like bringing friends here to have a drink listen to live music and enjoy the food they have. I came in on Sunday around 6 and the staff was drunk, I waited next to a dirty table for 15 minutes before one of my friends cleared it off for the staff. Then the birthday girl from he'll came by to take our order, inform us she was the only person working and that this restaurant doesn't have waiters only "caring bartenders who get to you when they have free time" this girl was so hammered not only was she slurring her words but she couldn't keep her eyes open! We placed 2 orders with her that were never delivered to us, when we asked her why it was taking so long she blatantly told us that she forgot and will probably forget again. She dropped of 4 drinks that were not what we ordered then brought half the table shots for some reason. She was "cleaning" tables with a rag covered in ketchup and God knows what else, until my friend pointed out the health hazard of her choice. Oh and the staff that was not working was all near by drinking!! One of the waiters even stuffed her face: mouth, nose, and ears with cigarettes! Disgusting service. The only angel at the bar was the young man who took over our table and handled being a server but we didn't have him for long. By the end of this experience we got double charged, the card on the tab got rung up even tho we asked to pay cash. One of the bus boys told me he would reverse the charge, so my table proceeded to pay cash ($200) we were trying to review the receipt but there was no manager to discuss why were were over charged. Being a group who works at a bar we paid cash and went on our way, hoping that management would reach out because not only is the charge still on the card left for tab but now the staff also has our cash!!! I would give them 0 stars of i could and I will not bring out of town guests back to this mismanaged hell hole. I hope the owner of this place reads my post because his staff was so impolite and unprofessional they should all be fired. read more

Shenanigans - The staff playing games instead of working. Great work ethics especially since you were next to a table with 3 kids. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

The food was excellent. The portions were terrible. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. Be prepared to eat mostly potatoes, but not a lot because they don't give you that much to begin with. My bf had the fish and chips. That was good. They give you big pieces. The service was ok. The server seemed as if she was having a terrible morning. If she did she didnt try to hide, or maybe she just had a bad personality..who knows. read more
