Shenannigans
Editorial
There are way too many cliches which can be used and abused when reviewing an Irish pub. Talk about 'Irish eyes' (and are they anything like 'beer goggles'?) and the 'luck of the Irish' aside, Shenannigans is your home away from home when it comes to Guinness-fuelled, clover-flecked dreams. (I think we just invented a few new ones there.) The amount of Irish backpackers present at any one time is testament to the fact that this pace is more Irish than Bono.
Look past the hordes of young ones looking to further their skills at procreation and you'll find a haven of faux-Irish decorated love, complete with Guinness signs aplenty, wooden seating and booths (nothing helps you stay upright like being wedged in a booth), Irish-themed wall prints and ye olde faithful Irish smoking area (the Irish invented smoking right?). Pulling up a bar stool with a pint (16+ on tap!) of your favourite beer or cider and watching some sport just doesn't seem the same at home - that's why it feels so good at Shenannigans.
Naturally, St Patrick's Day (honestly, does anyone associate this day with the man's deeds, or just getting pissed?!) is the event of the year, with green booze flowing freely (but not for free) amid a plethora of silly hats. Take the next day off, as this place throws one hell of a party.
