Shenanigan's Pub

I stopped at shenanigans for a quick snack and a beer before a night with friends. I used to live in the deer park neighborhood but haven't been back in 10+ years.It's still the same shenanigans. Bar food that's on point. Generous portion sizes with lowest prices. The same old but appropriately rustic interior. The interior was mostly regulars. The servers and the regulars were welcoming. What a great community pub.

Met friends here for a Thursday night dinner and liked that we were at a large round table so we could easily see and interact with everyone in the group. Plus, certain beers are $2 before 6 PM. I ordered a blackened chicken breast sandwich with a side of slaw. The slaw was delicious and a nice crunch. The chicken breast was huge and I was only able to eat half even though I was starving AND drinking beer (appetite enhancer!) and I loved the tomato, lettuce, and pickles. The bread was wimpy and bowed out soon after I ate a few bites, so I ditched it and focused on the chicken. Will return here and could be a regular if I move closer.Only drawback -- service was a tad slow, but the place was packed so it's understandable.

Shenanigan's is a fantastic neighborhood bar with lots of TVs and good food. I've been there twice, and both times really enjoyed it. The first time, my wife and I were on a long walk and in search for a watering hole to take a break. We walked right up to the bar, and had a few drinks along with some fun, friendly conversation. It was enough to know I'd be back. This week, I went with a friend to watch the College World Series and NBA Finals. For a Monday night in a neighborhood, it was pretty packed! Plenty of TVs that there really wasn't a bad view. Our service was great, and it was also timely.We ordered two pitchers of beer and some food. Price for a pitcher of Bud Light was $8, which seemed reasonable. We got pretzels and beer cheese to start, which hit the spot and left plenty of room for the burger I wanted. The Bellarmine Burger (bacon, BBQ, cheddar) had a nice, thick, paddy and was put on a delicious potato bun. I wasn't even starving, but I ate the entire thing because it was so good. The crinkled fries were a nice touch. My friend got the Aztec burger without the sauce, and also enjoyed his meal. Couple of random notes: the bathroom is very cramped. If you have a gluten allergy, they do have a few options, but make sure you talk to your server.I cannot imagine a better place to hang out if you're a Bellarmine grad or fan. This is a great neighborhood gem that can be both family-friendly and fun for a group of adults looking for a late night.

Firstly..called to ask if a certain NFL game would be on and the female employee was rude but did say it would be. We walked in to a basically empty place, sat down and requested a TV be put on our game. We were told no, that tv was already requested..Ok..We sat somewhere else and our young waitress was very nice and put the game on..NOONE EVER came to sit at the table and tv we requested, no one in the dining area was watching that game but it remained on..The audio was also of that game which we totally understand since there were 4 people at the bar watching.. The bartender was rude and clearly hates her job unless unless it's dealing with "regulars." The other tvs were playing the weather channel on a football Sunday.. This place could be a gem but is clearly controlled by a few regular, miserable customers and employees..Ridiculous.

Neighbor bar, what a gem tucked back in the neighborhood with only street parking. Such a fun find to watch the game, sip a few cold beers, eat some bar food with a few surprises! Chicken salad was fresh and in house with some very tasty seasoned green beans.Loved the place and service was very casual and we will keep coming back. With all the outside picnic tables our dogs can join in and the enjoy visit.

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch to catch up and to see if the place has changed. The place still feels like the neighborhood bar and they now have lots of picnic tables outside for outdoor seating. Service was great, they checked on you but they pretty much left you alone. We both got the Bellarmine burger mine was medium as ordered and my girlfriend ordered hers well done. Her burger came out with some pink to it. She didn't sent it back she just ate half of it. The burger was fairly decent size it came with bacon, cheddar cheese and was dressed. Parking is street parking so that is either a long walk or across the restaurant.

This is a fun local restaurant that offers a good space to sit and catch up with company. There is outdoor seating as well as indoor. Inside there are television screens that they can show sports games. The staff is always nice and attentive. This time I got the BLT sandwich which was stacked with bacon and thick slices of tomato. The fries are well seasoned and delicious. They give a large portion which is great. Another me got the grilled cheese and green beans, which they enjoyed. Other times I have been and got the potato skins which are a great appetizer to split with a group. I have also gotten the grilled chicken sandwich, which I enjoyed. Honestly, any entree that I have gotten has been good and very filling.

Love that they've got tons of picnic tables ad the outdoor seating option. It's got such a chill neighborhood vibe. Lots of ferns outside too!We sat inside though. For it being a Friday around 6, it never got that slammed. Busy ish but not overwhelming.We ordered beers. I got the lemon summer shandy recommended by our waiter while my friends got Bell's and a Gose.I had looked online at reviews and such and the Bellarmine burger seemed to be the top pick. I ordered that one. BBQ, cheddar, bacon, and fully dressed. Hold the onion.My friends got the Beyond burger and the Highland burger (standard burger btw). Nice to see the beyond burger taking off! So important we accommodate our vegetarian friends.Everything was good and wow I couldn't finish! The burger Patty was large! So thick! I had a third of the burger to bring home and it looked like half of a regular burger!The fries were seasoned and had a good crunch.My friends all loved what they got too.Lots of older retired looking people here as well as young adults, maybe some of whom go to Bellarmine. But I also saw a smaller handful of middle aged folks. The drinks aren't a bad price if that's the selling point!Our server was great! Very attentive, made sure we liked everything, and was helpful with the menu. She looked like a college student or maybe post grad.I parked on Norris, just a block away. It's parallel parking around here but not too hard to find!

I've been here twice so far now it's time to leave a review. This bar and restaurant is located on Norris place in a neighborhood, your only option is street parking or walking if you live close. I have a friend who lives within walking distance and we decided to eat lunch here on 2 separate occasions.First time we went, we both got the Bellarmine Burger. However my friend got fries and I got the Kettle chips. Our burgers were cooked well done and the bacon and bbq sauce on the burger was a good kind of different. Loved the smoked taste although the bacon could have been a bit more crunchy which is what I like. Second time, my friend got the Highland Burger and I got the Chicken tenders w/ bbq sauce. I liked how well cooked and crunchy the chicken tenders were. They were pretty big and I had to get a to go box because I couldn't finish it. My friend enjoyed their Highland burger. We happen to like the atmosphere of this place. It is a friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant. We both encountered the owner both visits and he is pretty good about checking on his customers and making you feel welcome and that is bonus points in my book. Staff was friendly and attentive, it did take some time to get our food but, we didn't get frustrated. Like most places it is hard to get any help so please be patient with them. The food was well worth the wait. They also have a full bar if you want any beer or liquor and you can sit at the bar now. There are only some local craft beer available. I would come here a lot more if I lived closer, I may get into more Shenanigans than necessary lol. This place is also perfect if you want to escape the busy Bardstown Road and Baxter Ave bars and restaurants because it's tucked away in a neighborhood. My friend and I will continue to support this business.

Horrible service, average food, inflated prices, lack of leadership. At least the beer is cold. The spot could be a great neighborhood restaurant. Sadly, it's not.
