For decades, the Irish public house has been a social and community hub for the people of Ireland. It functions as both a place to consume alcohol at leisure as well as a place in which to meet and greet the people of a locality.
Irish people will have a pub which they refer to as ‘the local’. There is generally a very close and informal relationship between the customer and the bar staff and, in many cases the regular customers will know each other very well.
Shenanigans goal is to be “the local” in Long Beach, California, the social hub for locals and visitors alike. We provide the fun, friendly atmosphere where everyone can enjoy a drink, good food and good company.
Easygoing spot with beers & standard pub fare, plus multiple TVs for sports & occasional live music.

this is such a cute pub with friendly staff. went around dinnertime on Sunday and there was a duo playing live music and folks dancing around on the patio seating. there were folks playing pool inside too and watching the game. food wise we ordered the loaded tots with corned beef, a cheeseburger, garlic fries, and clam chowder. the chowder was very good, very fresh since it’s right by the sea. for drinks we got the Guinness (a must for an Irish pub!), a snake bite (Guinness inside of a cider, very yum), and a Tokyo tea (not pictured but strong and delicious). most importantly, we were offered parking validation!

Didn’t take pics but saw the live band playing 80’s hits and ate some good food with drinks. Perfect date night and a little football too.
It was only my second time here and both times have been good to me.

Overall an enjoyable experience. The restaurant is all self seating so when you get there just find a table and hang tight for a server to come to you! The servers and bus boys were very nice. Security was nice as well. There is a band that was playing outside and the music in the interior was a little loud but on the back patio it wasn’t too loud. They have sports playing on the TVs as well.
The food was good. It came out hot. The fries were nice and crispy!
The zucchini and calamari was good, I personally like my fried zucchini to be a bit more crunchy but it was still very good.
Sweet potato fries had sugar on them instead of salt. Definitely sweet, but what else do you expect for sweet potato fries? Very good, would go back again!

Visited the place twice in last 3 days.
Two different experiences
Day one was great. Had great drinks and the food was awesome. Bangers and mash and fish n chips. Both were great.
2nd day, sat at the table and ordered via the scan code. For some time no one served us our drinks. My friend had to go to the bar to get our drinks.
Recommend, if you are not seeing the online orders, take out the scan codes.

Amazing food. Irish themed food. Great night life. They had a love band playing last night. Great atmosphere. Not sure on service. No one came to offer service so we just ordered online via the table qr code. So we just went with that and the service kind of “activated” after that.

Great Irish pub atmosphere. The standard corned beef and cabbage is exactly what it should be! Same for fish n chips ! Drinks better be good and they are! The nutty Irishman shot is a must. Jameson mules. You can return many times for the live music.

We loved the live music which they have every weekend. Today they had a two man band called Steady Rockwell on 1-1-25. They were very talented, eclectic, and open by allowing a customer sing a song with them. The vibe was great! We sat outdoors where they had heated lamps since it was about 55-60 degrees and it made it feel comfortable. The corned beef burger $17.33 was very good (even if a little salty) with very little fat and the meat was cooked very well but not burned and not overcooked and it had the coming off the bone feel where you could eat it like string cheese which I love, and the burger itself had a fried potato pancake as the bottom layer and healthy coleslaw on top of the meat. The bread was toasted just right… only thing is I wish there were Swiss cheese melted and sautéed onions in there… to add to the flavor. But overall quality meat burger and the fries were just right and crispy. The wait staff were very very attentive and I would say they were the top 1% as they kept asking us if we needed anything so we never had to flag anyone down. The security guard was nice too. Easygoing and friendly but professional. It’s situated with all the shopping on the pier so you can also have a water view and enjoy live music while eating and drinking. Parking is the public lot you pay for right across the way in about 10-15 steps at $10 max if you get validation at a restaurant. Shenanigans gives validation. By the hour the parking fee is $1 for every 20 minutes after the first hour. Without validation it’s a lot more. They have an ATM inside.

Quite excellent food. Hubby had the fish & chips, I had the veggie wrap (spicy). We share the lava cake which was a tad over baked, hardly a liquidy center, but still very good.
Live music, which was loud, but fun if you’re into that. We sat on the patio much quieter. Good service. The drink cucumber strawberry, was tasty but weak for my taste.

This was the last stop before leaving California!! We were here at Shore Village to have the delicious funnel cakes with ice cream around the corner from this restaurant when we decided to have a meal first before the sweets!! So we came here and the food was delicious.! I jad the veggie wrap with the spicy hummus, soooo goood!! With a side salad, we also ordered hamburgers with fries, pancakes, tacos, chicken nuggets with fries, and mozzarella sticks! Everything was made fresh! Definitely coming back again when we’re back!
The server was very nice and accommodating to our orders( as some people wanted breakfast and others wanted lunch) he was really nice.! At the time we were leaving the live band was getting set up ,wish we could have stayed but we needed to come home to Az.

Nice bar next the boardwalk and water. They have outside seating in front to enjoy the water view and a patio area where they have bands play during the day and night which is great during a hot summer night. The food is good and the chef really trys hard to make it right. The drinks are a bit high. They have large TV to watch your favorite game.
