Love this food. Reasonable. Nice portions. Fresh vegetables, never frozen!! They always had live music when I went.

All of the food was good, and it wasn't too expensive either.I got the Shenanigans chicken pasta from their daily specials menu. The sauce, pasta, vegetables, and everything was perfect, but the chicken was overcooked. Unfortunately, this wasn't just me, another person in my party ordered the same dish and their chicken was overcooked as well.Overall, still a good place, with a particularly amazing atmosphere. Warm lighting, the loud chatter of a bar, and while we were there, a live artist actually played, and it was really enjoyable.

We came in for a bachelor party around 11AM. Spent all day and night there at the bar, ate lunch and dinner. We spent $700+ between the 7 of us and that was just the one tab. We supported a police officers daughter and donated to her little children's parade that came in. Once it got crowded they had a line to get in but the bouncer was letting us back in because we are all smokers. Then some little bearded child that worked there decided he didn't want to let us back in for no reason. He claimed we were never there and started a screaming match outside with us. Then we proceeded to the next bar and he told them not to let us in. Then yelled and called one of us a C*nt. Maybe he was trying to show he was a tough guy but he definitely had little man syndrome and was very unprofessional. The bartenders were great and personable and the tall Irish bouncer around 1pm was great. But whoever staffed that little man child needs to reconsider someone else.

It was really good food within walking distance of the convention center. They had good drinks too.

My nachos were stale………however the burger wad delicious. Staff was ok. Great food and environment though, the chips were just beyond stale..

The waitress, Mary H., helped herself to an extra tip, on top of a good tip I already gave, by charging my card more. I have my receipt and statement that do not match. Super classy. I missed the 60 day window to report it. Even if I did like the food (mediocre), I will not be going back.

Went here last night with family and friends (6) to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Really busy and loud (Sunday and football) so ok. Got drinks and service was good. Placed our orders off the menu and everything is normal until the food shows up, the kitchen had missed one of the orders (surf and turf) which the server apologized for over and over again. When the meal did show up, everyone else had finished their meals. We understand mistakes being made so we moved on without issue, but this gets worse. At the same time as all of this, the food that did show up wasn't prepared very well (see pic) but we wanted to keep everything positive for our daughter's birthday so we didn't say anything, ok, that's on us and this is beside the point anyway. As we left, my wife found the manager and let him know that we felt he didn't support his staff by acknowledging the missing order issue with us. When confronted the manager who said he was aware of the situation said "so" and "get out of my face". Wow! We don't write a lot of reviews and we only do when the message is positive but this one is too bad to let slide. Should a manager, or at least the kitchen, acknowledge this issue or should they just put it on the server (which happened here)? I hope this manager will get retrained but in the meantime, we can all decide if we want be here, we know we do not. These pics are the Short Rib and the Surf and Turf, all cooked to desiccation. The bay scallops were briny. The server was good.

Shenannigans is a great spot for lunch or dinner. The food is delicious and an excellent value. We had the pizza and a teriyaki chicken salad and I would highly recommend both. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They also have ample seating - both indoor and outdoor.

Good place to stop in, watch a game, and have a beer. Tuna wontons was great but was more of a dip, and that wasn’t expected. Salmon could use some seasoning but overall was fine.
Excellent cocktails wow!! And you CANNOT go wrong with the fish and chips. Literally falling apart deliciousness.

Waitress/Bartender was excellent. Mature staff know how to please customers. My wife and I had chicken pot pie and lamb gyro, both excellent. We are both picky and were not disappointed. We were nervous Kansans going to Boston for 1st time but most everyone we met were very nice.

Went to Shenannigan's last week based upon Trip Advisor, it was a great pick. Sat at the bar. Outstanding pint of Guinness and a lovely bartender (Ciara). Had a super short rib dinner with a mountain of mashed potatoes and a mound of vegetables. VERY large portions and reasonable prices. Will return next time in Southie.

Shenanigans is great. More low key than the main bars in Southie but still great vibes. Good drinks, surprisingly good food, and great atmosphere. In the summer they've got a great outdoor space as well! Highly recommend the John Daly
