One of the last truly special bars in the city. Always great.

Don’t come if you’re not white. Came for karaoke night and had the 1 song we requested (with a good tip) delayed over an hour in favor of people who just walked in. Then the KJ cut it off a minute early even though the whole bar was singing along. KJ is in a punisher shirt so should’ve expected it

If you like the Buffalo Bills, this is the place to be! Matt the bartender not only serves great drinks, he even plays the shout song when there is a Bills touchdown. They have Labatts on tap and pizzas. Love this place.

A terrible karaoke spot. Not nearly crowded enough to justify the wait times. Every time I've been to Shenanigans I have waited about three hours to sing a song. The DJ just acts as a juke box and lets people stacks countless songs so that you will hear the same dudes sing 5 songs each while you wait. Winnie's in Manhattan does a much better job of this despite being ten times more crowded. Many dive bars do a far better job of having a fun karaoke night. It stinks because this place is near my house, but I have tried 5 times or so and have just had an interminable experience regardless of how crowded it is. If you get there an hour before karaoke starts, your group can put in as many songs as they want, and you will sing them all immediately. If you arrive after karaoke has started, don't bother showing up if you want to to sing.

Love this bar! An amazing neighborhood vibe, and we love trivia on Wednesdays at 8pm with Mike bartending.

Best Buffalo Bills bar in NYC! Amazing community of football fans new and old. Labatt's on tap! Everyone is welcome and instantly becomes Bills Mafia family!!! GO BILLS!

This is a type of place you either love or stay away from. You know what I mean just by looking at It. Personally I love going here.
Very noisy. The owner has absolutely no respect for the neighbors. On August 12, after 10 am, explosions of very powerful firecrackers are heard.

Great, downhome local bar with friendly bartenders and friendly customers. They have great live music on Fridays @ 9 pm. Come on down this Friday 7/21 and see my band, “The Dirt Weeds”. No cover and enough room for dancing!

Found this bar while visiting nephew and family in Brooklyn. Went on Friday night. Great live band and friendly staff and patrons. Great neighborhood bar. Don't go there with an attitude. They don't need you anyway.

Went for the Sunday afternoon bluegrass sessions in the backyard a couple of times and had a fantastic time each
