9 reviews for Shenanigans Pub
Shenanigans is my second home. It's got that Cheers-like atmosphere. Everybody knows everybody. The type of place where you can leave your purse behind at the bar while you go to the bathroom and nobody will mess with it.
Almost every Saturday night (unless there is a wedding or death in the "family" - in that case, the whole bar basically shuts down), Eddie Mac sets up karaoke and attracts quite the crowd. As of late, with the recent expansion of the G line, you've seen a wide variety of hipsters coming through with the wind. But it's okay - my favorite bartender, JR, says there's only been three incidents in the many many years he's been at 'Nanergans.
If you're looking for a karaoke spot with cheap booze and a good crowd, look no further. And everybody clap!

I haven't made it for karaoke night yet, but this is a great neighborhood bar and I went there with some folks from the neighborhood. Very Irish, and with a very basic booze and beer selection (no good rums, but if the owners are reading this, get some Mount Gay or Appleton Estate) and a heavily stacked digital jukebox.
Hm, do I not have enough to say? I'll go back and get drunk with some friends, and return with a story.
The place is AWESOME!!!
the beer is cheap and the crowd is mixed but usually very friendly.
Saturday night karaoke is the best and Eddie Mac is awesome.
back yard is very nice in the summer too.
my favorite place to hangout after work.
In life, sometimes you are called upon to be a very good friend. And sometimes being a very good friend means riding further on the F than you ever have except for that time you went to Coney Island. That was REALLY far.
Shenanigan's is in Kensington. Have you heard of Kensington? Me neither, until my friend S moved there. Kensington is a lovely enough place, and it is only made lovelier by the presence of Shenanigans, sitting unassumingly across the Ocean Parkway overpass from where S lives.
Shananigans is full of magical surprises, most magically surprising perhaps being that you can smoke here. Me no likey the smoke, but me likey the irreverent disregard for laws and things. Also magical is Eddie Mac's Saturday Night Karaoke party!!! Because you are in Kensington, you are the only person here, and you will have the mic basically to yourself, except for the occasional Eastern European ex-pat.
So you see, Shananigans makes it really not so hard to be a very, very good friend. When your friends live in Kensington.

My friends and I journeyed all the way to Kensington to go to this local neighborhood bar for Saturday Kareoke. It was a fun mix of locals and hipsters, and not too crowded so we got plenty of turns on the mike. Drinks were very cheap too! A fun time if you are out in Brooklyn.

Old guy Irish bar on a forgotten street in Kensington. I've seen minivans dropping their alcoholic grandpas off here noonish, but I'd never stopped in until tonight. A little after 11:30 on a Tuesday, I don't expect a bar to be slammin', but there was no one in there but me and the ancient barkeep. Court TV cranked to 100. I saw the Guinness signs and ordered one. He cracked a can into a pint glass, which he placed on some oscillating tesla coil vibrating jimmyjobby. "I've never seen it done like that, sir." He assured me it's the newest thing. Whatever. It had ok head, but tasted more like toothpaste than stout. I also don't think a can of beer, no matter how you shake it up, should cost $5.
Still, this is the closest English speaking bar to me, and the good old boys who emerged from the card game in the back room waxed philosophical about the state of the economy and politics. I got a half pint of cold Bud for free somehow too.
If you've got an old guy to take to a bar, Shenanigan's might be the place.

Ahhh Shenanigans. I moved to Kensington last year, and whenever I want to go out, but not you know, out out; I head over here. John the bartender is a pretty great guy and friendly. We usually go there with our friends who live in Flatbush, and take over the back patio when it's nice out. We've also brought our friend's dog with us as well. I usually stick to going there on Fridays.
Cheap drafts and a welcoming attitude. Bring stuff to barbecue in the summer. Just go out back, you're free to use the grill. They even provide condiments. Whenever I go, I talk to everyone. Very neighborhoody. Fosters on tap is sorta weird, but nice.
