BarFly's Review of Shanahan's Pub
Old-fashioned lunch counter set up with a game room in the back. Good juke, nice big wooden booths. Pool x4, darts x2, video games. Patio. Food till 11pm. $1.50 select pints 4-7pm M-F (till 6 Sat).
Happy Hours
This is a dive bar that is quite comfortable. We go here when we want some drinks, and want to talk or play pool. The music is never too loud and the bar tenders are friendly. Their food is great too. They have some of the best smoked corned beef sandwiches ever, and their pulled-pork is fantastic.

college night on wednesdays. gets pretty crowded with a by-the-hour dj. contests include wet tshirt, best lap dance, etc. pretty immature crowd, but entertaining. large outdoor smoking area, 4 pool tables, lots of seating in front room. bouncers are really nice till you f*ck up, then your out.

Shanahan's is a fab little neighborhood bar, just dive-y enough without being a total skankfest. Personally, I prefer it before 10 on a weekend, because that's when the inexplicable fratboys show up and start being obnoxious. All the waitresses have nice racks; the food is greasy but delicious; the music usually doesn't suck; and they know how to pour Guinness. Service can be slow when it's busy, but that's the same everywhere. Look for the resident 85 year old guy at the bar with the "WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION" t-shirt with an arrow that points to his dick. All in all, one of the better bars in The Couve.
