Customer Review

I found this pub to be absolutely fantastic. It had both AFL and Rugby, live music, nice design and great beer selection/prices. There are very few pubs in Australia with coopers red on tap so it is great to see. I will be making a lot of return visits to shenanigans

Overpriced drinks and rubbish food. Entertainer was good. Service was the worst I've had in the usually very friendly NT. Couldn't even get the order correct. Useless.

Amazing meal ( Halloumi salad) value for money. Music and atmosphere spot on, and the staff were lovely and helpful.
1st time visit to Shenanigans and will definitely be a place I visit again

No wonder this place is always busy! $18 lunch special is fantastic. Large Parma and a schooner of beer. Best value in town.

$7.00 imperial pints of any beer from 4.00pm to 7.00pm daily. Coopers Sparkling ale on tap which makes me happy. The beer is cold and tastes great. Always people here even when the rest of Darwin is quiet. Plenty of screens to watch sport and live music to listen to. Friendly place to come and have a beer, meet people, dance and enjoy.

Beers are very nice and cold. Food is cheap and delicious; big serves. Service is good. A little bit noisy for the average bear, but its not too bad. The specials are worthwhile, $18 for large lunch and beer or happy hour beers are good value.

Shenannigans has been my regular for several years. It offers everything a discerning pub connoisseur could want in a venue, with a laid back atmosphere, great live music, awesome staff, top-notch food, an excellent Guinness pour and a convenient place to watch the NRL. I recommend it to locals and visitors alike.

A great atmosphere; the authentic Irish bar decor; staff with top-notch chat and the best pint of Guinness in Darwin is the reason why Table 1 at Shenanigans has been my local, second office and club house since 2017.

Ordered the croc bites since I've never had them. They were very good to me... But I have nothing to compare too. Fast service on the day I visited. I sat at a table outside and used the QR code at the table to order. i had my food delivered quite quickly. Not a fan of ordering at the bar. I miss table service.

This place appears very popular. Each time we went past, there were lots of people. I found it to be WAY too loud. We went for a meal and left as soon as we finished. We usually pike to hang around for a few drinks and kick on for a bit but we couldn't get out of there fast enough. The portion sizes were very large. The salad was just mixed lettuce leaves. THAT IS IT! The prawn salad was very average.

As a Murphy this Irish Hotel is a magnet.
Wonderful food, great service with The Lilt, home away from home.
Big range of beers and stout, great menu with lunch specials, seemingly a magnet for attractive people, and the world passes by outside.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy life in its many shapes and forms

I dropped in mid-afternoon and must have missed out on the quality food coming out of the kitchen. The parmigiana was average to below average, chips weren't hot and the salad was measly. Wasn't the cheapest either. Cold beer though!

Went early Friday dinner, a couple of customers were singing beautifully, customers clapping, fab atmosphere, everyone happy, untill staff turned on awful music, way too loud. The singing table left, 5tables of people -including us, walked out on verandah (just as noisy), asked to turn it down even a bit, but no, we all voted with our feet. So the place lost at least 6tables of paying customers (during slow season)... Food was huge portions, but overcooked, dry.

Great Big Breakfast at this wxcellent Irish Pub in the heart of Darwin. The breakfast was huge, too much food for only $24. Great value for such a big serve.
Such a great pub! Staff are so friendly $7 pints at Happy Hour from 4pm.

Great place to drop in to escape the heat, sat right near the fan, lifesaver! Staff were good, had the Garlic Prawn Pizza, that good I forgot to take a photo.
Here for a week so will pop in for an $18 lunch.

I ordered angus rump Medium Rare from Uber eater, but it looked and tasted like over well-done.

Do recommend visiting on a Tuesday for trivia night. Food was reasonably priced. Pepperoni pizza was very good but do recommend it as a share between 2. Others said Steak was good. Drinks were a little pricey at $5 a glass of coke.

This place use to be my favs for a go to pub lunch.But today very disappointed , my husband and I ordered both parmi, we paid three dollars more than usual, we thought "well everything is going up" so that was fine.
But food came , half a size than we normally get, and it was burned , and chips taste horrible and burned as well. The size of the side salad is a very small portion as well.

First time in Darwin and saw shenanigans so we thought we would check it out. Nice looking pub and we arrived in time for happy hour. Ordered dinner and I wanted to have garlic prawns as a main meal but they only had it in entree size so after a while it was sorted to get a main but it had to come with rice which I thought would have been a given even for an entree size . My friend ordered steak, anyway an hour went by so we asked how much longer and was told 5 to 10 minutes. When our food arrived I received a small bowl of prawns swimming in soupy garlic liquid and a separate bowl of rice and my friend received a charcoal bit of steak. We committed to a waitress who didn't seem to care much and we left very disappointed.

Thanks for replying
We would like our money back

I mean who doesn't love an Irish themed pub? Drink specials aplenty, a good pour of the black velvety goodness and you had me. Worth a pint yourself..

Very high quality food. Much more like a restaurant than a pub when it comes to a meal. Friendly staff, and a fairly typical Irish pub setting. Worth eating here!

The place looks great, has all the ascetics of an Irish Pub. Meals were great, we both had a $15 lunch that came with a beer so they were good value, thought $11 was a bit over the top for a lemmon lime and bitters how ever it was good.
You need to show proof of vaccination to go in, which is fine, they are strict on that.
Only thing that let them down on the day was the 2 staff members all though they wern't rude as such, they did not at all seem happy to be there or to have to serve you, niether cracked any pleasantries or a smile, they just done there job.. not the norm you'd expect in an Irish pub that was the only disappointment...maybe they were having a bad day
