The Shannon — Restaurant in Hoboken

I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD!!! SCAMMMERS! They deleted my first review… so I’m gonna give it again. I saw this place advertising for New Year’s Eve- $35 wristbands per person- it said on the site that it included a champagne toast at the Shannon and three other bars to go in and out of besides the Shannon. So my friends and I decide to go, we head into the Shannon first, we paid on their site and showed them, they let us enter. After a bit we get a drink and frankly it was boring and we wanted to leave so we CLARIFIED with the people in charge that what they stated on their site was true and that we could come back later. They say “YES”, and OBVIOUSLY THEY LIED. Long story short we go to the bars that were supposedly included, they all said that it was untrue and that they only have their own regular charge for New Year’s Eve. We go back to confront the Shannon and they all act like they never saw us ever come in. They say that they are closed and no one else is allowed in which was some stupid BS because they let other people in right in front of us. Anyways another bar was kind enough to give us a discount because it was pouring rain and we were obviously scammed. All of this to say def DO...

If you're a black man, steer clear away from this establishment. I was in there just hanging by the bar when the bouncer approached me and told me to follow him. When we reached the exit he informed me that a woman had approached him and told him I had touched her without consent. I was flabbergasted by the whole ordeal seeing how I had just been hanging by myself the whole time eating ice, what really astonished me though was the fact that this bouncer hadn't even confirmed it with his own eyes but instead chose to take the word of random person over somebody that complied with him seamlessly through what some might say was an act of racism. I wonder if the script were flipped, whether he'd approach a random white girl and kick her out based on the word of mouth of a black guy. Highly doubt it. Needless to say, I will never be visiting this bar again after having such an embarrassing experience. I went there to celebrate a friend's birthday but left with emotional trauma. The only reason I'm giving this spot a 1 star is because google doesn't allow negative stars. Pathetic bouncer with 0 morals can...

HOBOKEN: The Shannon is well-known for being a dog friendly bar and popular with locals, so we knew we had to visit after receiving recommendations from a bunch of people. If you had any question that this place is an Irish pub, you will receive the answer with a big Irish and Jameson flag draped proudly as you enter the bar. In addition to their Irish heritage, The Shannon is also a great sports bar and dance club.

We love that leashed and friendly dogs are allowed, but only before the night life begins, so get there when they open to enjoy a drink from their full bar, play pool, watch the game, bring your own food, and meet some super cool people. There is a space up front with one bar and a back room with another bar, so plenty of space to enjoy some dog friendly fun! We love that there were a few other dogs enjoying New Years celebrations and it makes us happy that they all met at a local dog park. The staff is great and always checking-in. We heard Sundays are great to bring your dog as it is like an impromptu Yappy Hour!

Everything is more...
