I love Shenanigans. I've been going there for probably 15 years. It is just a neighborhood bar with an Irish theme and when I say a neighborhood bar, I mean it as it sits in the middle of the Deer Park neighborhood. The food is good and the beers are fine, but don't come here expecting a bunch of varieties of craft beer. There are only a few crafts from which to choose. There is a general sitting area with tables then a bar area, so during the day or early evening hours, it is also a comfortable place to bring your children for a bite to eat. Bellarmine University students have often used it as a hangout sitting in the table area while the older crowd 30s - 50s sit in the bar area. Interesting the mix but it draws a variety of people and ages from the neighborhood which is in the heart of the Highlands, a popular shopping and restaurant area in Louisville. Would give it 5 stars if there were better craft beers available and a few more...

Went here on a date on a Monday night. When we arrived, the bartender told us to seat ourselves and a server would be with us soon.

There are plenty of cheaper options nearby with attentive, friendly service. I doubt...

My daughter dropped me off to drive the boys home. I had not eaten, and they attempted to get the waitress' attention, but she failed to appear before the kitchen closed. After I got there, I waited 20 minutes, trying to get her attention before approaching the bartender. She did put in the order I requested, but was inattentive, rude and yelled at me, claiming I was drunk when I requested a glass instead of a solo cup. We have been frequenting this establishment for years and have never received this treatment. If we ever return, we will not allow Katelyn...
