The majority of the staff seemed kind and patient. I came to the bar 10 minutes before close because my sister CHIPPED a tooth and had gotten kicked out before she could find it. I left home, drove through inclimate weather, and politely asked to look. The tall black bouncer was extremely rude and hostile and continued to provoke me while I kept to myself and looked on the floor. He antagonized me the moment I walked in and told me to 'stop running my mouth and look' because I had first approached to ask PERMISSION to look in an empty bar that was being closed. I was literally advised by a bartender to 'just ignore him' because I guess he is so volatile that a sober 5 foot young woman can set him off by simply responding to his extremely rude and antagonistic behavior. I would never go to this bar. And my go to IS crowded gross dive bars like this one. If this is how the tallest most intimidating bouncer treats sober patrons, I cant imagine how he treats anyone under the influence. STAY AWAY!!! dude's on a power trip.

Zero stars if I could. Terrible experience. I needed help with my outfit in the bathroom, and my mixed friend and my gay friend stepped in for a minute to assist me. No one else was in the bathroom just us. A female worker took issue with it and had security kick them out while I was still half-dressed. Rude and discriminatory behavior. Not a safe LGBTQ space. No one should tolerate or accept that.

Irish Pub located on Division St in Gold Coast neighborhood. It’s surrounded by other Irish bars. They have live performance going on. A lady was playing a piano and singing. Was fun. You can get your own food after 9 pm that’s what the waitress told us. Full bar available and you can get whatever you like to drink. We had cocktails, beers and hard liquors. Open late night.

Shoutout to Nikki for being the highlight of our night! She’s super professional but also just really fun to talk to, and somehow knew exactly what kind of drink I’d vibe with. Everything she made was chef’s kiss.🤌 Honestly, Chicago has a ton of bars, but she’s the kind of bartender that makes you want to come back just for her! Thank you, Nikki!

There's a little bit of everything at She-nannigans. Darts, Jenga, Sports on TV, Beer Pong, Karoke and floor for your moves. Drinks are a little pricey for the neighborhood but the vibe is nice on most days. Music could be better but if you aren't coming specifically for music then you'll have a great time. Staff is is welcoming and takes great care of guests.

Shenanigans deserves 5 stars for the service. Me and my wife had a fun night in the city planned not knowing that it was Chicago's first weekend to implement COVID restrictions with restaurants. Shenanigans had a couple tables inside for drinking/dinning. The QR scan for menu used door dash because most of the kitchens were shut down. We told our waiter the door dash thing wasn't working and she walked next door to a bar whos kitchen was open and ordered us food. She went ABOVE and beyond to accommodate our date night. We got a few mixed drinks that packed a punch for the price. Interior of shenanigans gives off this old school wood vibe. Check this place out.
