Shenanigans

Shenanigans is a bar in Dahlonega, GA, serving traditional Irish pub fare, seafood, pub classics, and vegetarian and kids' options alongside what the pub describes as the largest beer selection in town, including local microbrews, Murphys, and Guinness. The kitchen turns out dishes such as Guinness tempura battered cod with homemade slaw and tartar sauce, a black angus burger, grilled salmon with wild mushrooms, shepherd's pie, and scratch-made desserts, with brunch served on Sundays and a dedicated wing night kicking off at 4pm. Shenanigans holds a rating of 4.60.

The pub is tucked into the basement of the historic Strickland house, just a block off the historic Dahlonega Square, with walls covered in customer-autographed dollar bills. The space includes a covered patio and a pet-friendly open air deck. Shenanigans runs live entertainment nearly every day of the week, with karaoke on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:30pm, trivia on Thursdays with prizes for winning teams, live music on Fridays and Saturdays at 6:30pm, and rotating weekend acts such as Lindsey Beth Harper, Morgan Rowe, Andy Browne, Amber Fults, and Ben-Jammin Music.

Shenanigans sits at 87 N Chestatee St, about a tenth of a mile from Hancock Park, the Town Square, and the Dahlonega Historic Gold Museum, and roughly the same distance from Lumpkin County High School, with West Main Street and Public Square North running just around the corner.

The 4.60 rating reflects the customers who have reviewed the pub, with regulars citing the fish and chips, Reuben, shepherd's pie, burgers, and onion rings as reasons to keep coming back. An Irish pub with a scratch kitchen, a deep beer list, live music almost nightly, and a location a short walk from Dahlonega's historic square, Shenanigans is a fixture of the town's downtown food and drink scene.
