I’m closing down the option to comment on this posting. It’s supposed to be a pub review, not a personal campaign against the owner. There’s too much shenanigans going on now.

Was reading about the previous comments listed. The one that caught my attention was about safety with 20 odd cctvs in store. I was there just about a week ago n was SHOCK to see what had happened. ” The dear sweet owner PUNCHED his MANAGER in the face” Wow….I was shock when I saw her came running out crying from the office..saying she’s been hit by him. My advise to them is …..PLEASE TAKE YOUR BEDROOM SCENE BACK TO THE BEDROOM!!!!!!

I’m not impressed with the food and service. The food is very expensive and so are the drinks. They have a whole bunch of Filipino waitresses to serve. I wonder if they are illgeal workers. maybe the Immigration department would be interested to know.

I’ve never read so much rubbish in my life…

Being on holiday in Penang I thought I’d check out Shenanigans with my father. The place was buzzing and had a great atmosphere. The owner made a point of coming over and having a drink and a laugh with us, which made us feel extremely welcome. The food wasn’t bad, it’s what I would call typical pub grub, tasty, not ‘cordon bleu’ but then it’s not pretending to be. I’m definitely going back on Sunday, where else in Penang can you get a proper Britash Sunday roast?

As for violence, how is it possible with 20+ cctv cameras recording everything. I saw nothing of the sort, the staff seemed very happy and pleasant, also taking time to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
It’s funny how the most negative comments come from anonymous sources, in my mind this is just very shallow petty jealousy. You seem to be a great fiction author, maybe you should write a book!!! Get your facts straight if you’re going to slag someone off!!!

I whole heartedly recommend Shenanigans, it is welcoming, clean, and serves the best pint of Guinness that I’ve had in Malaysia!

hi all.. i’ve been at shenanigans a few times since it opened. the drinks are like RM3 more expensive than Soho’s. The food is horrid. Service was fine.

I haven’t been there for quite some time till Saturday. I’m never gonna set foot in there ever again. If anyone of you out there does not like violence towards women, please boycott that place!! Let me relate to you:

The owner is british.. Ian is his name, if i’m not mistaken. Stuck up Pommie (biasa-lah). He’s here on the MM2H programme. On Saturday, I was sitting there with my two friends and it was almost closing time. Suddenly we heard a loud commotion (we were sitting at the table furthest away from the bar). And I looked over and I saw the owner repeatedly slapping the waitress and shouting at her. Then he punched her right in her face.. it was really loud!! Some of the patrons got up and tried to stop them and pulled the girl away and brought her to safety outside. He kept saying out loud that he’s gonna kill her and kept saying that he dares her to report to the cops, he swears that he’s gonna kill her.
Now, I’m not sure what caused this, but bottomline is, he shouldn’t have hit her. I hate it when those white people come to our country and try to rule us and bully us around.

SO PLEASE, BOYCOTT SHENANIGANS AND HELP ME SPREAD THIS WORD.

END VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN!

btw, if anyone knows the waitress, please contact me.. i was trying to look for her to help her lodge a complaint, but i couldn’t find her already. Thanks.

I learnt that the owner is a British and he owned well known Lobster Pot in Pattaya. There’s a Shenanigans (authentic irish) in Bangkok but this one in Penang is not the same owner. Now, they changed their menu and no longer available Thai menu for lunch. He’s wife’s a Thai. I haven’t been there but some of my friends did. They said is so-so. As for me, I think they could do better than that if not at par with European pub. At last they should live up to the name. I wonder if it’s a franchise from Bangkok?

It always infuriates me when a pub takes the blinkered attitude that you must drink out of the shape of glass they choose to give you, even though they have a different shape which you’d prefer. In their place, I’d serve it to you in an ice bucket if that was how you wanted to drink it. (Health and safety regs permitting, of course.)
