Shanahan’s is the go-to neighborhood bar for affordable drinks and hearty American classics, featuring a relaxed vibe, arcade games, and tasty Irish-inspired eats.
"This Vancouver neighborhood bar has a relaxed atmosphere with more than 20 beers on draft, pool tables, and arcade games. While much of the menu focuses on sandwiches and generic bar snacks, Shanahan’s offers a braised corned beef hoagie with horseradish sauce and beer-battered Alaskan cod fish and chips, plus Irish American standards like “Irish nachos.” Those into the distilled elements of Irish pub culture should head to the Infirmary, the adjacent sibling to Shanahan’s; the bar features more than 250 varieties of whiskey, including several of Ireland’s finest. The Infirmary also offers a wide range of cigars that can be enjoyed on the smoke-friendly patio." - Maya MacEvoy
"Shanahan’s isn’t a place for craft cocktails and chef-y small plates; this is where locals go for inexpensive drinks and hearty fare in a low-key, Irish-inspired, but thoroughly classic American neighborhood bar, complete with heartfelt bathroom graffiti, a pool table, and a lifelike painting of The Dude. The popular Shany fries — a mixture of tots and fries coated in melted cheddar cheese, bacon bits, scallions — are $7 and served with a side of ranch. The $7 Irish nacho is a plate of potato skins topped with tender corned beef, sauerkraut and melted cheese. Drinks specials change daily; prices hover around the $5 - $10 mark. Upscale beverages are available next door at The Infirmary." - Rachel Pinsky
