Shenanigans Bar & Grill

This is the absolute best Packer bar in Phoenix. Game day specials and entertainment to go along with every Packer game. There is even a DJ calling out games/​trivia/​contests and playing Packer music instead of commercials. Staff is super attentive, food decent and the management is awesome to work with. Check out the game here and you will never go to another bar. Best Packer bar I have found outside of Wisconsin.

We, my boyfriend & I, enjoy trying the different local bars. After settling into our new place having just moved to Az, this was the first place we tried. We went in on a Thursday night. Not exceptionally busy. The place was clean & the girl behind the bar was very nice. She went on to give us a little more info on bands that come in, etc, etc. We plan to eventually make our way back there.

Always have a great time here. Poker a few days a week and karaōke some days with great specials. This had been a go to hang out for me over the last 3 years. Owners are great and I have been told the all of food is good but I have only had wings and they are great. Prices can’t be beat. The only things missing are UFC and live bands.

This is a tough one for me. I hate to review based off a short visit.
Here goes.
I messaged the new owners to see if they were serving real «coke» for a mixer yet because the last time I was there it tasted horrible. She said it was RC COLA
OK cool. We hear they have Karaōke and decide Saturday 4−18−15 would be a good time to check it out. We arrived around 830pm. There was 3 guys at the bar and the bar tender. We both went right into the restrooms before sitting down. THE MENS ROOM IS FILTHY AND GROSS, NEEDS A CLEANING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND A GOOD COAT OF PAINT.
I walk out just in time to see a tall slender black man (I only bring up race to assist in identifying) exit the WOMENS restroom, where my wife is, I was dumbfounded, I look around to see if she was in the bar and look to be sure she was in the right restroom.
She came out with the same WTF look on her face. We exchange a few seconds of dialog while walking into the seating side… look at each other, and NOW that we should just leave.
We walked out 4 min after being in there… laughing at the train wreck that just happened.
I doubt we would go back, not until they get cleaning and get real mixers.

I just checked out this bar after I was here 6 months ago. Apparently it’s under new management. I met the new owner who was very inviting and nice to talk to. The bartender was very sweet and totally on top of my beer drinking needs. It’s only a mile away from my house to that was a plus. They have a patio where you can smoke and a great jukebox. The crowd is friendly and hot bartenders are a plus. Not bad for a Wednesday.

NEW OWNER AS OF 3÷1÷15! OLD REVIEWS ARE NULL AND VOID!
(No I don’t work for them. Just love a fair review of an awesome bar.)
That said, this place has turned around from the days of old. The new owner greeted my group of 5 and readily accommodated us wherever we wanted to sit on a Tuesday evening. The place is tucked away inconspicuously behind a tire shop and was a little light on customers but has so much potential.
Very clean appearance, 2 stories, a bar on each floor, 4 pool tables, 2 dart boards, outdoor seating, stage for music, poker on the weekends… lots going on at Shenanigans. Plus there is a pole on one end of the bar (for dance or flare, I don’t know) and what looks like monkey bars above the remainder of the main floor bar. Didn’t figure all that out.
The service was great! Super friendly bartender working well with her team of what looks like only two cooks and the owner for that night. They did great though. So much so that they had time to make sure all guests were happy and got a chance to mingle a bit too. I like feeling that the crew care about the guests and are interested in actually talking to you, not just trolling for tips.
For not having a really diverse menu, they do great. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for variety. Tacos were really good, same with the wings and fried zucchini. Garlic bread was delicious and plenty big for the small price. EVERYTHING was priced well and there are amazing specials each day. We almost had an order mix up which the owner was on top of calmly and graciously within seconds. Turned out to be my dumb fault but the staff was all about making it right and quickly. SUPER IMPORTANT.
I will DEFINITELY be back. For poker, drinks, pool, the whole lot of it. I’m excited to see all the fun that can be had there!
I wonder if they’d sponsor a softball team… hmm

Have had rude bartenders yep I love to ignore you unless the place is dead,
expensive drinks and a really weird vibe on top of really crappy pool tables.
I have given this bar multiple chances since I used to live so close to it but was always unsatisfied and it seemed that for two drinks it was over 25 bucks.
The only plus size is that their food is pretty good (plus good price of wings) have amazing outdoor patio and they have karaōke.

Great local spot with great service I was greeted with a friendly staff. Bartenders Andy and Lauren were amazing they made sure my glass was always full, what more could you ask for.

I see mixed reviews about this place and must say after my second visit there in a month I am not impressed. I am a none smoker and we sat almost at the far end of the bar and when I left a stunk like cigarettes and both my shirts still smell today. There smokers area is just outside the main bar so all the smoke drifts in. Bartenders don’t work in sync and you have one bartender running her ass off to serve the people playing poker and bar tables while still trying to be attentive to patrons at the bar. The other bartender sort of just walks back and fourth washing glasses.
Apologies for not getting us another drink when originally took glass then additional 10 minutes with another apology because she forgot again. Food is average. Frozen bagged fries under cooked and burger just bland, thank god we got bacon on it.
If you’re into dive bars and smoke this is the place for you. If looking for something better just head up the road to Casey Jones, Padre Murphy’s or Native NY.
***(UPDATE ALERT Feb 23,2015)***Called bar after my visit Jan 9^th around January 13^th. Spoke with bar manager Becky, she apologized for my bad experience and sent out a whopping $ 10 gift card for our previous bar bill balance of $ 54.25(Hmm) Revisited bar February 17, 2015 for wing Tuesday and bar was dead. Will say wings were pretty good and only saving grace for this bar, but will unlikely be back unless every other bar in the valley is closed.
First off you can tell bartenders are unmotivated and just doing the job because they need a paycheck. Andi could be a great bartender somewhere else but this dump brings her down and expects so little from her she just cruises through her nights. Bartenders informed bar is going through a ownership change week of 2-​23-​2015 so maybe the new owner has big plans for this shit hole. Maybe give the bar a month and retry. But for now if you’re struggling with bouts of suicidal tendencies DO NOT go to this bar for you will want to kill yourself in the parking lot after you leave. Good Luck to the new Owner, you have your hands FULL…

This is an awesome dive bar! My wife and I accidentally stumbled into this place. I found it on Unilocal and thought it was long shot because the reviews weren’t good. I put the address into my gps and I couldn’t find it. It’s in the parking lot of this auto repair place… what? The sign is big, but it wasn’t lit up so I missed it. But, This place is so legit and unique. Free poker buy-​ins? 25cent wings on wing night? Happy hour specials almost all day long? They should rename this place «happy hour.» I ordered the burger and it was pleasant. The beer selection is just okay except the amber bock is a nice surprise. I wouldn’t complain if they got a few ipa’s on tap. The atmosphere is super chill. The bartender was this crazy chick who ran the entire bar by herself. She is the cook/​bartender/​server/​bus girl/​manager/​etc. I think her name was Katie. She’s a hero and too nice. She knew the answer to every question we had. She should be on jeopardy. I love this bar. I will be a regular here for sure.

I love this bar! Staff is great, food is great, and the atmosphere is awesome! I have never had an issue with anything that came out of the kitchen. Awesome wings, and a mean blt! Quite a few of my coworkers and myself frequent this place and always enjoy ending the day with a drink or two… Or three lol

This place has a divey atmosphere and the bartenders are friendly. Their traditional hot wings are good.

Alright, so my other half and I had a gift certificate that we attempted to use for dinner here on take out, but apparently it was only for dine-​in. Regardless, I decided to reluctantly pay the full $ 25.00 for the meal, which was supposed to include (2) ½ order of wings (6 wings) with fries, and (2) ½ orders of just wings. Without fries, it would be $ 5.25; with fries, it would be .50 cents more, making it $ 5.75. The total should have been $ 22, instead it was $ 25.00 flat. Paid with a card & gave a $ 1.00 tip.
I gave them the benefit of a doubt and added tax of $ 3, but as I was waiting for the food to arrive, the bartender came over and barked that they didn’t charge me for the side of fries; and that it would be $ 1 more. By this point, after waiting approximately 15 minutes I told her to not worry about it.
Finally after getting home with the food, and noticed for the amount I paid, the food was mediocre, quite bland and a bit over-​cooked. I was charged $ 30.00 for Shenanigans, don’t remember making that $ 1 into a $ 4 by any means. I am contacting my bank tomorrow to get this corrected.
I can usually tolerate establishment’s faults; but this one is just downright fraudulent.
Never will i be giving this dive-​hole my time again.

Now that they got rid of the horrible bartender who ignored women patrons thinking serving guys first would get her better tips. ., I am a fan of this place again.
Andi is a superstar bartender/​server and is worth more than what I can afford to tip her. She greets me with a smile, knows my name, knows what I want before I tell her, and best of all she knows if I am up singing, when she goes out to the patio, she won’t pull my beer or half smoked smoke.
Most of the patrons are easy going and there is fun Karaōke by brad on Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays. Good selection of songs and Brad is fair in the rotation. As a finalist in the last competition I can say it was one of the fairest competitions I have been in .
It’s not upscale, but the wings are good, the staff is nice, and there is ample parking in the lot — 3.50 for a mini pitcher of Bud light? I’ll take it :-)

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this neighborhood bar. It is perfect for hanging out with friends over drinks… The food and drinks are reasonably priced (cheaper than most places), the staff remembers your name and you can play the jukebox from a smartphone app (no more standing in line with dollars). In addition, they highlight some great bands and have poker games, everyday. BONUS: pool table and darts. I’ve been a patron for over 13 years and drive in from Anthem just for their warm service.

This is an area of town with old strip malls on one side of the street and car dealerships on the other. Shenanigans is attached to a Big O Tires. It is frequented by locals, is a dark, well worn bar. It has more tables and even pinball machines upstairs. I think the owner of Big O was in there. They specialize with their chicken wings but I had a burger and a beer. The burger was hot and the beer was cold, nuff said. These travelin’ shoes would return.

Cassi on night shift was really great! So helpful. Knew a lot of new drinks! So nice. Will come back because of her. Prices are great. Great happy hour!

I started going to this place because my girlfriend’s court classes were a stone’s throw away. The drinks are fairly cheap Thurs-​Sun because of $ 3 you-call-it’s. They also have like a Wednesday poker night. Well, I never went for the poker because it seems that this place is small to medium size and so the poker tables seem cluttered, I do like it for the cheap booze.
After my girlfriend’s class, we would usually come here for a few drinks with a group of ladies from her group. They’ve got a full bar and the bartender Cassie is pretty nice and fast at serving. The mixed drinks were pretty decent and once in a while they have jello shots and they’re priced cheaply. The food turn around time is not bad. I’ve only gotten food a couple of times here and the prices were alright. They could’ve been cheaper but well, still alright priced and it’s bar food. I wasn’t expecting Blue Fin or Olive Garden at the least. The food itself was alright. Wasn’t burnt or overly greasy and it filled.
The décor is, well, a bar. But this is a neighborhood corner bar. If you were seeking to go somewhere upscale, you would’ve went to Old Town anyways. Because of the cheap drinks, this place I could probably see myself crawling out of or being carried away by friends. I would recommend if I was in the area or if friends were looking for a cheap boozing adventure. Wish it was a little closer but while my girl was taking classes, it was quite convenient and well worth the trip.

Cassie makes this place!!! The five stars are for her.

Day bartender is extremely rude! No beer selection. Its very interesting that they have the show ‘Bar Rescue” advertised all over the bar, this bar could sure use the help, however I’m sure John Taffer would fire most of the staff! Don’t think ill be going back anytime soon!
