Pub
•Located in the heart of Darwin town, Shags is a favourite haunt for locals and visitors alike. Standing proud for over 21 years, Shags is the place to sit back on the terrace with a pint and watch the world go by, catch the game with mates or enjoy some Irish pub classics (just as good as mum makes)!



We visited for a casual meal on Saturday and ordered via the QR code system. The drinks and food were delivered to our table, but that was essentially the extent of the service. We had a Guinness, the steak, and the barramundi. The steak was decent, cooked fine but nothing particularly memorable. The Guinness was as expected. The barramundi was disappointing. The skin wasn’t crispy at all, and the squash purée was quite dense, making the dish feel heavy. The chat potatoes were the highlight and saved the plate. It looked good but the broccolini didn’t add much in terms of taste or freshness. On the way out, we had to navigate through chatting waitresses, which didn’t leave a great final impression. Overall, not a bad experience, but not one I’d rush back for.
The only issue I had was the live music was way too loud! He was an excellent singer and played great songs, but too loud for me! Unfortunately that seems to be the norm now. However, my Irish Stew made up for it - it was soooo good!!!
They had good deals for different days of the week. Steak sandwich with Fries could do with more mayo. Despite ordering at the same time food can’t out at different times with some finishing before others even started.
Popped into Shenannigans for a casual bite and had a blast! The food and drinks arrived at our table surprisingly fast, and the overall vibe of the place was lively . Definitely a fantastic spot for a relaxed weekend meal with great pub classics. Can't wait to come back!
Absolutely loved! The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were expertly made, and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Great music, excellent service, and a fantastic vibe all around. Whether you're catching up with friends or just looking for a relaxing night out, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back!
