Review from Katya J.

I have a thing for divey bars and pubs, so this place has a leg up on the competition right away. However, the location is a bit odd, and the on-tap offerings were somewhat limited (a few over-represented brands, some of which were completely out on the Tuesday night that I was there). The live music was mediocre and pretty invasive, but I guess you can't expect to have a conversation wherever you go.
I had a great time when I was there, but all in all, it seems like an average place. So, while I tend to prefer that, I suppose I ought to give the place an average rating. I was really impressed with the gorgeous woodwork in the main bar area, but I just can't give it a whole extra star for that. -

I'm not a fan of pubs in basements, especially those of office blocks, but in typical Irish fashion, Shannon's manages to win you over with its charm and charisma.
Boasting a spectacular hand-made wooden bar, the main area is dressed in orange and green, the colours of Ireland's Protestant and Catholic faiths. Kilted psuedo Irish lasses serve the holy trinity of Irish beer (Guinness, Kilkenny and Smithwicks) table-side.
A limited menu offers just enough pub-style bites to offset any ill effects of a tippling evening well spent enjoying the live music, shooting the shit and playing pool.

We tried this place because it was handy, and we could actually reach it by going across the parking garage.
Beer is beer, not cheap but OK.... About $8 per draft Harp.
But the food was terrible. Very limited selection. I had the Bangers and Mash. Generic sausages, salty probably boxed mashed potatoes, and mediocre canned beans.. Barely edible unless you had a LOT of those Harps!!
We try burgers all over the northern hemisphere, and sometimes beyond. Some are great, some not so. My wife finally had one that took the award for worst... Kind of like a poor quality, looked like, meatloaf but with some sort of hot, nasty tasting, seasoning, maybe curry and something else. A really horrible flavor.. She didn't eat it and I actually tried a bite. It was just awful!!! $10.00 burger = 8 McDonald cheapy burgers... And the McD cheapy would be immensely better than this offering!! Oh, and we had to wait quite a long time for it!! Once we had dinner, we were sorry we hadn't waited longer!!!
Guess we can see I was underwhelmed..... Skip this place unless you just have to have a beer. Plenty of better places in the area for food.
