So eventually Shenanigans is reopening.I for one am delighted to hear this news...how do the rest of ye feel about it?
They had hoped to be open for last night(Wednesday night) but obviously that didn't happen,so I think its going to be next Monday or Tuesday and supposedly the first night they are open will be invite only:mad:

Delighted! Shenanigans is a lovely pub. Was disappointed to hear it had closed down for a while!

Do you know if they've changed much in it Bobcar?

One of the lads got to go inside and said that its totally different.Its meant to be much bigger now.
He only described the bar area with hands jestures so its not exactly easy to put that down in words for you.
I think he also said something about lights that look like chandeliers.

Apparently was supposed to have it's grand opening tomorrow night (Friday) but it's been pushed back til next Wednesday.

It looks class inside. Pure class! From what little i've seen!!

(Invite only? Sounds fishy to me....)

Xiney

It does look REALLY nice

(I popped my head in while the builders had the door open.)

There was still dust flying out of it when I passed this afternoon. Wonder will they go for the student crowd again, or go for a "classier" crowd?

Basq

Really doubt they'd opt for the student crowd now..

I think they are aiming at the student crowd again, during weeknights anyway. I heard they were trying to have some kind of disco every night of the week.

I agree with the Student crowd. It's been their bread and butter for long enough, it would be madness for them to turn their backs on them now.

il gatto

I heard he wanted to go for the older "Velvet" crowd, but that's only one night a week. He'd be much better off with the grubby students.

I don't think he will have a choice.students will go there whether he likes it or not.It will never lose its reputation as been an underage drinking hole.

Looks quite classy, hopefully they've removed the troff that they had in the toilets.

That's for sure.

Anyway, I drove past today and the doors were open. I have to say that it looks really nice inside, and totally different to what it used to look like. It's certainly way bigger and did seem to have a bit of a classier look to it.
Can't wait till it opens!

was at the grand opening last night- a great night in a classy joint.
owner put on a great spread - limos , champagne , food , drink , music. i am struggling big time today-need to go back to bed badly.

Mint Sauce

a possible meet for a future beers maybe

limos? Champagne? Does this means the students will need to make an effort? Like washing:D

Anyone know if they do lunch/bar food now?

bobcar61

I'm nearly sure they do,they have a little restaurant somewhere in it I think.

I was there last night,it was the Ursuline grad and one of the girls who was graduating father owns it so we had a free bar upstairs and a few nibblets which were very tasty to say the least.
I looks quite classy inside and I'm sure it cost plenty,I hope they do really well.

I will definitely be going back soon:D

Was in there a few days ago for lunch. Was really impressed. Friendly staff and it is a welcome addition to Sligo. Gets my thumbs up. Might have a chat to them about getting bands in on a regular basis.

They've advertised Music for 7 days a week but I think it's gonna be DJ's mainly!

ge_ch

they have restaurant upstairs (separate entrance beside pub)with dj. its for older crowd though. they are hoping to have velvet crowd staying on after meal(open till 2am), kinda sophisticated and chill out music.
dowstairs is still for students;dancefloor,smokingarea (with window to look at dancefloor)
be aware though drinks cost more after midnight:p
