The Shaskeen Pub and Restaurant

Great service, good drinks, a live Irish band and some of the best Scotch eggs I've ever had. Highly recommend!

I can't believe the prices for the amount of food you get at this place! We had looked everywhere for a restaurant in Manchester and the price is alone made us want to try it out. It was amazing! The club sandwich was by far the biggest sandwich I've ever attempted to consume. Fries perfect, fried green beans perfect wings so crispy but not overcooked. Go to this place!!!!

I have been going to shaskeen over many years now. They are consistently always a outstanding place to go. Whether it's to eat or to have a drink. You wouldnt expect their food to be as delicious as it is, for just being a pub. Their chicken tenders are like no other. I've yet to have tenders anywhere that are similar or can even compare. Highly recommend trying shaskeen if you haven't yet! Have not ordered anything that didn't satisfy. I do not hear about them enough! (Personal favorite is whiskey ginger tenders or maple bacon 😋). Always outstanding service as well! Staff members all around are 100% always attentive and do a great job!

I went to go see cappadonna from wutang clan and it was only $20 so I got excited, so we get there and I have one drink at the bar and two drinks in the “venue” area, I go to the bathroom and I hear some girl puking so it made me gag one time simply because it grossed me out. Well the girls who threw up left so I wrote my name in chalk on the board, the bartender comes in and tells me I was the one throwing up and I need to exit the bathroom, I tell her it wasn’t me but I can leave the bathroom no problem. About 10 minutes later I go to order a drink and the bartender tells me I’m cut off, I ask why, she tells me I’ve been throwing up… I literally had 3 drinks and didn’t throw up but they didn’t care and cut me off. Absolutely insane to me that instead of ensuring it was me the just assumed it was me and chose to cut me off and not the girl who actually threw up….to top it off when I first got there, a man at the bar was so drunk he was nodding off and couldn’t walk at all, yet I got cut off after 3 drinks. Absolutely insane mind you it was my first time going here.

Had a great NYE here with awesome people and great music!

So I went here to catch the football game and a beer and everything was going fine until I went to go to the bathroom. There was a group in the way, as normally happens in crowded bars, and I asked them to move. They didn’t hear me. Again, it happens in bars, not mad about that. I then tapped one of their group on the shoulder (gently, in my opinion) so I could get through. After that, the person I tapped confronted me, saying I tapped the bouncer and that I had to cash out and be kicked out. I told him I thought that was a little extreme, but that I wasn’t gonna fight him on that. I then went to cash out and was handed strictly a pen cap to sign my tab. I tried to get their attention for a good 4-5 minutes but to no avail, so I left my check blank. I didn’t want to leave no tip as the confrontation wasn’t the bartenders’ fault, but the experience definitely left me feeling less guilty about not tipping than I normally would have. I get that any physical contact is a hot wire for a lot of people, but I feel that if you’re blocking the entire route to the bathroom and don’t respond to a gentle, but generally audible “excuse me”, you don’t have a right to be mad when someone physically alerts you of their need to get through. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive about this, but I felt pretty disrespected by this encounter as though my need to maneuver through the bar was less important than the bouncer and his friends’ comfort of taking up the entire throughway to get to the bathroom. The food I had was “fine”, but not quite “good” and the prices weren’t outrageous but nor were they generous. Place is ultimately somewhere between “meh” and “fine” outside of the encounter I had, but that level of confrontation over something so minor left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

Come here once a year. Disappointing, male bartender didn't check before he left and just left the female to do it which she didn't. only 13 guests here for 2 bartenders which isn't a lot. Nachos were not evenly distributed and it took a long time for drinks with 13 guests then 5 guests. Bar was grossly sticky. I'd guy was great.

Ate here on Saturday night before heading to Boards and Brews down the street. The place was very busy, but we still got a table relatively easily. Atmosphere is great, but definitely noisier than expected. That was mainly due to a couple large groups near us though. The live music added to the already good atmosphere. We were looking forward to trying the scotch eggs, but they make fresh once each week and had already sold out for the week. We both ordered the Guinness beef stew and cannot understate how awful it was! See the picture I've included. It was inedible and tasted worse than it looked (which is saying something). I have no idea how they can even serve this slop. It was the worst thing we've ever been served in a restaurant and it wasn't close. The meal was so bad it was comical. We decided not to complain to our server (I think her name was Olivia) since she seemed to be the only one serving all of the tables and still managed to provide great service. Very impressive! She was working so hard and we didn't want to add any stress to what looked like a very busy and difficult night. I'll probably come back for some great Guinness draught, but there's no way I'm ever ordering food here again. As it was we ended up having chicken fingers at Boards and Brews since we were starving by the time we got there.
