Shenanigans has been Pattaya's go-to Irish pub for over two decades. Located near Beach Road, it nails the formula: dark wood, live sports on every screen, full Sunday roast, fish and chips that compete with anywhere in town, and Guinness done correctly. Less of a tourist trap than competitors and more of a legitimate expat hangout. Pub quiz Tuesdays are an institution.

Long-established restaurant with a settled, regular-clientele feel. Casual atmosphere - unfussy, comfortable, designed for relaxed dining. Beer-hall or pub atmosphere with louder energy, wood furnishings, and group-friendly seating.
