Formerly Angry Inch, Formerly True Story, Formerly Morgan’s, Formerly Draft Pix, Formerly Leaky Faucet, Formerly McNasty’s and Now Please Welcome Shenanigans Irish Pub
2450 18th St, NW
Back in Dec. 2011 McNasty’s opened up at 2450 18th St, NW in Adams Morgan. In early April 2012 the owners explained the origin of McNasty’s.
Apparently the explanation wasn’t good enough because we now have a new name for the ever changing 2450 18th St, NW – it is now Shenanigans Irish Pub. And the old logo has also been changed to a much friendlier looking leprechaun:

Hey Farva, what’s that place you love with all the goofy shit on the wall and the mozzarella sticks?
Oh, you mean Shenanigans?

Lol!

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this.
I’d like a liter of cola.
I live in the neighborhood and new branding or not, this place is about as Irish as a box of Lucky Charms.
All names are probably still better than, “The Leaky Faucet”, and the “Our drip is worth the trip.” Ugh.
So is this honestly seven businesses in four years, or am I bad at math?
This place sounds like it’ll be worse than O’Hitler’s.
Or even O’Bama’s!
Heh, got in trouble for using the word “shenanigans” in a brief once. I think it’s an awesome word.
Citation or it didn’t happen.
Isn’t that the name of the generic chain Applebees/Ruby Tuesdays/TGI Friday’s-like place in the movie Waiting?
No, you’re thinking of Bennigan’s.
No, Bennigans was/is a real chain. Shenanigans is what the restaurant was called in Waiting.
You know who should stop in here, that dude who has been trying to sell that Guinness sign on the classifieds. I think it would be nicer than the cartoon leprechaun.
That “yes we are open during construction” dude and that leprechaun should date.
Sweet Jesus. It’s as if they were selecting their names from a list they found on the Internet of the best pub names. Only the exact opposite.
“Shenanighans” is tied with “The Rendezvous” for perfect name for a hotel bar in a Sheraton by the freeway in a mid-sized city in the midwest.
Having done hard Midwest time, I think you are right and not in a joking way.
I’m a DC native and have seen this space turnover 100s of times – it’s definitely cursed! But I can’t recall – what was it before Angry Inch?? Was it a restaurant?
Don’t remember what it was before Angry Inch, but since then, ownership has mostly stayed the same, despite the regular name changes. Very odd.
And what’s with the building to the left of it? There was some movement in there a few years ago that got my hopes up, but it’s been sitting unchanged since then.
Years ago, it was a (long-lived) bar downstairs/restaurant upstairs called Las Rocas. I miss it.
This must be some type of performance art, with a baffled public as unwitting cast members. I can only assume that our responses to this series of crappy names will be painted on a sheet and draped over the Washington Monument as a statement about consumerism or some such nonsense. Or maybe broadcast on television screens at the Hirshhorn.
Either that or it’s a local university conducting a sociology experiment on public reaction to self-destructive business decisions. Like staging an accident to see who offers to assist.
There can be no other explanation.
money laundering?
I stand corrected.
This
Any of the names are fitting as I assume there are a lot of McNasy Shenanigans going with guys’ Angry Inch’s by the Leaky Faucet in the bathroom after a couple dozen terrible Draft Pix and a few shots of Morgan’s–True Story.
