    When I asked Terry to take care of my wife's celebration of life she said she was honored and truly did a fantastic job

    Shanks is the home of the South Florida Jets Fan group meet up’s for Jets games, and let me tell you something, this place is just downright great!! As a displaced Jets fan from NJ, down in Dolphins country, I was amazed to find a place so accommodating to the Jets fan community! Terri and her staff are the best and always made us feel welcomed, even through our misery of watching the Jets ruin our Sunday (most of the time, lol). It truly made me feel at home. Thank you all again for hosting us!! J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

    Excellent Hidden Gem, locals bar that still allows smoking! So that's unique. They pour a stiff drink at a reasonable price and sometimes have food out of the kitchen. Seems like very diverse but good clientele definitely recommend a visit if you're in West Broward.

    I went there for the first time to throw darts last night, and it was great! Not fancy but exactly what I was looking for as a dart-player! Friendly staff, laid-back atmosphere, solid rock 'n roll, pub grub, and good times.

    Shanks Town Tavern is a great local “pub”! The owner and staff are professional, welcoming and always have a smile for you. 😃 The “pub grub” is yummy and the drinks hit the spot! Love the Bloody Mary! I highly recommend Shanks for the smoke-free environment and relaxed “neighborhood” atmosphere. Looking forward to your re-opening soon!

    We had a nice time at happy hour. The service was friendly and they support local craft breweries. Excellent homemade spinach and artichoke dip. Fun karaoke. Great place to let off some steam.

  • 5/5 S. D. 1 year ago on Google
    Local large bar, karaoke almost every night. The people are nice and Terry is awesome. Great service and prices too. Pool tables ! Nice hangout with friends !

  • 3/5 Joseph P. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, welcoming place, but not having beer on tap is a minus. Naturally the bottled beer is a bit overpriced. Karaoke is great, especially Donald.

  • 5/5 Karen O. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect hometown bar! Pool tables and darts along with karaoke many nights...filled with friendly locals. Our very own Cheers.

    Shanks hosts the NYJ Fan Club this season and I made it out for the first time over the weekend. I didn't really eat a lot or drink but the wings were good and every staff member I had an encounter with was nice and accommodating. Their special menu for the club was a little limited but I imagine most people going here normally would be more interested in the activities and drinking so no knock for that and I'm grateful to have a nice place to suffer in watching my Jets.

  • 1/5 Jackie B. 7 months ago on Google
    Limited menu(7 items), it was really hot in there. Short staffed. We walked in during football Sunday. First time there. We stood there waiting to be seated. No one ever came so we sat ourselves. Took forever for someone to come get our order. We asked for a tv that was near our table and that no one was watching to be changed to a certain game on that tv. We asked 3 times and no one ever did it. Lady kept giving us excuses. First time she said she didn’t have remote then other 2 times she said she was too busy. Also, there is NO cellphone service in this place. You have to go outside to use your phone.

  • 3/5 Sentia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical dive type bar. Service was a tad slow but understandable due to short staffing. Had fun though and the bartender was friendly.

    Hometown bar with good people and great bartenders. Emilia is great! always greets us with a smile and gives great service as we play pool . Go by and check it out.

    It would be nice if they Pepped up the menu... and if staff was friendlier. Seems like You're bothering them.

  • 1/5 Annette L. 4 months ago on Google
    NEVER GOING BACK!! I felt pressured by 2 waitresses/bartenders at the same time! We were a group of 10 and we just came from another establishment where I ate dinner and had a drink. We went to Shank for the first time to see our friends sing karaoke so the first impressions as we walked in were: 1. It was hot but bearable. 2. It was half empty on a Saturday night. Not a big deal, just an observation. However, there wasn’t enough room for my husband and I to sit with our friends around a table so we sat at the bar that was near them and the bar was half empty anyway. When my husband got up to play a round of pool, 2 lady bartenders asked me if I was going to order something. I said no thank you, (as I just finished a drink not long ago). I swear they both looked at me with such a dirty look and then looked at each other as if I either didn’t speak English or like I had two heads because the look I got was undeniable. I was confused as to what was going on. I told them that I was with that group, as I pointed to my friends and told them there’s no room for me to sit with them and that my friend was also currently singing, as I pointed to him. One told me she thought that was weird because I was in an establishment. Weird?? I have never in my entire life felt how these two made me feel. They literally ganged up on me when my husband wasn’t around and their tone wasn’t friendly. The pressure I felt was unreal. I would understand not sitting at the bar if it was full but it wasn’t and there were plenty of seats. Not only was I definitely not buying anything after that but I’m never going back. I completely understand that an establishment needs to make money but if you treat your customers like trash, trash is the review they are going leave. And for the 2 ladies - Be kind to your customers. These are tough times and I understand you wanted me to buy something but giving me dirty looks and saying it was “weird” that I wasn’t ordering anything isn’t the way. My reply to your “It’s called customer service and entertainment is for paying customers” response: You sure have a funny way of showing customer service. I was with a large group and they were buying. I don’t HAVE to buy anything. Especially, when I already spent enough money beforehand. My husband and I weren’t even there but 40 minutes max. This is the only establishment that I’ve ever been to that has put me in this situation. If I would have enjoyed myself I would have gone back another time and spend money with my friends but now that’s never going to happen. That’s too bad because we are a large motorcycle community and we like going to new places. I’m not one to go out of my way to leave reviews but I’m THAT upset. Very unprofessional.

    A very sweet woman owns this bar. Best service I ever had. Can not wait til next time. Philly cheesesteak, they claim to make a good one. Next time for sure.

  • 4/5 Tracy R. 3 years ago on Google
    Always have a great time there.. Was good to see Terri and other friends i havent seen in awhile. Was amazed after all these years Terri STILL had my beer mug. 💚

  • 5/5 Laura B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a blast. Saturday night's they have Karaoke hosted by Nicky D. He is fantastic host with a great variety of Karaoke songs to sing. And the staff and owner are super nice and helpful. We are going to be there again this Saturday for some more Karaoke. Come out and join us for some great fun, food and drinks. See ya there

  • 5/5 Farid H. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome watering hole with the most amazing owner operating the place herself. Terry is excellent. We hosted our Christmas party there and our service was impeccable.

  • 5/5 AL T. 2 years ago on Google
    I started coming to shanks almost 3 years ago after moving back to my hometown from San Diego. No friends, no family.. until I walked in there as the youngest person in the joint. It’s dead sometimes and I have the best fun even then. 2 48 fireball if you have any balls at all. This place is what a local chosen family means. And the owner works just as hard as her employees. Come to shanks or drink your sorrows away at home alone. ✌🏼

    Nice place to grab a bite and play pool. Delicious wings and bacon bombs. Highly recommend this place when in Davie.

  • 5/5 Scott M. 3 years ago on Google
    Truly is a neighborhood bar. Terry the owner is beyond accommodating and makes you feel welcomed. She stopped letting people smoke in the bar and truthfully it was nice to be there in the smoke free environment. This is one place I would reccomend to go and hang out.

🫤 This salon surely has raised their prices while giving out less service. A regular manicure and pedicure is now 49 dollars.
