In Vino Veritas, one of Richmond’s better food weblogs, has kind words for one of North Richmond’s restaurants:

shenanigans is a wonderful place to hear some great music. recently, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing some really good country (and i mean good country) bands - Brad Spivey and the Honky Tonk Experience, James Hand, and Dale Watson (we enjoyed his first show so much, we went back the same day for the late show). this is a true neighborhood bar. joan and her staff are wonderful and very accommodating. i’ve mentioned bonkers (yes, her name is bonkers) before. if there was a vote for best waitress in richmond, she’d have mine. even the regulars here are as nice as can be. if you have the fortune of sitting near larry, he might even buy you a drink. so…if you are looking for live music, a friendly atmosphere, and great people…a visit to the northside is a great choice.
