The Shamrock does some massive meals at more than reasonable prices. Is a dive bar situation but has a good vibe. Definetly a place to go for cold beer and when hungry.

The Shamrock is a bit of a dive pub but they do have every UFC fight and some good cheap counter meals. They do a great cheap crumbed steak and have cold beers just back from the water and the main drag in Townsville so what more could you really want.

The Shamrock or better affectionately known to the locals as the Shammy is Townsville's oldest Irish Pub with it I think turning 125 years old at some stage this year. The Shamrock is not a bad place to catch up with friends and start your evening being about a 12 minute walk to the Townsville night club area. The Shammy provides good tasting basic pub meals in good serving sizes. Currently I see that if you shop at woolworths they also have a shop a docket promotion where you can get a second meal for half price. Meals can be taken either inside or in the outside area of the restaurant/bar. The crowd is general a mix of blue collar workers from the local area and young revellers looking to have a few quiet drinks before the nightclubs open on the other side of the river. The Shammy regularly has live music and also plenty of big screen tv's so that you can see your team play. The service is always friendly and with a smile.

Approximate cost: $12-25
