McDonald family expands Liverpool pub legacy with takeover

The McDonald family, owners of Shenanigans pub in Liverpool since 1997, are expanding their legacy by taking over The Brunswick Vaults next door. This historic pub has been part of their journey since their early days in the city. Shenanigans has become a popular Irish pub, attracting loyal customers for nearly 30 years. The family plans to restore The Brunswick Vaults while adding their own touch, including Airbnb-style rooms upstairs. The McDonald brothers, Daragh and Conor, along with their nephew Danny, are committed to maintaining the pubs' community spirit. They reflect on their journey and the evolving character of both the pubs and the surrounding area.
