For 61 years the Players’ Retreat has been a staple in the dinner/pub scene near N.C. State. That all will change on May 1 when the restaurant changes its name to P.R. Shenanigan’s. Local lawyer “Gus" Gusler said in an exclusive interview that he is tired of the same old thing at the restaurant, and wants so spice up the place with some personality.

One of the major changes diners will notice is the wardrobe of the waitstaff, which will now be clad in button-covered vests, or “flair”. Also there will be a bell at the door that patrons can ring to show their approval of their experience. Each time the bell is run, the waitstaff will yell “Shenanigans!”

Gusler says the menu will change somewhat. Most items will remain, but some new menu items, like Extreme Shrimp Poppers, Amazing Amazon Atkins Nachos, Ultimate Salad Shooters.

Interior improvements will also me made, as the red lighting will be replaced with green thematic lighting, more TVs will be added, and musical restaurants and canoeing equipment will be mounted to the wall for absolutely no apparent reason.
