Sharks is known for their quick service and attractive dancers, but unfortunately, our recent experience was overshadowed by the overly aggressive behaviour of the mommason. With 10 dancers on stage, another 10 outside and several working the room the bar had a strong lineup, but the atmosphere was tainted by the mandatory 2-drink rule for lady drinks in order for the ladies to keep us company. This policy is a not a deal in our opinion and not the first time we’ve encountered it, but this was the first time experiencing this at Sharks. The staff’s attitude when we declined only added to the discomfort.

The bar’s double-stack seating arrangement contributes to a cramped, crowded feel when busy, further detracting from the overall experience. The pushiness of the staff to quickly pick a lady and buy her drinks made it difficult to enjoy what should otherwise have been a good time. Instead of feeling welcomed, the aggressive approach led us to moving on to someplace more relaxed quicker than expected.
