Shark Bar — Restaurant in Kansas City

My gf and I went out on a Saturday and had never been to power & light district before, so we decided to circle around the block to check out every bar before deciding which one to stay at for the rest of the night. Every other bar was okay, but there was something about Sharkbar that made us really enjoy the overall atmosphere and vibe, this was by far the best bar in the district. Drinks wise- I ordered one of the monkey coconuts to drink, I think it was called angry shark bite? But man, it was DELICIOUS! My gf didn't know what she wanted to drink so the bartender "insisted" that she try this cocktail. I asked him what it was called and he said a "white gummy bear". Of course I tried my gf's drink cuz I paid for both, it was fantastic. The rest of the night I ordered those white gummy bear drinks from the same guy. He held on to my tab, which was super convenient and served me EVERYTIME I came up to get 2 more drinks even though he was extremely busy. I closed my tab in less than 30 seconds when we were finally ready to leave. Music- the music in this bar/nightclub was a little slow at first, but then picked up when it turned into a place to dance. DJ Nightshade? I think that was his name-o. Anyway, he kicked some major ass spinning beats and played some of the best hits. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great drinks, great atmosphere, and to dance. If anyone is looking to mix and mingle with someone and have a great time, this is definitely the bar to go...

So I'm just now posting a review 3 years after going here for my frist and last time. I'll start with why it took me 3 years to write this. So they like to do this thing where they take down people's names and phone numbers at the front of the bar when they check you're ID. The reason for this, is not made very clear when writing it down. But weeks after you've done so. They'll send you text that states somthing like this.

"Hi (Insert Name Here)! It's Kyle at Shark Bar.. It's been awhile since we've seen you! We would like to invite you in for a VIP party with great specials. Interested?"

Now that sound enticing right? Well turns out if you say "Yes". Then they'll inform you that you can get half price drinks if you bring a certain amount of people to their bar with you. Then you all show up, they get all you're friends names and numbers. And do the same to them later. Even when you text back, call them, ect. And ask them yo remove you from their text list. YEARS later, you'll STILL receive text messages.

If that was not bad enough. The drinks EVEN at HALF price were still WAY too expensive. The music playing is awful, and the entire experience was the absolute WORST. Avoid this place like the plauge. Unless you like spending too much on drinks and harassed via...

I typically only come here when there are deals on drinks due to such expensive prices, but there is so much inconsistency. on nights when they do have deals, the bartenders always have no clue what’s going on. it’s always “wait what?” or “let me go ask my manager 🤪” when i’m literally showing them my phone with the shark bar page pulled up with the deals of the day. However, me and group of my friends came last weekend for 816 day when everything was half off including cover. All we ordered were well drinks, and the price was different every single time. the first time we knew something wasn’t right was when my friend ordered a double vodka cran, and was charged $15. I showed her the receipt and said “thought it was half off tonight?” she said “he got a double” i let it slide at first, but then had a realization of, wait, is a double usually THIRTY DOLLARS then? no. so i asked another bar tender after a while and she was confused why that happened. through the night, i bought a few more drinks, and each time it was a different price. one time it was $8, another time $10, another time $12 or $7. I don’t know what’s going on with the girls at the bar. if they’re clueless, pocketing money, or what, but nobody ever seems to know what they’re...
