If you are Hispanic you are not welcomed so don't even try to go to Sharkees Bar.
They think That US the Hispanic people are all the same and cause problems. (STEREOTYPE).
I was told after my second drink that i was drunk and talking loud and that's why i wouldn't get serviced with a "FISH BOWL" but looking to the side. There was "Americans" really intoxicated and acting crazy ordering a FISH BOWL and got served.
NO BAJA SHARKEES EVER AGAIN!!! and WOULDN'T RECOMMEND WITH THEIR RACIST STAFF.
This location is the worst baja sharkeez I have ever been too! DO NOT COME HERE!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY BAR/RESTAURANT . Â The front door man checking ID's at the front was fucking pathetic. The most ridiculous questions I have ever been asked. Â When I have several credit cards with my name on there, I even have mail in my purse with my name. THE WORST PART IS I COME TO THIS LOCATION ALOT!! the most outrageous experience I have ever dealt with at a place that serves alcohol. Not even hollywood or Vegas does what this KID did, but hey all you can do is laugh and say FUCK U shareez your food SUCKS anyways, NEVER COME HERE PEOPLE!!
Review Source:I would  rate this place a minus 10 !!!! After a good bike ride my girlfriend and I decide to try the Hermosa Baja Sharkeez only to be turned away by some punk a** kid because I was wearing Dickie shorts yes he said it was because they were Dickies any other shorts would be OK . Now my girlfriend had shorts and a bikini top would have been allowed in . What a F*cking joke these are working mans clothes . This 50 year old White man and his girlfriend will never spend a F*cking penny in that place ever !!!!
Review Source:So much to hate about this business located just steps from the beach:
1) Men (only) are not allowed to wear plain white T-shirts
2) Ukuleles are not allowed as they will insite hippies to spontaneously form a drum circle inside the bar
3) Only beach brahh scumbags work here -- they're old, pissy, and exceptionally rude
4) Breakfast burrito was served cold
5) Backpacks are not allowed
6) Can't store beach chairs under your table
There are too many other suitable establishments right next door to give this place your business.
it's always a fun time at sharkeez but i don't understand why it's so small! and there isn't a dance floor at all! my girls and i have to dance on top of the couches because there is NO room at all! i wish they had much more space since this bar is popular! i recommend getting a fish bowl with your friends because it does the job ;) it's $28 for a bowl but make sure you show the bartender 4 i.d.'s!
i love keeping the shark and pinata toys they add in the drinks!
Effffff this sharkeez location.. I created my yelp just to comment on this place.. First of all, if u don't look like p***y your not getting in.. These boyscout lame ass security will have no problem creating a reason why your not getting in.. Me and my boys tried to get in for my bday.. We heard NO TANKTOPS, NO WHITE SHIRTS AND NO CARGO SHORTS.. WTF is that! It's on the pier but is a close resemblance to a trendy LA club.. F**k you sharkeez the food is ok the drinks are ok nothing special. Go nextdoor to Patrick Malloy and enjoy yourself.. F**K sharkeez in hermosa!! I repeat
Review Source:Horrible, dirty, and smelly (in the short time I was inside)!!! The manager, and the door men are prejudice!!!! There were a bunch of guys wearing shorts that were allowed inside; and yet decided that my guy friends (who were meeting us) couldn't get inside with the shorts  they were wearing (even though the shorts looked exactly the same) . Go next door to Patrick Molly's. they have outstanding food and great service!!
Review Source:No, no...just no. I really cannot think of any pros for this place and the fact that it is considered a South Bay "hot spot" boggles my mind. The food and drink are unimpressive...not horrible...just not good. The biggest issue is that the place is filled with groups of people who seem to be stuck in high school, getting drunk and rowdy and talking about "the good ole days" while trying to hook up with the same people. Maybe I just came in on a bad night, but the service and food are just not enough for me to waste my time on another visit.
Review Source:Worst "club" ever. Waited forever to get in, they kept letting people in for free in front of us. We go up, hey $10. Um no, you are a bar where we are going to spend money on drinks, I am not paying you to spend more money. You are not a bar in Hollywood. The bouncers contradict eachother.One said we would all get in for free and then the next is trying to charge all our friends but us $10. No thank you, that is not a way to run your business. I've gone to many clubs in Hollywood and none have treated me anything like this shit hole.
Review Source:Love Sharkeez most of the time. Here's the roundup of the pros and cons.
PROS
-fun vibe
-great happy hour menu (however food is ok)
-love the jelly shots
-lots of MEAT (pun intended)
CONS
-when it gets crowded, forget service, especially up at the bar
-food is ok
A few more tidbits:
-If you give them your email, you have a GOOD chance of winning happy hour meals for your birthday (includes all your guests). My friend won this and there were like 30 of us, most of the platters of food were free. Then I entered my email and sure enough I won as well (and I never win anything).
-My last visit, I bought Fireball shots $3 for 6 people. How they charged me $45....I couldn't figure it out. BUT I was in a long line, it was super loud and I literally could not contest my bill at the bar. Oh well....
Went this past Memorial weekend to hang out at the Beach then go to Sharkeez. This was my plan for memorial, get my friends together for a nice weekend. It's not everyday we get all of us together. I drove 2 hours to get out there. I went to the beach and hung out. Then we all got ready to go to Sharkeez. When I got to the front door it was around 5pm. There was a festival outside and there was a small line. There were three guys in motorcycle jackets wearing nice jeans in front of us. Not skinny jeans but no way were they baggy. What's the first thing the doorman tells these guys? "Your jeans are too baggy". The three guys took it better than I thought, they said "what??", laughed and walked away.
Me and my friends then walk up. 7 of us total. We're hungry, ready to eat, and have some drinks. 3 girls and 4 guys. Everyone is dressed in their beach gear except one of our friends who is in jeans. REGULAR DAMN JEANS. We're all adults. Remember this bar is a beach bar, EVERYONE IN THE BAR is in tank tops and beach shorts with flip flops. What does the door man tell my friend. "YOUR JEANS ARE TOO BAGGY I CANT LET YOU IN" I dont see any type of sign for a dress code, there is no cover charge, its a beach dive bar, and the guy wants him to wear tighter jeans??? We are all adults over 30 just trying to get food and drinks.
NEVER WILL I COME BACK TO THIS PLACE. This place picks and chooses its guest as if it were the best nightclub in Hollywood. Message to DOOR MAN (the irish looking tall guy with the red face), YOU SERVE TACOS ON TACO TUESDAYS. You guys dont serve don perignon and neither do you have racks of wine in a cooled wine cellar. You have cheap plastic cups for your beer and a CHIP stand in the back. Chips for drunk people to munch on. No way does this make you an elite status hollywood type bar. I've been around all over LA. You are no different than the 5 other places next to you.
If only the OWNER of this place really knew how much MONEY he was losing because a D*CK runs his front door. MESSAGE TO OWNER: Watch what your staff is doing. They are turning away business!! Don't you want to make money. 3 people in front of me and 7 people in my group. 10 people!! 10 people in a matter of 2mins you lost!! That's insane.
Our experience for the evening was completly ruined. My friend was VERY UPSET. Our plan for a special memorial day ruined. We drove back to my home, fired up the BBQ grill, made some mixed drinks, turned up my wireless outdoor speakers, and made our own party.
I will tell everyone I know to never go to this place again. AND if you do go, because I've been there before, it's a dive bar with low class dive employees.
Screw Sharkeez.
PS. What's funny on top of that. I was on their so called VIP phone messaging service telling me to come down to Sharkeez on certain days because they want my business. I go down there and they turn me away. LMFAO!!!
I have not gotten a chance to write this how ever it was soley, because i needed to control my rage! I was OUTRAGED and HORRIFED by my experience on the night of 4/5/13.
I was in hermosa beach for one night out with my girls! it was a mini vacation of sorts
we rented a hotel room got all dressed up and our concierge even gave us drink tickets for sharkees! my friends had been raving about this place so naturally we were excited.
We arrive at the door at about 10:30 it was myself and my two ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL girl friends ( not to toot our own horn, however they are bombshells and i am not just saying that) and two male friends of ours who are well dressed and well mannored  and GOOD LOOKING, anyway there was a huge line we waited and wait for about 45 minutes at which point we were at the front of the line.
they let a huge group in front of us. and then it just stopped
we waited at the front of the line for 1 and half hour more till 12:45 am we were in the line. I went up to the door natzis at least 5 times asking why, the entire time
the two  bouncers let, any person litterally walk up and go in.
it seems to be people he knew, everytime I was astounded. I felt like I was in an alternate universe where nice good looking people were treated like scum and trashy
friends of whomever ran the joint were treated like royalty, it was outrageous!
FINALLY AFTER GOING TO THE BATH ROOM TWICE IN TWO OTHER LOCATIONS!!!!!!
WE FLED TO THE IRISH PUB NEXT THAT HAD NO LINE AND ANYONE WHO ENTERED (ACCEPT US) COULD GO FREELY BETWEEN THE TWO!
BUT NOT BEFORE GETTING THE BOUNCERS NAME WHO RIDICULED AND LAUGHED THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE HE SLYLY LET HIS FRIENDS IN!
His name was ACE AND HE WAS THE QUINTESSENTIAL JERSEY SHORE KNOCKOFF ARROGANT DOUCHEBAG BUFF MEATBALL IDIOT! YOU SEE EVERYWHERE.
he laughed as we went, but it seemed he was intimidated by the men we were with given that they were better looking and hanging with hot chicks while he was working the door!
I never got a chance to enter this place but I did try and because of this douche bag selfish idiot ACE they lost my business for ever, I do visit this area often and have many friends in the surrounding area. I would never refer anyone i know to experience this type of service , as someone who works with people and cares about customer service do not go here!!!
i never got a chance to call and complain to the manager but since writing this I am currently infuriated again so I will give them a call shortly!!!!
Sharkeez is a "bro" spot. It's not my favorite place and it's usually always packed, even on weekday nights. The bathroom is upstairs and ONLY upstairs which is sort of a pain if you're tipsy and need to pee fast considering it's upstairs (two flights) and all the way down the hall....sheesh! The outdoor seating is nice with heaters for colder nights. The bartenders aren't TOO bad but trying to get a drink could also be such a pain.
Music is mainstream and sometimes trance too..not my taste.
I always have a good time when I go here and the food isn't bad either for quick bar food.
My friend and I had a sunny week day lunch here and the mahi mahi tacos were really tasty.
He got a burrito with blackened mahi mahi.
The salty chips and salsa kept us satiated until our food arrived. Â The margaritas were standard.
Justine was our server and took good care of us and the whole outdoor section.
Will be back next time I am in HB.
As a South Bay local, I love this place. Â Its packed ALL THE TIME but as long as you're cool with that, it has some delicious drinks. If you plan ahead and book a party, you can get a reserved table which is the best way to go because then you at least have somewhere to go when you get your fishbowl or jello shot syringes. Â Music and dancing in here is pretty much always good. Â Again, its always packed with locals and tourists alike. Â Avoid it on Friday and Saturday night because it is needlessly insane. Â There are several great bars along Pier Ave. If you can't get in here, go to Patrick Malloy's.
Review Source:I went for Taco Tuesday and was kind of confused when I arrived. We sat down at a table inside, after having only sat outside and received regular table service out on the patio the previous time we went. After sitting for a while and having no one come up to us, someone finally clued us in that there's no service - we had to go up to the bar to order food and drinks ourselves. I thought this was weird and kind of annoying. After ordering, we got a number, which we inserted into some contraption on our table, so that our food would come to us when ready. We helped ourselves to complimentary chips and salsa, which was really the only perk here. Our food came out quickly, so I suppose that is another plus, but I wasn't overly impressed with the tacos here. It wasn't bad, but not great either. Margaritas were decent. I'd probably check out another place next time.
Review Source:I remembered WHY I HATE HERMOSA SHARKEEZ because its politics in this place i used to be a regular until the staff became rude and full of themselves and only wait on their friends OH AND THE WORKERS who are off the clock sat there at the bar which the place was empty 3 bartenders no one acknowlege me or my sister until 30 minutes later and then rushed us to order our food and drinks. What made it worse is when the bartenders are screaming laughing and playing with one of the tables that was sitting behind us UMMMM HELLO MAY I ORDER DO YOU SEE US SITTING HERE do yourself a favor and go to manhattan beach they are 100% better and down to earth and its a shame when the manhattan beach workers say the same thing about the hermosa workers they are stuck up and full of themselves even the owner if i could give it a 0 i would
Review Source:Nice Happy hour drinks BYGO for $0.25. Â The food is nothing to write home about though and it's quite annoying to receive food and drinks in plastic and when you request a draft in a glass the server tells you they don't have any glasses in the restaurant. Â You all know what this place is, a great place to party on Fri/Sat nights and get free mimosas for an hour with brunch purchases. If you're a foodie looking to be impressed, look elsewhere.
Review Source:I haven't been to Sharkeez since last year so this year, I decided to go out more on the pier. What a difference a year makes. Been out here twice at night; once for my  birthday, another just spontaneously; and both times were disappointed. Not with the place itself, but the crowd just got lamer.
Drinks are stupidly priced and not strong at all. An AMF is tiny here, you definitely won't experience any blackouts, let alone be buzzed from it. I'm that girl that dances on seats and tables and I swear I had five drinks and was still sober. Only come here during the day on weekends, your best bet is Sunday Funday.
Long story short:
Day crowd: Amazing
Night crowd: No
Don't drink and drive!!
The best time to visit Sharkeez is when nobody else is at Sharkeez. Going on a busy weekend afternoon or evening is a zoo - unless you like crowds, you won't like it so much. This is a bar for young folks when busy - nobody else would have the patience to stand in line for so long for a refill.
On a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning, you can get a very good, affordable breakfast with a custom-made bloody mary without dealing with the hassle. Â Also good for lunch on a weekday.
I've always been hesitant going to this place after reading the yelp reviews. Â But I couldn't escape this place since my friend was celebrating her birthday here on a Friday night. Â Surprisingly, I had an amazing time here. Â I felt bad for cutting everyone in line and getting in without paying cover, but I got over it once I got in. Â Granted all this was made possible by our friend who knows someone that hooked us up. Â We were also able to reserve tables and bottle service. Â The workers were friendly and attentive to our table the whole night, especially when we would run out of juice. Â They were always cleaning our tables when drinks were done or spilled when needed. Â Kudos to you guys!
The crowd was not as bro-ey as I thought, but I was with my group of friends most of the time so I didn't pay close attention. Â The whole bar/restaurant is narrow, long, and of course crowded. Â Mixed drinks are $8ish+ but they were made well.
I was not a fan of the music, but I made with what was playing. Â I'd much prefer more hip-hop/r&b. Â The dance floor if that's what you call it is small, and people cut through it a lot because they need to get to the bathroom. Â Speaking of bathroom, you have to take a flight of stairs to the restroom! Â Good luck to all the future drunk people/girls wearing heels! Â I don't think I'll go to this place again unless I'm with my friends who helped us get hooked up...which means I'll be back.
I wish I could give ZERO STARS!! SCREW this sh*t hole of a place! Â They had the nerve to charge 20 dollars after we waited in line for 45 minutes while the a-hole bouncers let skanky, dirty chicks, who did not wait in line, in??!
You're a beach side bar, not a Vegas or Hollywood club! Take your 20 dollar cover and shove it!!!
Been coming here weekly for more than 4 years but was turned away at the door if front of out of town family and friends because Sharkeez has a new "dress code" that their manager says "dickies shorts are gang related attire and not allowed".
 I will now be taking my appetite and money next door to Pattrick Molloys for now on.
Trailer trash in Hermosa? Apparently.
Everyone was mostly white and the non white people looked and dressed they were white.
It looked like they came from a Famous Stars and Straps themed party. Hideous tribal tattoos, cheap Affliction style type of shirts, flip flops, tacky and most of all not attractive.
If that is what you're attracted to, be my guest. If you are into people bumping into without say sorry, getting drinks spilled on you and clenching onto your purse the whole night, you've found your place.
But if you're like me and want a hipper and less college spring break types of crowd, find somewhere else to go. Outside Hermosa, I assume.
I'm going to give sharkees a lukewarm review only because I'm kinda too old for that scene. I WILL SAY this the FISH TACOS are BOMB! The girls here are attactive but they scream a lot and get distracted by flashing lights a lot. Instead of Guidos we have Broskis. This place might be in California but make no mistake this is as Jersey Shore as it gets.
I would MUCH rather catch live reggae at the Lighthouse.
how does this place only have 3 stars?! Â that's so sad!
yes, the crowd is hella broey, but who cares? Â bring your own group of friends you will not have one care in the world about the bros in the bar. Â
just recently took my sister and her friends here for her birthday on a sunday night and the bar was surprisingly super happening. Â the 2 djs spinning were awesome. Â did i mention they were showing the thrift shop mv on the screens too?!
overall, if your're looking for a drunken dance party, this is definitely the place to be.
p.s. all the sharkeez employees were super hard working and friendly as well :) Â kudos to hb sharkeez :)
p.p.s. Â don't forget to order the shark attack drink bucket! Â
oh, and the tacos are BOMB.
When I tell people that this place serves bottomless mimosas for $4.50, they never believe me. When I tell them a decent sized breakfast is included, they think I've gone insane. If only they could see for themselves how mindblowing this deal at Baja Sharkeez is.
Here's the gist: Saturdays + Sundays until 11:30 am, $4.50 gets you bottomless mimosas with a full out breakfast. You're going to pay more just to park your car in downtown L.A. My breakfast came with french toast, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, syrup, ketchup and a chipotle sauce. It wasn't the most fantastic breakfast, but it was more than decent for the price.
If you're trying to get the most of your bottomless mimosas on a Sunday, you'll have to flag down one of the waitresses. They come around on a regular basis, but there's only so many mimosa jugs they can carry at one time. This place is typically the only packed bar in Hermosa Beach on Sunday morning, so come early if you want to get a table. The crowd can be a bit rowdy, but you can find much worse in almost any beach community.
During my 2nd trip this year to Cali my friends and I were aching to get our drink on. Â After touring and people watching at the sunny southern Cali beach, we spotted a happy hour sign so we ventured in. Â The bar is somewhat dark lit but not trashy. Â The free chips and salsa bar definitely was an added bonus for us along with buy 1 drink get one for a penny. Â
I'm a seasoned jell-o shot vet so when I saw a sign for jell-o shots in plastic syringes I became very giddy. Â We ordered 5 tall shots and my friends were instantly buzzed after 1. Â There was 1 syringe left so I took one for the team and my buddies were impressed how fast I finished it. Â I screwed up and didn't study the drink menu long enough. Â I had a sweet tall glass cocktail but missed out on the spicy drinks they had listed. Â Â
You always go to the bar for ordering. Â For the location and the prices we paid for the drinks it was pretty much a steal. Â The chips and salsa certainly helped my lightweight friends. Â I can see this place only good to visit during the day while it is laid back as I can tell by the location it's a douche fest when night time comes around.
Big crowd, want to brunch and drink? Baja Sharkeez it is! Weekend review!
Baja Sharkeez are located in a few beaches if you search on their website to find their location you will see where. The one I experienced is this one in Hermosa Beach. They have weekend brunch which is amazing if you have a group of friends who wants to watch a football game or just want to celebrate because it's the weekend!!! Just to let you all know, it's self serve drinks and as for food you must order it from the bar.
Important note: If you have more than 4 people, reserve a table! Yes, you can do that because my god this place always gets overly packed.
Best things to do here:
+ Watch sports, FOOTBALL games gets the most attention and customers here.
+ Brunch
+ cheap drinks (including unlimited mimosas for an hour with a purchase of brunch, a double shot in a 32 oz pitcher bloody mary or screwdriver of any kind of vodka you like and prices varies.) Oh boy, they also serve bowls of drinks shared between 4+ people. Those are deadly. Make sure there's a DD for you by the end of the drink.
Their new drinks..
<a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=VHMDs8pGbegtNymtgCsUdw&userid=a7K8yNKMI_-BnUgIOepLaA">http://www.yelp.com/user…</a>
bottle is for you to keep. bring it back and get $2 off on original drinks they have for the bottles!
+ Self-serve salsa & chip bar! Best munchies for you all drinkers and nondrinkers. :)
If you are celebrating a birthday with peeps who do drink, this would be a great place to be if you all don't mind the loud noise and people shouting. Cheaper with a group and also cheap for one person. Let loose and enjoy your weekend fun here.
