Shark Bar

I won a free happy hour drawing at Shark Bar, for which I am appreciative of the 9 free drinks for my entire party (3 free drinks an hour), but I feel kind of mislead! I had never been to happy hour at Shark Bar before so maybe that was my bad, but when they said free food buffet, I thought that was something special for my winning! Nope, not at all, food buffet was for everyone and, as a result, there was nothing left when I got there! The waitress also told me they were going to refill (it was only about 8:15PM) but they never did.  Ridiculous.

TBH, I probably would not have chosen to come here on a Friday night if I knew that my free happy hour winning did not consist of anything special.  I think the music is whatever here (they tend to play more older 80s kind of stuff) but the decor is also a bit kitschy in my opinion. They do have a nice patio area that is roped off, from which you can see the main stage, but seating is limited and it just got way too crowded later on in the evening. I should also mention that I'm sick of these types of P&L, kind of douchy, overly Barbie-fied crowds so my review might be a bit biased...but hey, it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

Um, sorry, I really don't remember much. I know we had some shots and danced a little. That's probably all I need to say about that.

I haven't the slightest clue as to why this place gets such bad reviews.  Maybe its from the younger bunch.  I however loved this place.  It was the favorite place I went to in all of KC.  The music was wonderful, the DJ's played our requests, the staff was fun, and I liked the atmosphere.  It had plenty of room on the dance floor for everyone to have fun.  I ordered a Red Stripe though, thinking it would be the standard 11.2 oz for about 4 bucks or so.  They pulled out a whooping 24 oz bottle.  I never heard of such a thing, and it was 9 dollars!  I really just wanted something small, because I was full from all the drinking I have been doing, but I was also kind of happy, because I never saw an awesome big bottle like that.  All in all, if I ever decide to come back to KC, I would definitely come here again.
