Sharkey's

  Classic sports bar/restaurant located in every city's downtown core - if you're going watch the Sunday game lineup and your are in downtown Greenville, this is your place!
  
  Plenty of beer options, and standard bar food...I really enjoyed my burger; not only was it good on its own, they offer a big list of toppings to make it your own.  All that said, you are not going to find any foodies or healthy options here - it is what it is.
  
  I'm a big fan of people watching, so their outdoor street presence (one of very few) allowed me to keep one eye on the game, and another on the holiday goings on.

  I was in Greenville over the weekend and needed a late lunch on Saturday afternoon. Alot of places were crowded and I didn't feel like waiting when all I wanted was a beer and a snack.  I saw the bar in Sharkey's was just about empty, so I thought I could get a quick bite.  They didn't seem thrilled that i wanted to be a customer.  The service was less than enthusiastic and my Guinness was at least 40% foam.  The chicken bites were what i expected, but the service and the whole vibe made this a poor lunch experience.  The place may be good for a late night beer, but there are much better options on Main Street if you want a meal.

  I got no problem with this place, take it for what it is.  Just a little bar nothing fancy.  I had a beer and a burger and no complaints.  They played good music, they had plenty of TVs and pool table.
  
  Don't go there expecting some elaborate high dollar experience, it's just the local bar.

  I gotta say... this is the place you want to end your night and definitely not the place you want to start it.  Just imagine what you think a bar in Greenville must be like to be described in that way, and I think you'll get an accurate picture of what this place is like.  Cheap drinks, natch, but grease the skids with Barley's or Wild Wings (or even the Corner Pocket, ha!)

  Sharkey's is a good spot to swing by any night of the week and be sure to get a cheap drink. You can walk in here at any hour and get a $2 bud light, thumbs up. Feel like a Jagerbomb? <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKlU2KUhgMa8&s=899005645e9036a3fdeeffe386488e5fad2a421a876cebfe39247d4d1cb62d39" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a> $4 every day. I wouldn't recommend sampling any of the food here, it is quite average bar fare.
  
  I would go here if I want a cheap beer and want to watch a game. This place will accommodate your game viewing needs in any way possible.

  Oh Sharkey's, where to begin with you...
  
  It may have started when our server presented me with the moldy menu...okay, I can look past that...we all carry hand sanitizer these days...but c'mon, you actually paid your staff to update the beer menu by crossing out things in pen? So we get that you don't have High Life, but yet you carry Natural Light...
  
  Moving on...our food was salty to say the least...I had the grilled cheese sandwich and french fries and my husband chose a chicken sandwich of some kind...while we were in the throws of consuming our food we actually commented, "This might not be that bad", oh...to bad after fifteen minutes and a post-dinner beer we had that "I should not have eaten this" feeling...you know, the one that gives you that feeling you and the bathroom might be spending some time together in the near future and that you hope you stashed that bottle of Pepto Bismol in your purse before you left...yeah, that one...
  
  Which leads me to the bathrooms...are they seriously in Siberia? The temperature differs drastically from outside and my absolute favorite decoration was the sign on one of the two stalls that stated "Out of order soon"...that was a new one...
  
  So overall if you don't have to use the bathroom and love salty food this joint is great.

  One of my favorite spots in downtown Miceville (aka Greenville). Great bar food, drinks, and fun chill personality. 4.5 stars
  
  Eve award: best fried appetizer with a vegetable in it
  
  Highlights:
  - Atmosphere: mellow but lively spots with lots of tvs (over 20) for sports, music video, or in tonight's case even presidential debates. Perfect hang out spot.
  - Bar food: great selection
  -- Shark bites: my fave fried ap ever. Cheese and broccoli mixed together and breaded in an almost donuty exterior. Even non-broccoli people are fans of these. I almost agree to go back and visit the hub's friends for these. ;-)
  -- Cheesesteaks: all meat marvel covered with your choice of American or cheez wiz. Soft roll to hold it all in accompanied by seasoned thick fries.
  - Live entertainment: some weekend nights you can catch talented solo artists playing cover songs coffee shop style with more umph to make it in an alcoholic drinking establishment. Tonight our solo guitarist Chris Williamson played everything from tool to barenaked ladies to the who to tom petty to u2 to stp with mellow sidetracks to radiohead, snow patrol and even george michael. Awesome!
  - Service: excellent. Always around when we needed another drink and super friendly. On football Sunday our waitress not only made sure we were ok drink wise, but she checked to see how our teams were doing which was nice.
  
  Lowlights (my flip side to highlights):
  - Not everyone is up for this kind of a night. I love it but some prefer more of a scene.
  - Even though it's a great place to be on NFL Sunday cause they carry every game, most tvs are pretty small.
  - We don't have one of these at home in the bay area.
  
  Still a must stop on our travels back to the hub's city before moving out to Cali.
