Sharky's Beer Co

In Key Largo for a family vacation and thought we'd try out Sharkies since the reviews seemed to be good

The good; The music was good, obviously they attract some nice local bands and the food was also good. my shrimp was cooked to perfection, the carne asada tacos were okay, and the fish and chips were excellent.4

The bad; Their only large table was full and we had a party of 9 so they sat us out on the picnic benches. They were made out of some weather beaten insect infested wood. I would never set a guest out there for any other reason then to wait for a table.

To drink I had a whiskey sour. I think I tasted whiskey but I couldn't be sure. It was very weak and not worth  even drinking. My brother had a margarita and had the same complaint. Initially I was going to have a beer but the waiter couldn't answer what temperature the beer was kept at. He said somewhere
in the mid 20's. I didn't feel like drinking ice.

my suggestion, go there for the food, don't go for drinks. Only go if you don't have a large party,

Live music, by the canal = a great dive bar. We went on the $5 burger Monday. TVs in the background, breeze a blowin', we tucked down to awesome burgers, with grilled onions and the cheese if your choice. I got a flight of craft beers and really liked the one from HI. Great fries.  The server was awesome as well.

Decent beer menu the night we arrived but since there was a beerfest going on I wasn't surprised.  We drove through the residential neighborhood and parked in the pot hole filled lot and made our way towards the restaurant.  We weren't really sure where we were supposed to go but its the Keys and everything is weird there.   We decided to head upstairs and sit in a booth.  We weren't terribly hungry but went ahead and ordered the conch fritters and mahi mahi.  The server mentioned the calamari was good and asked if we wanted to try it but we said we would wait and see how hungry we were after the other apps.   He brought it anyway and did charge us for it.  We were not up for a fight so we just dealt.  The fried selections were just OK.  The conch fritters were mostly dough but decent enough and the calamari was dry.  The mahi mahi was perfect... Wish we ordered more of that.   We would go back here only because the choices in Key Largo are few and far between but it would never be a place we have to stop at on our way to Key West.
