Shark’s

This is a great place to go and hang out at to play pool. I was looking for a bar that had pool tables and this is the place to go. They probably have close to thirty pool tables. I forgot cash and they had an ate there so I could get quarters at the quarter machine. They also have very friendly servers that come to your table asking for drinks. It is a good time as long as you want to play pool and hang out with friends. I did not try the food, might go back sometime to try the food.

The food is good for bar food, but we’re here every Tuesday for my boyfriends pool league and we always have issues with service. They are slow and always forget to bring something or to ring something in. Last week I had to remind our server after 20 minutes that I’d asked for a bottled beer because she had forgotten. I tried one of their specialty cocktails last night, the ‘not your fathers root beer float’ and it was undrinkable but instead of asking if they could get me something else the server avoided me for the rest of the evening. Your best bet is to go to the bar — the bartenders are great and it’ll actually save you a lot of time and guarantee your correct order.

I’ve been going to this place since it was called Ace’s and Eights. There has been a time or two when I was unable to find a table, but that is usually on a Fri and Sat if you get there past 9pm. The bar area is large enough that if for some reason there isn’t a table, you have an area to hang out until one becomes available. They have, per their website; 20 — 7ft pool tables, 4 — 9ft pool tables, 12 dart boards, 4 foosball tables, 3 Golden Tee Machines, over 40 TVs, 2 — 10ft projection screens, free Wi-​Fi, and much more. It’s located pretty much right off of I-​35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway, so it’s a great location! There are always beautiful, helpful waitresses, although most of them don’t end up working there that long! This place is an all around good place to meet some buddies, drink some beer, and play some pool! I would have ranked this 3 stars, only because I have had some bad experiences with some of their waitresses. BUT I’ve been here THOUSANDS of times so I don’t hold it against them. Can’t expect perfection when the turnover rate on waitresses is quite high. Either way, I highly recommend this place! Plenty of pool tables in fair enough condition, decent drink prices, and overall friendly staff and management!

My chicken burrito (Tue lunch special) with queso was delivered with a smile in about eight minutes. The burrito tasted great, the service was somewhat friendly and attentive, and the price was good at $ 6.00.
This place is huge, with 24 pool tables and 4 foosball tables. If you like pool, foosball, or darts, then this is a great option.

Always receive great service when I come here. Greta staff and fun place to just have a drink and play pool or darts! Will be returning soon

Regular customers there we enjoy the laid back atmosphere, good drinks but the service is SUPER slow next time we will just have to sit at the bar to get our drinks.

I go here for the lunch specials. You get to play pool free while you eat. Food specials are good and pool tables are kept in above average shape.

I’ve gone to Sharks probably 5 – 6 times with my friends and my experience has always been about what I expected; lower than mediocre. My most recent experience is what made me leave this review. The prices for the drinks and drink specials are okay. They didn’t keep track of our reservation for the pool table and then initially tried to renege on an agreement we had at the beginning of the night. We got that ironed out with the manager at the end of the night so thankfully that is not a large part of this review. I try not to use the waitresses because I’m never sure that they can keep track of everyone’s drinks and you don’t know when or if you’ll get them. This particular night I went to the bar for half of them, and used the waitress for half of them. I tried to pay the waitress in cash, and she said she’d go get my bill. She didn’t come back. 45 minutes later I chased her down and asked her if I could pay my bill. She hadn’t kept track of what drinks I ordered out of our group, so I had to remind her of which drinks were mine. Then when she came up with my bill, I gave her a $ 20 and even though she was standing right next to the cash register, she said, ‘I don’t have change for this.’ I was so fed up at this point that I said, ‘bring me the change your next time around.’ Sure enough, she didn’t come back, so I had to chase her down again to ask for my change. By this point I had multiple people in my group who had asked for their bills and had to chase her down as well. Now, I know how busy waitresses can get on the weekend, but this particular one was serving the tables around the pool tables, and spent PLENTY of time socializing with the other tables. It almost seemed as if she was serving everyone but us. I particularly despise having to ASK to PAY my bill, whether it’s in a restaurant, bar, or anywhere else, so this is my pet peeve. She just confirmed my dislike for dealing with waitresses in a bar. I’ll keep paying cash at the bar like I have been.

Steak and veggie soup… Amazing!!! Cheese dip is velveta but it’s God and the tacos are delish. Great place to hang and play darts

Met a few friends at Sharks to play pool last Friday night and it was quite fun. We were with a good group of people that were a table with a server and the evening was great. We ordered a few pitchers of beer and our server, although young, was very attentive and good at her job.
I haven’t ever had food here but saw many people eating and things looked good. I would definitely go back because the drinks weren’t very expensive and they had various bar games (darts, billiards, poker tables and video games).
If you’re into bar games, you should check this place out.

Monday special… Bar-​B-​Q chicken and potatoes are great! I thought their side-​pocket salad was awesome and it’s at a very reasonable price!

9 different flavors on a nachos how can u go wrong there lol plus the nachos have queso on it not just shredded cheese by far the best nachos I’ve ever had! they don’t have taco sliders nor a Milano melt anymore. Brand new menu with everything made fresh great place to eat, drink an watch the games def. 5 stars!!!

Shark’s is a good place to go if you’re looking for cheap drinks in Shawnee, or if you love pool or darts. Food is meh, service is meh, but drinks are cheap! We go nearly every Sunday during football to watch NFL games that aren’t always available at bars that only play Chiefs games. There are plenty of TVs and they are always accommodating with what we want to watch. Plus you can’t go wrong with $ 6 PBR pitchers. On a typical Sunday, we will spend $ 40 here compared to the $ 100 we would spend at Johnny’s or Tanner’s. That being said the food is just average. I have had the Nine Ball Nachos and the Taco Sliders which were both so-​so, and the Milano Melt which was awful. Have yet to try the pizza. But it’s close, and a good place to relax and watch the game without spending too much money. I haven’t been other than a few random Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, so haven’t caught any of the bands or events they advertise at the bar or on their website. They seem to have a lot of fun things going on though like Beer Olympics and some seasonal parties which look like they would be a good time!

I came to Sharks with my dad, brother, boyfriend, and friend. We all had drinks, appetizers, food, and stayed there to watch some march madness. We ended up staying there for a good 5 hours. Our waitress started out very friendly, but just about the last hour we were there, she developed quite an attitude. My brother had paid his tab and left before us. When she brought the bill, there were a lot of things wrong with it. She got the attitude when my Dad asked her to split the bill. She came back and my Dad’s bill had one of my brother’s drinks on it, which he had already paid. He told her that, and she came back with $ 7 «out of her own pocket» to pay for the drink. Really a rude thing to do instead of just taking it off like any other waitress would do, since he was already charged and paid for it. Food was not very good, except for the queso and chips, but how hard is that? The only reason I gave 2 stars is because they have a lot of pool tables and foosball tables and darts.

A winner so far. Only been in here a couple of times and those were just to hang out for a bite and a drink at the bar.
As far as pool halls go, this is definitely the cleanest I have ever seen (I think the earlier complaints about smoking must not matter now; I think the city of Shawnee has kicked them all outside now too). The couple of times we’ve been there, the jukebox has had a steady strem of either pop music or upbeat country, which gives it a happy but slightly off-​beat vibe.
They have lots and lots of tables, lots of seating, and plenty of room for a huge crowd. Good bar food, good drinks, and good service. Will definitely be back, especially if the urge for foosball or darts hits.

Great place with great prices. Every beer under the sun. Excellent food and service. Huge place with every game you would ever want, pool, darts, fooseball, poker you name it. Great place for business events and employee parties.

Great place to grab a beer and play some pool or throw some darts with friends. It has a relaxed atmosphere with friendly employees. The place is also big enough that you have find your own space for you and your friends.

Three stars for the pool tables and the tap selection. Tables are plentiful. I cannot imagine the place being so full that one would not have ample personal space. We came in here just before it went smoke free and had to walk right out. It still smells of stale smoke, but now we can deal! We will definitely be back. If you want to get together with a big group, shoot some pool, or throw darts this is a great spot. Also, the wait staff was friendly and helpful.

Now that it is smoke free — it can get 4 stars! :-) (there is patio with tables out front for those who do smoke)
I’m a fan for the laid back vibe/​atmosphere. It is a great place to hang out with your friends. It is very large with pool tables and darts and what not. There are more than enough so that even if other groups are there you are not bumping into each other or stressing over grabbing a table or anything.
The drinks are good. One of the waitresses is right on… the other you better order a drink half way through the one you are drinking if you want it to arrive by the time you actually want another.
The food. Um, no. I have tried a few things and so far nothing has been good, much less exciting. The stuffed mushrooms were not good at all. The nachos… if they’d have REAL cheese instead of that fake liquid crap then yeah, they’d be tasty. But the sandwiches… bland. So far, no luck in the food department. The drinks and the atmosphere are great though!
Also, great daily specials on food and drink.

Numerous pool tables and televisions.
Dart boards and poker tables are also available, as well as some other games (video, ping pong)
Can get very smoky.
Bands on Saturdays, with $ 5 cover charge.
Cocktail service is hit and miss.
Food is average to above average, with average pricing.
