They were not busy and perhaps we should have said something but it took them 30 minutes and 2 different people to finally get our 2 drinks. The drinks were not good and considering we had plan to be somewhere when we finally got our drinks we paid the bill gulped down our not good drinks and left. This bar looks like it can be good but get better employees. If people sit at the bar they want to talk if they sit away from bar let them be. Serve the drinks and go away. The lady that kept talking to us was acting as if she ... Maybe this place will get better.

When we got to the first landing area, we saw the sign and decided we had to go in and check it out. There is a bar when you first walk in then another bar to the left. We knew the security guard that was working and checking IDs so we were excited to say hi to him. The bar was super busy and all the booths were taken, but the bartenders took our order and by the time the drinks were made, two people were leaving and gave us their spots. We only went in for a nightcap after a dinner date so I'm unsure if they have food/ bar snacks or anything. We'd definitely go back if we're ever in the area.

It's in a neighborhood, so I had a quick "am I in the right place?" moment. Two steps inside and I was like oh yeah, we're good. This place is made for a photo op. Flower wall with a swing, pink throne chair, cute couch moment, even a pole in the center. The whole place gives cute and fun energy. Drinks Caught the tail end of happy hour (3-8), which is a win. My Moscow mule was about $7, strong with a good ginger kick. Exactly what you want. Music Started off more upbeat, kind of techno, then switched to R&B after 8. Way more my speed. Service Bar service was nice and quick. Not overly packed, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy. Overall Great spot to grab a drink and vibe with my girlfriends in a fun, chill atmosphere. No complaints. Bubbles & Bourbon is that girl.

Pink Shark has been on my radar since it opened a couple years ago, and I'll admit I came in with…read moresome hesitation. I'm always drawn to cocktail bars with a strong theme, and places like this usually live or die by how well they commit to the experience. Right away, the space is visually striking. The pink-forward aesthetic isn't totally my lane, but I can appreciate how fresh and easy on the eyes it feels. That said, it leans more high-energy lounge than intimate cocktail bar. For me, it's missing a bit of that dim, red-lit, date-night allure that makes a true cocktail spot feel seductive and immersive. At times, it feels closer to a club atmosphere than a tucked-away lounge. What really pulled me in, though, was the speakeasy concept and this is where Pink Shark starts to shine. The hidden entrance in the back delivers exactly the kind of exclusivity I was hoping for. Inside, the vibe shifts: loungy, modern, and just the right amount of sexy. The minimalist design works, and the lighting and décor pop without feeling overdone. Music can make or break a place like this, and on Saturday (4/25), the DJ nailed it. A smooth mix of EDM with reworked classics kept the energy up without overwhelming the space. Paired with a solid sound system, it elevated the entire experience. On the drinks side, there's a bit of a split. The signature cocktail menu is solid and clearly the focus, but for a speakeasy-style bar, the overall selection feels a little limited. I did appreciate seeing El Tesoro Reposado and Blanco on hand; always a good sign. I went with an Old Fashioned using the reposado, and my date had a Paloma with the blanco (based on a prep recommendation). Both were well-executed, and the bartender was accommodating and easygoing, which goes a long way. Service was smooth and quick, and we lucked out with seats at the bar at least for a while. Fair warning: around 11pm, they clear out the bar seating as the crowd builds. It shifts the energy again toward more of a standing-room, nightlife feel, but if you can snag one of the couches, you're in a good spot. Overall, Pink Shark has a lot going for it and even more potential. The speakeasy element is easily its strongest feature, and I'd love to see that identity pushed further especially with a deeper, more classic-leaning cocktail list (think Black Manhattan or a proper Boulevardier). There's something really good here it just hasn't fully settled into its lane yet. I'll definitely be returning soon. Texas Mozzer

I stopped in on the Fourth of July to grab a couple of drinks to go. There were only a handful of…read morecustomers in the bar and around five bartenders working, so I expected service to be quick. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When we walked in, we sat at an almost empty bar. One bartender made eye contact with me from the other side of the bar, then looked away. I figured she might have assumed we needed a minute to look at the menu, even though a simple "Hi, I'll be right with you" would have been appreciated. I was only ordering a beer, so I didn't need much time. Three to five minutes passed with absolutely no acknowledgment. No greeting, no "I'll be right with you," not even another glance in our direction. Meanwhile, all five bartenders were standing together behind the bar talking among themselves while we were completely ignored. At that point, we were getting frustrated. We even stood up, hoping someone would finally acknowledge us. My friend suggested we just leave, but I couldn't believe what was happening. As we started to walk out, I decided to go to the other end of the bar and ask if we could order. I approached one of the bartenders and politely asked, "Excuse me, are we able to order?" She apologized and took our order right away. What really left a bad impression, though, was what happened next. After we received our drinks, one of the bartenders who had been standing with the group turned around and said, "Have a nice night," in an unmistakably sarcastic tone. It felt completely unnecessary and unprofessional. I've never experienced service like this before. Being ignored for nearly 10 minutes in a mostly empty bar with five bartenders on duty was disappointing enough, but the sarcastic comment afterward made the experience even worse. If management or the owners would like to verify what happened, I encourage them to review the security cameras. We arrived around 8:50 p.m., walked to the other end of the bar around 9:00 p.m., and this occurred on July 4. I hope this was simply an isolated incident because no customer should feel ignored or unwelcome when they walk into a business.
