Beware! Poor management!

by johnnysixtoes

My friend left his keys at the valet and they lost them. He made several trips back to pick them up but was given the run around and finally told that they were gone. No one offfered him anything, not even an apology. The keys were very expensive and costly to replace. The whole situation was handled very poorly and unprofessionally. I will never go back and will tell everyone I know NOT to go to Shark Club!

  • Pros: Location
  • Cons: Poor customer service/management

Shark Club is the ONLY upscale club without disgusting people

by clubdude714

Shark Club is amazing. Seriously one of the most beautiful clubs you'll ever see. All the people with negative drama should forward their input to the higher ups at the club and I guarantee they will help you out.

I think everyone there is awesome. I guess there is always going to be more negative feedback than positive. Check out Saturday nights there. Very diverse and lots of fun.

  • Pros: Professional well trained security, down to earth management, gorgeous fast paced servers, and the best bar staff in so cal!!!
  • Cons: 5% trash who don't know how to behave in an upscale environment

Poor/Slow service, manager was a D-Bag, No respect for myself and guests

by PokerQueen

I hosted a huge Casino party at the Shark Club for a surpise b-day party. We spent thousands altogether on food and drink. They only assigned one server to our party consisting of over 70 people. Our guests were waiting 20 minutes for thier drinks. When the food ran out, the manager Matthew had a D-bag attitude and made it difficult for me to make other arrangements. The staff had no respect for me or my guest of honor. They treated us like any other of the low-lifes who enter that place regardless of the amount I was spending there. Upon leaving, one of the bouncers had the audasity to confront my guest of honor and myself and in so many words acuse him of making me look "unhappy", He overstepped his bounds as a door man and got far too personal. They have a minimum 18% gratuity that the service didn't match up to. I would never go back to this venue or recomend it to anyone.

  • Pros: Drinks were good
  • Cons: Bad Service/ poor customer service

Average Club-Good for First Time Clubbers, Bad for Club Veterans

by JustAGirl5678

Shark Club is just okay. I went there about a year ago, and it was a good mix of young people, everyone dressed really nice, but seriously I went on New Years Eve and it wasn't that great. It seems like it's getting a lot more ghettooo. It was pretty much all black people and nerdy Indian guy. I danced w/ some portly 35-year-old black dude. Ugh. I'm a 23-year-old girl, I don't want to dance w/ some 35-year-old guy, but he honestly was probably the best choice out of everyone. Just not my vibe. There weren't many hot guys there. THey pretty much just played dirty rap all night, not much variety in music. Yeah, so SHark Club is kind of going downhill. They hosted a "Pimps n' H0s" ball a couple months ago. This should give you the kind of idea about how classy it is. The only good thing about it is it has a pretty cool look inside, it's pretty big, and they have shark tanks and pool tables.

  • Pros: Open late, big club, pretty go-go dancers, easy access for Orange-County ites who don't want to drive all the way up to LA for a club
  • Cons: skanky, only played rap music, no hot guys, not a diverse crowd,

Alright Place to go in OC

by ruxpin

Large Club. Nice inside, not so good part of town. Mostly Valet parking but if you get there early, you can park in some public parking spots. Drinks are around $7-$12 each. closes at 2 AM on Weekends. Good mix of music. Cover is $20 when I went.

  • Pros: Good area of town. Shark tank
  • Cons: Bad service, bad staff, overpriced, valet service required in a dumpy parking lot.

Its Aite...

by Johnnydogood

It's cool. I just thought it deserved a lower rating for being such A Holes! The place is cool but over priced. A good place for orange county but a mediocre place compared to LA. Keep it real!

What's with the hating?

by nikdee

So what if it happens to be some unspoken Asian night on Fridays? It doesn't necessarily make it a bad club to go to. If it's not your cup of tea then don't go. I don't go to hermosa clubs and say "what's with all the white people?" It's just the way it is. deal with it.

  • Pros: Music
  • Cons: Racism

Horrible waste of time

by NoShark

What a waste of time, pricey, and not worth anyone's time. Rude staff, pricey drinks, and horrible music. Beware, as the valet goes through your car looking and stealing. BIG WASTE!!!

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: everything

Great bar if you're a black man or a fat woman

by CoolHandDuke

What a ridiculously terrible bar. Outside of my friends and I, there were no other white men in the bar. There wasn't a single woman there that I would have slept with outside of the waitstaff. It's a meat market for fat women to pick up black men. The music was terrible, the drinks were expensive, and I had the most valuable car in the parking lot. Costa Mesa really is turning into a dump. This place is trash and belongs in Inglewood, not OC.

  • Pros: Filled with desperate fat women, if that's your thing
  • Cons: Filled with desperate fat women and black men from the hood

Thursday Nights at the Shark!!!

by Yothe1

It's all about Thursday Nights, they're the best! Hip Hop, R&B, guest performers on special event nights. The drinks are good and you only need a couple. The people there are all about the party! The newly remodeled VIP areas are the best in Orange County.
