Is Sharky bar open or closed and do they owe staff back pay?
Re: Is Sharky bar open or closed and do they owe staff back pay?
This place is funny. Ever since I got here it stated online that it was open, but going by there a few times to check it out, and going to Fatboys, it was closed.
Now that it is open, it states online that it is temporarily closed.
Think they need an HR division. LOL

What's the status of Fatboy's these days? I haven't been there in a very long time.Kenr wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 6:31 pm This place is funny. Ever since I got here it stated online that it was open, but going by there a few times to check it out, and going to Fatboys, it was closed.

it looks like they are still going strong. Kind of on the pricey side, but I get a craving for it every now and then. They are good.Freebirdzz wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 11:26 amWhat's the status of Fatboy's these days? I haven't been there in a very long time.Kenr wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2023 6:31 pm This place is funny.

There's nothing more unappealing than a huge bar that's virtually empty. It needs a minimum of 40 people to look even remotely busy, and that's a tough ask these days and especially when the place has so little going for it.
When I got here in 2017 Sharkey's was the go-to place on Friday nights, and you were lucky to get a table passed 9pm if you had a group of 4-8 people.
I can't see it ever attracting such crowds again, everyone seems to be dying or leaving PP.

Considering it was well into its decline already by 2017 and had its decor and atmosphere totally destroyed the previous year - ust goes to show how far it has fallen

I went there back in the day, was friendly with some members of the band Stiff little punks so went to see them a few times. Those stairs were hellacious after a session.

The refurb from hell was after 2017. This was when they changed the orientation of the bar and make it smaller, a total disaster. They had this daft idea of a cigar room and the decor was red everything (iirc). Plus the toilets never worked from the start. They got completely ripped off.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 9:11 amConsidering it was well into its decline already by 2017 and had its decor and atmosphere totally destroyed the previous year - ust goes to show how far it has fallen
Prior to that it was tatty but had a lived-in feel. It didn't look like it had been refurbed in recent years.
It's a shame, I liked the place but I know I missed its heyday by many years. I also missed Walkabout completely.
Re: Is Sharky bar open or closed and do they owe staff back pay?
Definitely missed the peak Walkabout as well. It was good for a few drinks after your night out, my worst being drinks at Noon in Walkabout that was a continuation of the prior evening. I decided to go home at that point, a mate decided to try to keep it going into the next night- didn’t end well.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 9:21 amThe refurb from hell was after 2017.

*Was it not around 2002 (?) when all the Khmer staff went on strike and Big Mike decided it was time to gentrify the place in keeping with the new customer demographic (which encouraged Shanghai to also prudently change their business model) ?
Cue an older hand to note that it was already spoiled in the 90s.
In reality, we all accept places as they are when we first encounter them and use that as the yardstick we judge them by.
