Love this bar and their food. They have very good wings and burgers, and always make great cocktails. Their BOGO burger deal on Mondays doesn't hurt either. Even when it's crowded, the service is relatively good, and I really like the music posters around the area. There are some pool tables in the back, but good luck to you if you want to play on weekend nights, as the line fills up pretty quickly. It also gets insanely crowded in there on weekends, so if you are not a fan of crowds (like me), I would go here on a weekday. read more

Charging a cover of $3 on a Wednesday at 5:30. Why do I have to pay $3 to enjoy a meal. Awful

Place is awesome. Highly recommend the Bison Cheeseburger Wrap. Spot is clean, servers are kind, they're undoubtedly one of the best casual sit down spots in Blacksburg for sure, would recommend taking visitors, watching football, etc. read more

Sharkey's Wing & Rib Joint - Bison Cheeseburger Wrap - Bars Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Awful. 0/10 service. I got kicked out because I was a man and some woman didn't want me there. I tried explaining my story but they didn't listen. This woman took the girls side when I was obviously in the right and threw me out. I'm really angry because this is a bar I like to go to and enjoy and I got kicked out for no reason. Honestly very upset with the discrimination that took place today and would like to get it fixe. read more

Orderer beware...placed an online order, drove through town traffic only to discover upon arriving in person the restaurant was closed for two weeks as per signage on door. In this digital day and age how disappointing an online order would go through without disclosing restaurant is closed. So disappointing given how good their food is (when open). read more

To start, this place has a very large menu with options that can fit just about any craving you may have. There are also a lot of drink choices for those of age. We went with the 20% off boneless wing deal for Sundays, where we got a large and did half regular bbq and half garlic bbq. We also ordered a basket of fries, which is big enough to share between 3-4 people. The food here is always amazing and the wings have good flavor and a good amount of sauce. We also ordered the Shark Juice drink, and it was amazing! Very reminiscent of an island drink with a lot of coconut/fruit taste. This place has a great bar setting with a lot of TVs to watch any game you want. It's a little dark during lunch hours but other than that the ambiance is great. Service has always been amazing and I have never had a bad experience with any waiter/waitress!! Overall I would rate the food a 9/10, the drink a 9.5/10 (very sweet which we like), and the service a 8.5/10. I would highly recommend this place to any families in town visiting! read more

Took over an hour and a half to get our food, they had 3 servers running a whole restaurant. It seems they only had one chef in the kitchen cause it's absurd how long it took to even get a starter. Don't waste your time or sanity and go somewhere better. read more

I love this place. It has become my go to for food and drinks when I am in Blacksburg. I have never had a negative experience when here. The bartenders have all been wonderful and made sure an empty glass is quickly refilled. I've tried the burgers, wraps, the club sandwich, and it's all been delicious. Sometimes I'll order just the tots as an appetizer, and I can't finish them. I try to go when students are gone, so I can't say what it's like when they're in, but during the summer it's relaxed with great food and great service. read more

Had an excellent night at Sharkey's -- lively atmosphere, great crowd, and top-notch service. Tried Happy Dads for the first time and they were fantastic, definitely my new preferred drink. The staff was extremely friendly and made the experience even better. read more

Cannot believe I haven't reviewed Sharkeys yet. Dare I say my favorite bar in Blacksburg. Great happy hour 4-9pm with nicely priced drinks. Also their food is pretty good especially at night. You can get a free drink glass on your birthday and the outdoor space is awesome for hanging out when the weather is nice. If I could change anything about the establishment, I would add 10 more girls bathroom stalls as line gets long at night. read more

Lots of choices on the menu. Great service too! Drinks were delicious. Like the new addition it was cold in there but maybe getting ready for a big crowd later read more

You can't go wrong with a Sharkeys wrap! These are paired best with happy hour drink too! Our server was super accommodating and got us a table right away. Ambiance is basic college bar scene but great for watching sports and sharing a drink with friends! read more

Was told by worker we would be able to get into top of stairs with our kids since it was 3pm. Bouncer was very rude, wouldn't let my kids in but then proceeded to let other kids in after us. Very rude and disrespectful read more

The grilled bacon cheese (no tomato) and fried Mac and cheese were to die for! The Hawaiian Punch drink is also super yummy and sweet. Definitely one of my new favorite places to visit in Blacksburg! read more

Sharkey's is the most ICONIC bar in Blacksburg! With chain restaurants moving in, it's hard to find a place with its history. Every Hokie alum has a Sharkey's story. Where else can you get a Crabby Patty with sweet potato fries in the heart of downtown? The staff treats the employees and patrons like family. It's the perfect place to watch the game or relax in the sun on the patio. I can't wait to see the recent renovations! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER. NEVER COMING BACK. Kicked out my friends for being completely sober and didn't even let her hear a word from her. I am so disappointed and I will never come back!! read more

Probably one of the best places around town to get good food and cheap drinks. I gotta say their wings are really good but they aren't that spicy. Even their hottest sauce, 9-1-1, packs a punch, but could be less spicer than some jalapeños. The Philly cheese steak wrap was great and I would definitely come here again. Drinks: Long Island Iced tea (Good Classic), Tropical Iced Tea (Good for a fruity taste), Blue Motorcycle (Good drink in general), Hokie Crush (Eh, not bad) read more

I was completely sober and after my first drink I got kicked out. I was standing by the bar and didn't do anything but clean up our glasses. They won't even listen to us while we tried to find a reason for why I was being kicked out. Genuinely thought it was a joke when the guy approached me and said I had to leave. Lowkey disappointed because I waited an hour in line to get in. Sorry for the complaint just cannot believe this happened and don't want anyone to feel insecure if the same thing happened to them. read more

Great wings , ribs and more with great service ! Sit outside and take in the town of Blacksburg pick your food from an extensive menu, and reasonably priced. The service is wonderful but please ask for Savannah! She is amazing along with Aiden and Patrick. Shout out to them for exceptional service . read more

A place which professes to be a wing and rib joint should always have those two items available on the menu. Although I visited on a Sunday, ribs should have been available. Overall the place felt dirty and lack of cleanliness, service was over all absent. read more

I've been here a few times now, my go to when I'm in town. Typical college bar -- lots of cheap drinks and decent food -- and not the cleanest looking/feeling place. Also means you'll run into people wasted at 10pm. This time I ordered chicken fingers, they were good but not as good as the wings! read more

This place absolutely rocks but one thing that would make it 10x better is another women's bathroom lol. If they had another bathroom this place would be unstoppable (more than it already is). I couldn't take any stars away because this place is such a 5 star joint but another bathroom would be a great investment. Me and my friends want to get married here read more

Great overall experience! I took my 2 college sons and their 3 friends for Monday burger night. Alex L did a super job waiting on us - friendly, knew the menu, refilled drinks quickly, and was attentive to our needs (brought ketchup and extra napkins without asking!!). Food was delivered in a timely manner. All 6 orders came out correct and hot. This was my 2nd visit and both times I have been quite satisfied. read more

I love Sharkeys!!! Such a reasonable happy hour with great drinks, great atmosphere, and a great variety of tables! I LOVE their fingers and fries - their seasoned fries are the best in town. Today, I got a BLT - be sure to ask for Mayo on it!!! The salad portions are huge (highly recommend the chicken tender salad), and their grilled chicken sandwich is delicious too. Absolutely recommend for the whole family - but be careful at night as it turns in to the best bar in town!! read more

This place is a disgrace! They treat the customers with no respect! They are all on an ego trip and have no professionalism! They took my real ID and threatened to call the cops! I had to call the cops to get my ID back. This place is ridiculous and I don't recommend. read more

Took my friends id because he accidentally left it and I had to call the cops to get it back. As I told the workers ,before they kicked us out, t's illegal to keep someone's ID (personal property) which the cops had to tell the clueless worker about 10 mins after they forced us out (when we were simply asking for the id back no aggression) I guess asking for your property back makes people mad? After less than 15 mins he got his ID back after the cop went inside and told him exactly what I did and we went on our merry way. read more

Definitely recommend the staff were so nice and the food was so good got cheese fries that were so loaded with melted nachos cheese and the veggie chili nachos that were huge i was not expecting how huge the were but they were good read more

Just had the most rude service from a waitress named Ashley. Asked about the special and she told me very rudely to look at the menu online.

2pm on a Saturday. Hokies not playing today Should be a pretty good time to go here, right? So wrong!!! There's a sign at the front "Please wait to be greeted". They aren't kidding. Hostess came & left to the booth 3 times without offering a single word of greeting. When we finally sat down, we waited so long without a single word from a server, that I had to get up & as the hostess if she was "sure" that someone was working our section. Waitress finally comes over (we'd been here 15 minutes by now) and says "I am your server.. I need to bring that table there drinks, get this other tables' order & then I can get yours". Seriously!?? We left. read more

The worst experience I've had with costumer service in years. the Bartender and manager told me that I had to finish my drink before I could close my tab. I told her I didn't think that was legal and she said "it's policy". I came back the next day and she said, " I was sober I'm not sure about you so I think you made a mistake" And "I've been doing this for 10 years I wouldn't make that kind of mistake." (also it was my first beer and I was sober). essentially she said because you were a customer at the bar you can't be right. which sounds like the complete opposite of what should be the case. Owner was nice and agreed that she was in the wrong but I'm sure nothing will come of our conversation so here I am leaving a review. read more

It's a college bar but I have to say they have excellent wings. Great place for what it tries to be and recommend stopping in.

For an establishment that is as filthy as this one, I'm shocked the food was as good as it is. The dining tables were extremely sticky and felt like they had never been wiped down, ever. It was pretty uncomfortable to be honest because no one wanted to touch the table. The bathrooms were literally the most disgusting bathrooms I've ever countered. There were about 30 flies just buzzing around in there, trash everywhere, doors don't work and it smells like sewage. Food was pretty good surprisingly enough, it's cheap and made for college kids on a budget. The portions were fair and everything was seasoned as requested. The service was pretty slow but again, my expectations weren't very high to begin with. at all. read more

Food was good. It's a college town bar/grill so that's what your going to get. Ordered the wings to split and they were cooked good. And the onion rings were large and crispy. Service wasn't great... asked a question about a food item was told "'it's on the menu"...ok. Drinks were cold. read more

Decent place. Got the breakfast burger and it was pretty flavorless. The fries were just regular fries. Nothing spectacular about this place: probably wouldn't return. The only thing I liked was that the burger was buy one get one free. read more

Not the spot. Trash. Incredible frustrating to pay for my meal expecting to stay and then hearing they would no longer serve us alcohol because they wanted new customers. Bummer-- could have had potential as a great spot. read more

Probably one of the most over rated bars down town. Every time I've gone to this bar I've had terrible service. The last straw was when I ordered a drink from bartender "John"(probably not even his real name). Before this he looks at me an scowls, I proceeded to ask the bartender for a mixed drink suggestion and he rolls his eyes makes me ask a second time after clearly hearing me and gives me a watered down Shirley temple. Pretty average I guess from what I've heard. Overall ok bar and the happy hour is alright but service is a different story. When I called the bar to at least let them know about my experience some manager told me he would relate this to the owner and said I'd get get a call back. I did not... read more

In Blacksburg to see daughter, went in for lunch on patio. Young man at door said it was ok to have dog on patio. Went to patio, with dogs then was told my daughter under 21 was not allowed. This is a restaurant? After multiple requests spoke with Mgr who was polite! But the young boy, maybe 21 working the door was extremely rude to us. What happened to respect your elders? Apparently the door boy missed that lesson. I will never spend a dime in at sharkeys in Blacksburg. Take your business next door to The Cellar and ask for Brezzy, AWESOME! read more

if I could give a zero for my experience tonight at sharkeys I would. I am a senior at Virginia tech and I have worked in customer service for 8 years. tonight I went to sharkeys to have dinner with a couple of girlfriends and at the end of the night a friend of mine need a box. she kindly asked the waitress but our waitress was pretty busy so she forgot, it happens. we were in a bit of a rush so I decide to ask another waitress passing by. I asked the waitress if she could possibly grab a box for us as our waitress had forgotten. she gave me a rude "yeah in a couple of minutes" but I didn't take it to heart because I could tell she was busy and I decided to instead ask the bartender behind the bar if he could grab a box when he had a moment, he kindly said yes. when I turned around the waitress was standing there and slammed a box onto the table saying "stop asking everyone for a box or you are going to get a million fucking boxes" stunned I said wow. I then turned to my friends in shock and turned back to the waitress and said "that is just great customer service" and turned back to my friends when she walked away again, stunned and said what a bitch because truly I had never been treated that way. the waitress continued to come behind me and yell to get the fuck out and scream that line continuously while also saying I was getting kicked out. the bouncer asked what was going on and the waitress said "she's screaming to everyone that I'm a bitch so she's out" and the bouncer nodded I said to the bouncer "I called her a bitch because she was screaming at me and had terrible customer service. " and walked away. I have tried to call sharkeys 10 times tonight and can't get through to talk to anyone. I love sharkeys but I am very disappointed and still shocked by this experience. I get everyone has a bad day I truly do, but to be treated so unkindly when all I wanted was a box for a friend baffles me. read more

RUDE WAITRESS. we had asked our server for a box bus she was closing and obviously busy so we asked another waitress, ashlynn, if she could grab us a box whenever she gets the chance and she looked very flustered and said "yeah in a few minutes" in a little bit of a rude tone but no worries we're asking a favor. since she seemed preoccupied we decided to ask the bartender if they just had a box back there we could get when ashlynn comes storming back up, throws the box down and says and i quote "if you're going to ask everyone for a box you're gonna get a fucking million boxes." very aggressively. so the person with us said "wow. ok. great customer service" and then turned to us and said "she was being a bitch" to which the waitress said "if you're gonna fucking call me a fucking bitch you can get the fuck out now" and followed us to the door and fudged the story to the bouncer to where he was also telling us to get out. if she's treating us like this at 7 pm, i can only imagine she gets more and more aggressive throughout the night. something needs to be done about her. read more

Horrible. Went to the one in Radford a few months ago & had a horrible experience. Because of our experience we were given a gift certificate. Tonight we decided to try & use it at the Blacksburg location. We walked in at 5:45 behind a few other parties. The girl behind the counter looked at us like we were crazy (I'm guessing because we were a family of 4 with 2 kids). She immediately told me they were full. She didn't ask if we wanted to wait or anything. I asked her, well can we be put on a wait list & wait & she told me no. What kind of restaurant refuses business? & doesn't allow customers to wait for the next available table? She was rude & didnt explain why, just told us no. She clearly didn't want our business... probably because we had kids in tow (not babies). Don't waste your time with this horribly run establishment. Spend your money elsewhere. read more
