Our first night in Coron brought us to Sharkey's while in town seeking out dinner. Sharkey's is a restaurant and bar (a.k.a restobar) that is very foreigner friendly with English speaking staff on hand. It looks small on the outside but has ample seating inside. They accommodate large groups with the option to rent out a private party room off to the right for special occasions. They have a pool table and a separate stage where they hold nightly entertainment. The overall atmosphere is lively and fun. The menu is affordable for western standards with tasty and large portions. We had plenty left over afterwards. Service is slow so keep your expectations low. You're in Coron on vacation and everything here is run on island time. Express service is simply nonexistent. Adjust your plans if you're on a tight schedule otherwise you will be disappointed. They don't have a parking lot. We were dropped off via tricycle and this was one of the few restobars open past dinner hour. read more

It's a vibe in Sharkey's. First of all, they have so many services including a salon and hair braiding. It's pretty impressive . As for the food, menu is big so there's something for everyone. They have plenty of Filipino food options as well as for their international tourists (like pizza and pasta). They also have a large drink menu. Beware that these are huge servings so definitely too much food for my husband and I. We came at 7pm and it was not crowded at all. They also had a very talented live band singing and playing instruments. read more

Sharky's - Premium bottles - Pubs Near Me - Coron, PLW

Sharky's was conveniently located right across the street from my hotel in Coron. I went to Sharky's two out of four nights that I stayed in Coron. There seemed to be locals and travelers hanging out there. They have live music every night (cover bands). The decor is nice. Goes with the shark theme. They have clever sayings on the wall. The restaurant is very airy and open. The Elmhurst shrimp was really good. It's a sweet/spicy garlic sauce with a slight hint of curry maybe. I couldn't quite put my finger on what I was tasting. The second night I actually wanted to try the elmhurst wings, but they heard my order wrong and brought shrimp. (The music is WAY TOO LOUD) Not a big deal- we ate it lol. Be prepared to eat the shrimp w/ the shell on. That's where are the flavor is. Bbq wings were over sauced. Tasted like American Wing Stop bbq sauce. They have a few different sauce options but no plain wings. I didn't really care for the loaded fries. The sisig was pretty good. The clamares was better the first night I went. Kinda bland the second time around. The breading was almost tempuraish but crispy and thicker. Out of the grilled platter I only tried the stuffed grilled squid. All I tasted was ginger. I didn't like that. The sisig was good though. Service was good. Very attentive staff. read more

Slow service and too many options. Cut down the menu, I'm sure if this happens they'll be able to get dishes out in under an hour. Waited over an hour for pizza and soup while a table next to us sat, ordered and received their food in 15 mins. It's hard to understand and not be upset at what we just witnessed. There was a table behind us that ordered the same time we did and were waiting just as long, if not longer. We ended up just going to the cashier and asking to pay for what food and drinks did make it to the table, which was probably 20% of our original order. The manager tried to give my husband a hard time about paying for the whole order and told him that we were told it was going to the a 30 min wait, but it was really 1 hour and 20 mins AFTER our order was taken and was never told of a 30 min wait. I hope the restaurant is able to make some changes because they need to. read more

Ate here with my party of 6. Their meals are served family style, we didn't know that. Prices are good. My tokwa't baby dip was too sweet but the stuffed squid was good, also on the sweet side. Service was pretty quick and attentive. Music a little loud for my 50+ ears. Overall a decent restaurant to visit. read more

This restaurant/bar (locals call it a "restobar") in Coron is actually the only place in town that has daily live music, and, as it's basically open air, a good part of the town can hear the music blasting from this place throughout the night. The drink specials are great for tourists and foreigners and the food has all been quite tasty. I even told my brother and sister-in-law that taste is priority number one in Filipino foods; health and all other concerns are a distant second. At this bar, beer buckets (get San Miguel) come with a side of kropek (shrimp chips), so you know, get that to start. If the hot weather isn't hot enough for you, go and order a sinigang soup. The broth of any sinigang worth its salt should be decidedly sour (from tamarind). This sourness is characteristically Filipino, and pleasantly contrasts with the rich fatty foods that will likely follow as the night goes on. The lapu-lapu is fried great. Sharky's has both brown and red versions. My cousin who was with me when I visited here is specifically allergic to the red version, so I only got try the brown version. Be forewarned, the grouper is fried whole, so there could be some scales and bones still left on it. The fried chicken here reminds me of a nice whole/half Filipino fried chicken back home in Los Angeles (at a place called the Crispy House), so I'm a huge fan of it here. A "Mang Tomas" gravy sauce accompanies the order, so that should round you out nicely. The pork sisig also comes out sizzling hot, and if you haven't ordered one before, this is a good place to introduce you to it. Just note that you ought to mix in the raw egg with the hot pork as soon as it arrives at your table. And be sure to take your blood pressure meds before you dig in. Sharky's has an "off menu" item that's pretty popular with foodies: crocodile sisig. Go and order it if you're feeling adventurous, but be aware, there could also be specks of scales in it. Easily identifiable though, and nothing a quick spit can't handle. And how does it taste overall? Per the usual response: like chicken. :) The bands that come on stage are pretty well versed in western music and songs, so feel free to have the waitstaff bring up your requests on a napkin to the band. The night I visited, the band played on despite a brief, five minute blackout (brownout), so I commend their dedication. My fellow Americans at the bar gave them a huge round of applause after they finished their song in the dim flood lights and humid Palawan night air. So don't feel embarrassed about putting in a song request (Filipino or otherwise). If you need inspiration, may I suggest anything by Journey or the Black Eyed Peas?...for obvious reasons. read more

This was a nice surprise for us. This is the second time we've been in Coron and heard about Sharky's. So this time we were on a hunt for late night eats and this was the only place open after 10pm on a Monday night. We ordered Chicharon Bulaklak (deep fried pork intestines), Elmurst Shrimp and grilled squid. They were all very good. I also ordered Long Island ice tea which had me buzzed in no time. They have lots to choose from between Filipino and American foods. They have Buffalo Wings! Others enjoyed Hukka and live music. read more

We went to the Philippines on a family vacation and were in Coron for almost a week and went to Sharky's almost everyday. The food was amazing and the vibe of the restaurant was great. They have a bubble tea shack on the outside of the restaurant that was very good and cheap (compared to what I am used to in Canada). We tried most of the stuff on the menu and loved basically everything. Our favourite items were the garlic rice, coconut shrimp, lechón, grilled salmon, curry fish, fish and chips, sweet and sour pork, and of the bubble tea I especially liked the matcha milk tea and it was even good with no sugar. read more

Sharky's - Pubs Near Me - Coron, PLW

Sharky's is great! I especially loved the crab fat shrimp. I came here with my family and we all loved it so much we ended up coming three times during our trip. The layout is nice, it has a bar AND a bubble tea bar in the front, and the food is really good compared to a lot of other Filipino places we tried both in Coron and elsewhere. On one of the nights there was an amazing band (the singer was off the hook), on the second night there was a dj from Canada, and on the third night it was open for karaoke. It feels like an adult space but it was also family friendly, which was perfect. Highly recommend! read more
