This place is not currently open. Paper over the windows. Sounded like an awesome place though.

Great place to go and hang out! Everyone who goes has at least one picture with the bear. The truth is some of the best hangover food you can have hands down

The Bartenders need to be on adderall.They're all scattered brained.Mine ended up with a $17 tip. Because I couldn't wait that long for my change.?

The bartenders were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and softly lit with a few places for photo ops. The downside is there are no quiet areas and it is too loud to hear what anyone is saying and the upstairs area was uncomfortably hot and humid. If you order food, it may take the wait staff/bartenders a while to get back to you. Personally, it was okay, but I wouldn't go back.

Unfortunately, the Shim Sham restaurant and bar has gained a reputation for racism, homophobia, and transphobia, which is enforced by the owners. They have been known to intentionally target black individuals and enforce their dress code selectively for black customers and this was my experience as well.In addition, one of the owners, Dustin, has been reported to be extremely rude and transphobic, to the extent of yelling at customers who come to him with complaints. This type of behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional.It is essential to recognize that by continuing to patronize establishments like Shim Sham, we are indirectly supporting racism, homophobia, and transphobia. It is vital to speak out against this type of behavior and not support businesses that engage in it.In summary, based on the information provided, the Shim Sham restaurant and bar has a concerning reputation for discrimination, and customers should take this into account when deciding where to spend their money.

I used to come here a lot, but now it’s the only one I can’t go now because I like to use crop tops. A BEACH BAR, I mean? C’mon guys, you can do it better. Also security with the worst attitude ever. Bye forever ShimSham

The WORST management I have ever seen. Targeted one of our friends because he was African American. They didn't question anyone but him about his attire. His attire was appropriate and met Shim Shams attire expectations but they targeted him and questioned him regardless. The person at the door and the manager both refused entry despite his appropriate attire. The bouncer even said the manager was racist... DO NOT GO HERE!!!! This place is horrible.
the gm of this bar is terrible. the owner is racist and ao is the gm. my black boyfriend was not allowed in sinply because he did not have belt loops on his shorts. but..... nobody else was questioned...and they had on the same etire. this is bs and i will sue.

My husband and I came last week on a super slow night, the bar tender was attentive and fun. We got the nachos, but they barely had any toppings on them which was a let down. We ended the night with the absinthe shot that lights on fire which was a fun experience. The Bar tender even mixed up some drinks off the menu which was fun, but ended up costing twice as much as menu-drinks and we wish we had been warned because we walked away with a large bill that we should’ve meant we were smashed, but were barely tipsy at best.

Great bar! Love the fact that there is an upstairs and a downstairs.Usually eat downstairs have a few drinks and then make my way upstairs to dance! Dj Nick Fresh on Fridays always kills it!FYI - I was there last Friday and sounds like the top left QSC speaker is blown (if you're facing the DJ). Pretty sure this is a recent occurence because I don't remember it being blown before.

Wow!!!!! I have never seen in my life such a disgusting and shameful event in a bar or a club in which yo see security personnel pushing and hitting women down the stairs for no reason. Grabbing people by the neck for no reason. This cries in front of God eyes!!!!!!! Bar management should be ashamed of this kind of event happening in their business, I even feared for my security trying to avoid women being push down the stairs.

I visited this establishment last night and it was one of the worse experiences I’ve ever had. The bouncers were incredibly rude and aggressive to the point of choking a man and pushing ladies through the stairs for no reason. There are many ways to handle a situation professionally and violence is definitely not one of them. The bouncers in this bar need some serious training. In addition, we also felt discriminated since we got there.The club was horrible and I would not recommend anyone to go there...I will not be attending again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
