Sharky’s Place was opened by Jack Pinkstaff in 1992. Jack decided to hang up his spurs in 2012 and let Randy & Simone Wilson, who moved to Raleigh from New Orleans, continue the Sharky’s legacy and it has been a pleasure restoring this Raleigh icon to its former glory. Since taking ownership, the Wilson family has won numerous awards from Best Wings (x4), Best Neighborhood Bar, Best Place to Shoot Pool, Best Sports Bar, and on and on.

With Sharky’s 20 large screen tv’s, 2-8’ drop down screens plus a dog-friendly patio with TV viewing, 5 gold crown billiard tables and 7 professional dart boards. Sharky’s is truly real “Sports Bar” where anyone of (almost) any age can have a great time with friends and family.

Sharky’s has gone to great effort to have an outstanding whiskey selection, 24 beers (and Hurricanes) on tap and with the new Kitchen an outstanding menu of fresh food and peppering’s of New Orleans cuisine like Shrimp and Roast Beef Po-Boys, Louisiana Gumbo, Red
Beans & Rice, and don’t miss the seafood specials.

“They” say that Sharky’s has become a Raleigh institution, and one of the Best Neighborhood bars in the Triangle, but we believe it to be one of the best IN THE WORLD. Come join us and we believe you’ll agree. Hope to see ya soon!
