Shar-Ade Cocktail Lounge

Ok so I though I wanted to check this place out after reading some ok reviews about Friday nights. Boy was I WRONG! I pulled into the parking lot only to find lots of men outside… first thought three is no women so I better drive off but I was convened to stay (my sidekick) so we get carded outside then upon entering the bar it’s really small. It has a pool table and some chairs and a dj playing no music I’ve ever heard. I sit down order a drink (it was ok) but felt like I didn’t belong and I wanted to go so we did. Sad to say I would not be returning.

Bruh tacos are hella nasty here. Microwaved tortilla and weird tasting «meat» with spoon full of salt never again will i eat food at a bar what was i thinking. Atleast it was a dollar. I understand bars are trying to make a little extra money by selling food but maybe put alittle more effort in selling not the best quality food but some what decent even if you charge a little more maybe your place might end up being a restaurant anything to bring people in right?

A neighborhood dive bar is a jewel on a Friday night and this one doesn’t disappoint. The bartender, «Pico» is generous with liquor pours and nice enough to order some of the best fried fish you will eat from next door. Loud hip
hop and R&B on the radio with 2 pool
tables gives off food vibes. Cool spot…

Great spot! Friday’s they have a DJ playing new and old jams! Also have a juke box with good music! Good environment overall and bartender is awesome!

Enjoying a nice evening here at Shar-​Ade watching the warriors game and have tacos. Tuesday day night they have $ 1.25 tacos. Guess what if you love to entertain or being entertained that have Karaōke on Wednesday’s from 7 – 11 pm. I recommend this spot for good drinks and a good time.

Great drinks, great bartenders and the owners are fantastic and take care of their patrons. A hidden gem in the heart of the bay

Great local bar, good current music, the bartenders are fun and engaging, they have food and specials for every holiday or sporting event, and the friday/​saturdays are always a good time out. in the Daytime theres a Soul Food restaraunt next door that you can order food from and eat at the bar, good times!

Everybody is cool, the musics good, the drinks are cold… and strong, and you can get great food while you’re there. This place is AWSOME!!!

I love it here the people who own and run it are dedicated and I respect the s$&t outa that. It’s a great bar with a nice small town feel. Good people on both sides of the rail

Check thus place out !! Cool spot. Taco’s Tuesdays too. Nice dive bar. Gonna hit it on a Friday !! Most Definitely.
A couple of pool tables and strong drinks mixed to perfection !! I’ll be back !!

I love the day bartender. Great location for me. Good pour in bucket drinks. There is a good food joint next door who will deliver.
Food joint is open Tuesday — Saturday until 10 pm. So, if you are a night owl, get there early for food.
Bar opens around 3 pm and closes at 2 am, if it’s busy. If slow, it closes at midnight.
They have great people. There is a comedy club on Thursday nights (10 – 11:30 pm) — Shh! It’s a semi-​secret… Comedy not bad!
Good Place to Relax!
Music available — for money…
It’s open seven days a week and the same day time bartender!
Enjoy! It’s a great place to unwind.

I love coming to this place! It’s right across the street from my house so it’s the best! Bartender is usually an old lady, but don’t judge because she makes awesome drinks! She’ll chat it up with you if you want, but she leaves you alone when you want to be left alone. When my homegirls and I go drinkibg she always ask «Who’s driving» and if she doesn’t agree she’ll say so. There are two pool tables, if you don’t shoot it’s always funny to watch the OGs. If that’s not your thing they have a tv that’s using playing sports channel. The jukebox has all the latest tunes & folks usually play fair! This bar has nothing but good vibes and I’ve never had a bad experience. Good music, good people, good vibes what else can you ask for! Oh, they have snacks too so it’s super awesome!

I am not a club person, so instead I come here and socialize with the crowd. The bartenders are super nice and they make the drinks right. I’d choose this place over any club just because of the fun atmosphere. I love how each night has a theme and drink specials. I always have a story to tell the day after!

A Gem in the rough, no comparison.

They play Bay Area Slaps… No uppity I-​Phone Check in Crowd here…
Besides, I met my Wife here… Thats whats up.

Sharades is a no frills dive bar but I am a fan. The bartender is friggen awesome! She’s so nice and always chats with us and gives us free drinks (always with the same top shelf liquors that we’ve had in our paid drinks) every time we go. Some might think the crowd is a lil hood but I myself don’t mind that and find the crowd here cool. Superb music on the juke box and we always get it bumpin in here. There’s a cool guy to play darts with (David I think) most nights I’ve been. They also have a couple of pool tables and there’s always some guys to play with. They also have a boxing game to test your machismo (I can’t be the only girl who likes to right?). Cool lil local dive bar, me likes.

So me and my buddies have been driving on Mission road all the way up from Milpitas looking for a bar.
The tells for a dive are usually the same, a soft glow from a Tecate/​Heineken/​Budweiser neon sign, a group of motorcycles or cars in a parking lot that supposed to be empty because it’s 10pm and all stores are closed.
So you can only imagine the excitement when my boys and I finally found these tells since we’ve been driving on Mission road all the way up from Milpitas. It’s like walking through the desert all dehydrated and you finally see «Shar-​Ade Cocktail lounge.» in a light pink neon glow. Sweet.
Bust right in not knowing what to expect since no dives ever have windows. And we did, the crowd kinda looks Oakland side show, ghost ridin’, hang out on International blvd –ish. But all good, past the point of no return and head strait to the bar and act like we belong minus the du-​rags
The bartender, a mid-​40ish year old Korean woman, about 4’12″ with heels, super tiny, she could probably fit in a shoe box, absolutely the last person I would have expected to be running this joint was completely overseeing the bar without any problems calmly tells us and I quote,…
«Leht mi seee yo eye-​dee, i doh wahh no twubble»
I guess whatever she served in her kool-​aid worked and her calming presence had everyone peaceful. Bloods and crips played pool together, the sun started shining at 10pm, Obama became president, etc.
Not a bad lil spot to check out while your in the area, also there is a soul food joint right next door that looks super good.

Oh my goodness… this place is an utter nightmare! My roommates and I made the MISTAKE of going to this place one night for some late night drinks. When we walked in, there was only a handful of people in there and they were… lets just say special! There’s a pool table in the back that and from what i could tell a back door going outside too.
I got attacked by this random, weird looking old guy who felt it was perfectly fine to come into my personal space. After walking away from him once, when i was ordering drinks he came back for a second chance! At that point my roommate and to tell him to back the eff up.
The best part was being told by one of the girls who works there that we can’t hang as drinkers. We were on our first round of drinks and clearly NOT staying. Lol, my roommate made an excuse saying he was tired and she turned around and told us that she’s a mother of 2 young kids, worked all day and was here all night hanging out and dancing — so if she wasn’t tired we shouldn’t complain. Ummm lady, why aren’t you at home looking after your kids?!

You know, I’ve only really had one legal drink at this place. Shar-​Ade was the place the corrupted me during my time at Cal State Hayward. Ffrom 1999 to good part of 2000 Shar-​Ade was the place to be in Hayward for us college students.
Then they got into trouble for serving us under-​21 people. And we didn’t even have fake ID’s.
Three stars for the memories, if it wasn’t for that, this place would be pure sketch.

a nice bar where serious drinking gets done without serious side effects except drunkenness. nothing special at the bar. mostly beer drinkers here, i.e. buds, coors.
