Review of Baja Sharkeez Hermosa Beach

It's very hard to consistently have a good experience here. I'm in Hermosa Beach everyday and always try to support the local business as they tend to have a lot of pride in there work. Sharkeez is a big exception. I try to avoid this place at all cost. Definately the food is never the reason anyone goes there. It's a place to be seen and to see people. The only good thing about it is that it is ALWAYS open. most good bars/restaurants in the area will close when there isn't enough business because it's expensive to hire quality workers. But this place is just a joke. Avoid this establishment if possible.

I finally had my last straw with this place when i was waiting for a friend and i was sitting outside. An older woman who was clearly drunk came over and started harrassing me. I told her to leave me alone and she threatened by saying that she was an "investor" and part-owner and that she could kick me out in 5 minutes. I told her i wouldn't mind if she did because at this point she had now come and sat next to me which seemed ironic since I was the one "annoying" her. The manager at that time asked me to leave and I told him what happened. He said it was a "sticky situation" and there was nothing he could do. To his credit he said he would comp me drinks the next time I come in but Even if they gave me an open bar I wouldn't come back. I grew up in Hermosa my whole life. Worked all day running a volleyball tournament for kids under 18 at the pier and wanted a beer and a place to sit.

Sharkess wants to change the enviornment down at hermosa, if they do then more power to them. But if my voice is heard at all I would hope they take there chain somewhere else.
