The place is in the basement of the Faubourg, which in itself is a terrible building. It becomes a concrete bunker with extremely dim lighting. I guess if you want to play pool or go bowling then you can come here since they have many billiard tables.
They have a two for one deal on drinks, which is ok if you want to get drunk. As for the atmosphere its either been really busy or empty. The decor also could use some updating, unless that's the style they want.
The food is your typical bar food....its edible.
I try and avoid coming here, but sometimes I can't get out of it because of others. -

Sharx was always a must-see for my friends when they visited me in Montreal, and now it's on my list for the times when I myself come back. And it's not just because of the cute waitresses in little black skirts, or the 2 for 1 happy hour. Though those help.
Sharx is primarily a pool hall, with at least fifty tables and plenty of room to spread out, though they also have a lounge and game area, and even bowling. It's essentially a huge, dark, concrete basement, but with a cool club vibe that keeps it from feeling dingy.
The food isn't half bad, either. I was there bowling on a Friday afternoon at the same time as somebody's office party, and they shared all the finger food with us--one time there was such a thing as a free lunch. -

It's a pool hall and nothing more, just a very large one with music that doesn't destroy your ear drums with sexy service. The drinks are well prepared but have no real zing and if you order food... it's at your own peril. The food, if I can call it such a thing, is your typical bar food, nachos, quesadillas and wings. As with most bar food, you need to be properly alcoholised in order to mildly enjoy it. It's drunk food, drunk enough to consume anything.
The pool tables are well maintained, so are the sticks (from what I saw). The place is group-ready but not my cup of tea. It was perfect for our last minute happy hour party but it's a dive and I say dive with its negative connotation. -

This venue is something else, serving as a bowling alley and a billiard lounge. Unfortunately, the billiard lounge is more impressive. The bowling alley section is limited. All the balls are plastic; there are no urethane house balls on the premises. There was this sign boasting that a 300 game would mean a free game. The expiration date had already expired and my turkey dream ended in the third frame.
Still I am happy this business exists. It's a great time out from the sin city nightlife.

partied all night in Montreal?
Had some brunch and looking to relax in a low light enviroment?
Sharx is perfect.
Great pool tables, deals on pitchers, great services, lots of flatscreens for sports. -

For me this is a Skartch in a basement and it looks like a place run by mob or drug cartel with those «little person» sofa. So I think the best way to explain why I gave a generous 2 stars is to say the story. I went there for a 5-7 after a rough and stressful week. I go to everybody, I'm paying the first round, what do you want? I get to the bar and the barmaid looks like she's stressed like hell. I won't hold it against her. But then she says: It will take time. I'm good. Still cool. another guy from the gang says I got a Waitress ( yeah this place is mob-looking cause it look like a Bunker ...sorry a Huge Bunker!) . I'm like, it's okay I'm going to wait here. Then the Barmaid says: Go with her, you'll have your drink faster! YEAH That's when I got pissed! I didn't say anything though, my superego held me back. So i get back there, the waitress just arrived, I order , my 1st round kind got barmaidbitch-block and then the waiting started. Like. I was watching sport and i think I watched the whole 8 minutes segments before the waitress comes back with her tray with a full 2 beers! SO i guess that when she came back to bitchbarmaid she was yelled at since she was new. Ok. I'm loosing up a up. Rationalizing the fact: She's new, give her a break buddy! But then, another Sport news start and I covered everything, She comes back with a full tray and of course, not mine, that one was ANOTHER special 1-drink-delivery. Karma suck!? Was it me! OH Karma! Please kick in! I play pool and I win without winning! Yeah my pool partner double-pocket the Queue ball and the 8. Boyah! *Does anynoby still say that, nope, i don't think so! I'm so oldschool it's pathetic* That was fun, great table, the queues are not not that bad! That's the added star I guess! The drink of our lady friends were tasteless and almost unalcoholized. YEah it kinda suck!
OK c'est comme le Skratch mais dans un sous-sol puis ça ressemble à un bunker de mafieux. J'ai dis bunker mais je voulais dire SUPER Bunker; C'est énorme! Pas étonnant que le service soit aussi lent. La meilleure façon de l'expliqué c'est de raconter ma soirée. J'étais dans une 5 à 7 puis j'offre la première tournée a tout le monde pour commencer ça en grand. J'arrive au bar puis la barmaid est vraiment stressé et m'annonce que ça risque de prendre du temps avant de prendre la commande. Je dis c'est correct, j'peux comprendre, elle a l'air seul a fournir le bunker. Alors j'm'asseois sur ces banc-de-petites-personne et je sens comme une grosse patate sur un pouf! Très sexy! La un des gars du groupe me dit, a j'Ai une waitress, j'y dit, c'Est beau, j'ai la premiere tournée. La Barmaid dit: Tu devrais aller t'asseoir ca va être plus vite. PArdon? Ouin moi j'en ait pour un boute. Hmm.. Okk, C'est bon, je vais m'asseoir. Je comprends pas pourquoi mais son attitude pis sa manière de le dire à comme tué ma bonne humeur. Je vais me rasseoir la waitress commencait a prendre la commande, pis la evidemment ma tournée est tombée à l'eau. On se commande quelque chose et puis on attend. On attend pas loin de 10 minutes, on avait le temps de regardé un segment complet au canal des sports. Elle revient avec DEUX bières. Oui. C'était Pééé-sant sur son petit plateau je suis certain! Elle repart, après elle a du se faire engueuler un peu car elle est revenu après 2 segments avec les drinks de tout le monde sauf le miens. Elle a fait un autre gros voyage d'un drink pour moi. Je me suis senti presque spécial! Le Karma n'était pas au Rendez-vous! Disons simplement que j'voulais retourné dans ces bonnes grâces puis j'ai joué au pool, c'était bien. J'ai gagné sans gagné vraiment. Hmm un double-pocket de la blanche puis de la 8. Et vlan, dans les dents! C'était la raison pour laquelle je rajoute une étoile. Sinon les filles m'ont dit que leur drink goutait l'eau. Ouin! Pas génial.
