Sharkey’s Summer

Home to killer music lineups, beach volleyball, and the best happy hour in town!

It is going to be a great summer at the Sharkey’s event center!

Home to an amazing lineup of national acts and the best local bands that Syracuse has to offer. All shows will be on the newly remodeled Jim Beam Stage with a newly upgraded sound system. All of the shows are under the Burritt Motors Pavilion. So, rain or shine Sharkey’s has you covered.

The owners, Jim and Kristin Nichols, are proud to have put together a venue that has such an array of different events and activities: all of the Big Bands; the Best Bike Night with FX Caprara Harley Davidson Bike on Thursdays; volleyball leagues every night of the week and a newly added cornhole league is on Tuesdays; and a plethora of event options including Clam Bakes, Backyard BBQ’s, company picnics, celebrations of life, weddings, and any other event you can dream up!

The venue is family-friendly with plenty of outside patio seating surrounding the outside Tiki Bar which makes it ideal for grabbing an ice cold Bud Light or sipping on a Jim Beam Bourbon (or two) on a warm summer day. And Sharkey’s has “the best happy hour in the universe!”

There is plenty of parking and it will always be a good time at Sharkeys. Enjoy!
