Sharky’s

Sharky’s is located right across the street from McGovern’s. Although it used to be open for lunch now it opens around 4:00, although it might open earlier on the weekends. Although it does have outside tables it is not ideal for kids because the outdoor dining area is pretty close to the road. However, it remains an extremely attractive option, not only because it serves excellent food and drink, but because of the Shark Attack cocktail. This mixed drink, served in a pint glass, is made of rum and pineapple juice and comes garnished with a sizable rubber shark biting the rim, a rivulet of blood-red grenadine running from its mouth and into the drink. Sipping their virgin shark attacks and kid-friendly placemats and crayons make for a happy hour everyone can enjoy.

Getting There: Follow the directions to McGovern’s and look across the street. There is a pretty big parking lot next door to Sharky’s. Telephone: (401) 466-9900
