If there was the option to leave a negative amount of stars I would take stars away from this review. At this point I would think that 3 stars is far too gracious. I feel terrible for the staff having to be employed in such a dirty environment they must really be desperate for work. This place smells like a combination of toes and bootyholes. I can see why it’s called landsharks can you imagine the smell of a shark on land VERY stinky.

Really enjoy coming to this bar- the music is great and the environment has so much energy! Big shoutout to Neil, I lost my wallet and he took the time outside of working hours to make sure I got it safely. As a new 21 year old, I’m making this place one of my top places to visit on a weekend and top recommendation to my friends. Thanks Neil and staff!!!

This is an awesome spot. Always good energy, good music, and good drink prices. People always end up here around midnight and dance until the lights come on. The could call it “The End Up” because it’s at the end of the strip and you just find yourself there after spending so much time in Broadripple.

I am well over 21 and the bouncer was incredibly rude and unwilling to admit he was wrong after claiming my ID was fake. Showed multiple forms of ID, my snap birthday, and my 21st birthday post from awhile ago because I was so frustrated. I told the staff member they could have the police scan it but was told no. Really felt like the attitude I was given was over the top for even a bouncer- I understand they have to be stern but was at the point of tears. Police officer outside was willing to vouch for my ID but also told me landsharks wasn’t worth it if I didn’t feel like facing the bouncer again. Just really disappointed because I wanted to try a new spot but really discouraged from going back. I have a very real Indiana license and the fact that a bouncer in Indiana couldn’t recognize that was bizarre

This is the spot you want to be at!! Great mix of music and DJ is great with request!! There are so many bartenders you never have to wait too long and drinks are very fairly priced!! If you want to have some kind of celebration they hands down have the best and most VIP sections in broad ripple!! So go check it out I promise you wont be disappointed!!

Nice dance floor, very private. Management was quick to fix our bartenders mistake at no charge to us. I felt safe at the club. I think the lights could be dimmed, which might encourage more dancing :)

The manager met me at the door; real cool gentleman bought me a drink and made sure I was good throughout the night. Very energetic atmosphere, the dj was playing hits after hits this Saturday night very good vibe and a lot of good people dancing and having fun. I will definitely be back!! Thanks Neil for the live atmosphere and keeping the crowd entertained the whole night. Also the driisks were A1 no complaints definitely a place to stop buy and go in broad ripple

Its ok. Im 32 and they are playing the same music as when I came there when I was 21. I like all types of music 80,90s, to today but it would of been nice to hear some different music. also there bartenders at least the blonde do NOT know how to make drinks. I noticed the past few times we have been the drinks are very poor. I dont expect world class for a dance club but they where just awful and didnt know how to make ANYTHING even simple stuff and that was with the waitress remaking our drink twice

I was meeting a few friends there after the Oregon Kansas game. This was our first time here. The bartenders are nice and friendly but the music wasnt to my liking. I went up to the dj and slipped him 20 to play my favorite rap song. He said that management does not allow rap. It seemed strange because a few minutes later he played rap. I asked him what artist and styles he had and he was very vague and not helpful. This is the first time I ever had a song request rejected. Most of the customers there are in their mid 30s. My group of friends are 22 to 23 so we ended up leaving. I hate giving this place such a low rating because everyone(other then the dj) was so nice to me, but I had a horrible time.

Stopped in for a quick beer. Congenial atmosphere, good service, reasonable prices, and music that was non-assaultive. Im impressed that the establishment at least was trying to raise the level of the music above rap and hip-hop. No live music, but at least the DJ had enough integrity not to be bribed by a 20.

Review №13

The vibe is pretty cool when they open up all three bars for the college crowd, but besides that, my experience has been below par. Every time I go, I get physically sick the morning after (which doesn’t happen at any other bar I go to). I don’t wanna blame it on the quality of the drinks they serve, but I can’t think of any other possible explanation.

Review №14

Their manager is super rude.They will kick you out of your table in 70 minutes. Even if you are still ordering drinks they want you to get out of your table and re check with the host to get seated AGAIN. ILL NEVER GO BACK THERE!

Bartender was rude and the drinks tasted watered down. Atmosphere is trash, dirty floor, dirty bathrooms, every chair in the place wobbles or is broke. It was a waste of time and money to go to this bar.

Review №17

This is by far, my favorite place to party in broad ripple! I cant remember not having a great night at LandSharks! The drink prices are right on point and the DJ plays all the hottest song as well as any requests that you may have! If you are thinking of venturing out into the broad ripple night life, make sure you stop by LandSharks before you go anywhere else! You wont be disappointed!

Did not know you had to wear dress pants to get inside. Was told I couldn’t enter wearing khaki shorts. Disappointing experience for a 21st birthday. Bit ridiculous to expect people to be wearing dress pants in summer heat while out at night in broad ripple. Will not be going back here. Didn’t seem like the kind of place to be requiring business attire, very strange.

Bouncer pushed me out for no reason. Very jealous place. Cheap drinks and poor jealous bouncers. Some of the staff are awesome but due to an extreme experience with the bouncer I have to give this place a 1 star.

Landsharks was super helpful when for planning my boyfriends birthday bar-game crawl! The managers and staff were awesome. We set up tables for flip cup and sink the biz in the side area. Really fun place to go any weekend!!

Bouncers are very mean and dont care about your situation. Went to my car to grab something for like five minutes. On the way out I told the bouncer I would be right back and when I got back he said I couldnt re enter. My girlfriend was in there (very drunk) and I couldnt help her and my tab was still open. I explained my situation and they didnt care at all

Well I wish I could give a better review on the actual atmosphere of the place but I was turned down at the door because the guy told me I was too drunk to get in. I had 1 drink. I even turned around and started talking to the cop... yeah real drunk. Dont waste your time going there if you want to have fun.

I rated this place a 4 star during a bar crawl after severald drinks-edited to a 3 star.FOR FUTURE REFERENCEThey advertise a certain price drinks but dont include tax like most bars. If they advertise a 5 dollar shot give them 6 dollars 💸

Review №25

I dont dance(in public) lol so i dont like going here anymore. great place if u wanna dance but if not ur basically gonna stand around watching others dance which isnt very fun. Broad Ripple is for 18-21 yr olds who are still living free w/out a care and for 30&up people who are over caring what others think at that age. i dont fit in any of those brackets so Ripple isnt for me anymore. catch me at Revel or Bartinis.

This place is the best place in broadripple. they remember you if you come in often and all the bartenders remember what you drink if they see you enough. i never go anywhere else because i feel like i am amoung friends when i am there and they always know how to take care of me.

Great atmosphere and drinks, but dont expect to dance much. Terrible DJ and music. I expected more from broad ripple. If you get the opportunity, drink at land sharks, but just dance at the lobster.

I would say Fridays are the best to go because its not over crowd on the dance floor other than that I love it the strip reminds me of deep elm in Dallas,Texas.
