The Shim Sham Room

Unfortunately, the Shim Sham restaurant and bar has gained a reputation for racism, homophobia, and transphobia, which is enforced by the owners. They have been known to intentionally target black individuals and enforce their dress code selectively for black customers and this was my experience as well. In addition, one of the owners, Dustin, has been reported to be extremely rude and transphobic, to the extent of yelling at customers who come to him with complaints. This type of behavior is unacceptable and unprofessional. It is essential to recognize that by continuing to patronize establishments like Shim Sham, we are indirectly supporting racism, homophobia, and transphobia. It is vital to speak out against this type of behavior and not support businesses that engage in it. In summary, based on the information provided, the Shim Sham restaurant and bar has a concerning reputation for discrimination, and customers should take this into account when deciding where to spend their money.

The bartenders were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and softly lit with a few places for photo ops. The downside is there are no quiet areas and it is too loud to hear what anyone is saying and the upstairs area was uncomfortably hot and humid. If you order food, it may take the wait staff/bartenders a while to get back to you. Personally, it was okay, but I wouldn't go back.

Great bar! Love the fact that there is an upstairs and a downstairs. Usually eat downstairs have a few drinks and then make my way upstairs to dance! Dj Nick Fresh on Fridays always kills it! FYI I was there last Friday and sounds like the top left QSC speaker is blown (if you're facing the DJ). Pretty sure this is a recent occurence because I don't remember it being blown before.

I used to come here a lot, but now it’s the only one I can’t go now because I like to use crop tops. A BEACH BAR, I mean? C’mon guys, you can do it better. Also security with the worst attitude ever. Bye forever ShimSham

This place is not currently open. Paper over the windows. Sounded like an awesome place though.
