This past Friday, I was fortunate enough to gather some fabulous people in one fabulous establishment to have a small party to thank my Dani’s Decadent Deals fans. I started this blog a little less than 6 months ago and it has grown pretty quickly in terms of facebook fans and blog followers, so I wanted to give a quick thank you to everyone. I was hoping to meet some of the people I did not know and thank the people I do know as well.:) First of all, I want to give a big thank you to all of those that attended and also to Gia and Jen from Sharkeez in HB for helping me to arrange this gathering.


I recently was at a Zombie Pub Crawl in Huntington Beach put together by a local that was interested in meeting new people and having some Halloween fun and while I was at that party, I won a contest to have my own VIP party, so that was how this event transpired. Baja Sharkeez is a fun club/bar/restaurant that has 5 locations in California and one other location under a different name, Panama Joes. I have been to four out of the six locations in the past. The five Baja Sharkeez locations include Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Santa Barbara. The one location in Belmont Shores is called Panama Joe’s. The two locations I have yet to visit are Santa Barbara and Hermosa Beach.


Baja Sharkeez & Panama Joes are both definitely a fun time as can be seen in my pictures here, but I also wanted to share some upcoming awesome promos and deals for people interested in going out to party, relax or eat dinner at these places.:) I know that sometimes bar food is only so/so, but I must say I did enjoy the food at these establishments as well as the bevies!!:) When I lived in Newport Beach, we used to head down to the Baja Sharkeez for their free Friday Buffet that only went till 7pm or so and their fabulously yummy HUGE fishbowl drinks we would share. (I don’t think that the buffet still exists, but I loved it back in the day…like 1999-2002…lol) Below I will share four current offers and promotions going on at Sharkeez & Panama Joes right now, but just an fyi, there are always new promos and deals coming out for this establishment.


Promotion/Offer #1 – Ugly Sweater Party– This event is a customer appreciation party that has varying dates for each location, but will start at 9pm at each place.

Contact your closest Sharkeez to set up a Hookup Party with the promotions manager.

As can be seen above, Baja Sharkeez is definitely a great place to let loose and have fun with friends. I am happy that I planned my fan party at Sharkeez and the location I selected in Huntington Beach was just perfect for OC & LA people to gather. All of the Sharkeez locations are in great spots right by the beach and are definitely a great place to start an evening bar crawl. We will definitely be back to a Sharkeez again soon! Sending a big thank you to the Huntington Beach Sharkeez and their staff, especially a big thank you once again to Gia and Jen for helping me plan and put together this party!!
