Shark Bar is among the cluster of new entertainment venues called Live! at Pointe Orlando, an entertainment complex developed by the Baltimore-based The Cordish Cos. The bar opens Sept. 19 and has its debut event Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. Shark Bar will host a drag show produced by Blue LaLa Events, the event company launched by one of Orlando’s most famous drag queens, Blue Star.

Shark Bar has a retro surf vibe with beachy decor and bright colors throughout. Its 4,600 square feet is styled as an oasis, and the bar menu matches that theme. Rum runners and piña coladas join Shark Bar’s signature beach pail punch on the list of choices.
