What a cool and fun place! The drinks are great and fresh! Natalia the bartender is so nice and gives great service too! Will definitely be coming back!

Stumbled upon this place after going to a little crafters market that was being held right next to it! Super cute little space to hang out at when the weather is nice in Nashville. Super kind bartenders as well. My boyfriend got one of the drink pouches and I went and got some pretty decent ice cream at the cute KoKos ice cream spot that was attached to the space. It was really nice to sit and enjoy the nice weather while watching some people play volleyball. Always happy to find new cute little corners and spaces to hang out at in the city :)

This place is so fun! Lindsay is the best bartender. I go every time she's there so much fun, and she makes creative drinks. It's walking distance to my house, really welcoming and inclusive. Try out the juice pouches or a coconut it's "Deee-Licious".

Sandbar has been on my Nashville bucket list ever since it opened, and I was so excited to finally go. I started with a pineapple and kiwi pouch which was bigger than any spiked pouch drink I've ever had. I felt it was a little light on the alcohol side but the flavor very well could have just masked it (I wasn't watching the pour). Next, I tried one of Sandbar's famous coconut drinks. Wow oh wow. I opted for the banana-flavored rum which is a match made in heaven when poured into a coconut. It was one of the most refreshing alcoholic beverages I've ever had. The atmosphere and vibe was made for a warm breezy day like the day we visited. Everyone at the bar was so friendly, and we even met the owner, Leah, who was also making drinks. The music selection was near perfect and we loved getting to watch the volleyball games. I will most definitely be back the next time I'm longing for a good drink and a beach day.

This is a nice little bar in a great location. It is adjacent to Koko's ice cream and near the sand volleyball area. The sun was out and the weather was perfect for a tropical drink, so I decided to get a coconut. The service from the staff was cool and friendly. I ordered 1 coconut drink and then selected the kind of rum I wanted to add. A hole was drilled in the coconut and banana rum was poured in. I did find out that I am not a fan of coconut water, but there are other drinks for me to try next time I visit.

Awesome specialty grocery store for snacks

Griddly B.

Very cool concept, friendly to pets which is a huge plus! I was in Nashville for 2 days... I was walking my two dogs and came across this storage container conglomerate hosting the Sandbar (as well as a specialty grocery and some other businesses that weren't open at the time of my visit). The bartender was thoughtful enough to put ice water in the dog bowl I requested, big plus! Ordered a hard Italian Grapefruit soda which was perfect for the weather, they use an upside down keg system so don't play with the little disc in the bottom of your drink unless you want to get the deck drunk. I watched two different groups play beach volleyball: one a very focused/athletic team with well fitting bathing suits, and another of regular folk just trying to be active, reacquaint themselves with the game and have fun- both were really enjoyable to watch. There is a shower installed next to the court which seems like an incredible addition most bars should have. Getting sweaty playing volleyball OR it's super hot and you're in some cotton/quick dry and just rinse off! Only con- which should be stated by the bartenders immediately when opening a tab- THEY AUTHORIZE FOR $50 AND IT TAKES DAYS FOR THE CHARGE TO BE REMOVED. I was on a road trip and this was alarming to say the least on a $14 bar tab.... Otherwise it's a really unique idea for a hot weather bar atmosphere.

AP & Lindsay we're awesome and made the vibe so fun! Came for a girls trip and it was unforgettable!!!

Marlo G.

Great outdoor vibe with the most fabulous bartender!!! Y'all need to check this place out! They have volleyball!

I've been coming here for 2 months and i've never felt happier than when lindsay handed me my pouch of blackberry coconut rum and my mouth went crazy. I couldn't reccommend a bar more than sandbar. She's the most beautiful bartender this side of the mississippi. AP can fuck me up for the rest of my existence on earth. Her lucious pours of malibu down my throat make me wanna guzzle liquor like im having a life threatening surgery tomorrow. You won't regret getting obliterated at this fine establishment.

Emma M.

Lindsay, Emily & AP are my whole world. We've evening coming here for the last two years & I couldn't recommend them more. We will forever be regulars & we're so grateful to Sandbar. Wouldn't be the same without the staff. XOXO NPBC

Our company booked a corporate with SandBar, and everyone had the best time! We specifically did the field games for our event. Multiple people said that this has been their favorite summer event they have been to with our company. I have to give a huge thanks to Leah for helping me coordinate this event! She made the booking process so smooth and was super responsive to any questions we had. I was very impressed with her professionalism, communication, and transparency. She even did a little research about our company to get to know us before we showed up to the event! I also need to give a shout out to Neil who orchestrated the activities and games for our event. He did a fantastic job working with a group of over 40 people and even modified the games for those who needed special accommodation. I love that his focus for the activities team building and having fun! The bar tenders and other staff did a stellar job in making sure everyone was well taken care of. This is a great event space with amazing service and atmosphere. I highly recommend booking an event with SandBar! Our group will definitely be returning in the future! read more

This is a cute spot to come hangout at. Why did I give it a 3 star because of their fruit drinks. First off if you are going to serve alcohol from the fruits, I highly recommend you chilling your fruits first. Like many countries and city's I've been to, when I order a drink in a watermelon it is cold and not top off with a lot of ice just to make the drink cold. 2nd if you are serving any round fruit drinks out of the actual fruit, cut the other end of the fruit a little so it can stand up on its own. I had to carry my watermelon drink since it would spill if I let it go because they didn't shave off a little on the order end. The pineapple, the coconut they were all hot! The frozen margaritas is your best choice if you are looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day. I will definitely come back for the atmosphere and drink me some margaritas or beer. ( way cheaper than the hot fresh fruit drinks) . This place is pet friendly! :) read more

What a chill and unique concept in the downtown Nashville area. Coming from the beach, I appreciate anything that is reminiscent of a beach lifestyle. The area is still being developed with about 2-3 more bars, restaurants or shops looking to join, however, I love the overarching theme that prevails. The sand volleyball courts look like loads of fun and the restaurants and bars had a very West Coast laid back vibe. A vegan restaurant with an avacado margarita and a plant-based ice cream parlor shed light on a general theme. Overall, a great place to wind-down, relax and enjoy some healthy food and healthy cocktails! read more

This place has the summery vibes down! The set up of the bar and sand areas are semi connected a common area shared by other establishments like AVO a restaurant, KoKo (non dairy ice cream spot) & a CrossFit gym. The bar menu is heavily focused on fruity coconutty concoctions and I believe there were beer and spiked seltzer as options too. The volleyball area seems to be organized via signing up with staff and seems to fill quickly. I didn't purchase any drinks but my friend who did said the wait was pretty terrible. I saw multiple people cut in line and the bartenders didn't notice or seem to care. Perhaps they need a change in staff? It took about 10 min before we were acknowledged at the bar which was not even busy. It's worth coming for the atmosphere and whatnot but definitely be aware that the service leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Had a great time and loved the atmosphere of the bar--I felt like we were at the beach/on vacation. Good/fun drinks, games, etc. However. Spent over $100 on our bar tab and the bar wouldn't provide four cups of water, because they "spent $4,000 on cups last year." Ridiculous. Never in my life have I been to a bar that refuses to serve water, giving patrons the option to either buy bottles of it, or to go around the corner to a water fountain. I understand that the volleyball players go through the cups, but there should be some distinction in the policy between people actively patronizing the bar vs. people using the courts. read more

While in Nashville, I visited three of them (as far as I can tell, there are only three in the city). The Pearl Diver is far and away the best tiki bar in Nashville. The drinks are excellent, with both classics and unique creations on the menu. The service is quick and friendly. I couldn't believe how fast the bartender could crank out quality tiki drinks! She knows what she's doing. The food is tasty, with a fun Asian/Latin American fusion that fits the theming. Perhaps most importantly to me, the atmosphere was on point. I go to a tiki bar to relax and escape the busyness of a big city. For that reason, they should be laid-back, tropical, and festively decorated. This place checks all the boxes!

Our experience at Pearl Diver was unfortunately disappointing from the moment we walked in…read more This was actually our third attempt at enjoying a nice evening there, following two previous visits that were also marked by confrontational interactions and poor food and beverage experiences. We had hoped this visit would be different. We entered and stood at the front host stand for approximately 2-3 minutes with no host present. Unsure how seating worked, I walked to the bar to ask for assistance and was immediately yelled at by the bartender for my ID. As I retrieved it from my wallet, the bartender walked away. While I was still holding my ID out, a second bartender asked what I needed. I asked if there was a host, and was told "no." When I responded asking how seating worked, I was told to "find a seat." At that time, all visible seats were full. I walked back to the entrance to explain the situation to my wife. We re-entered and asked a group who were occupying only half of a larger seating area whether the remaining space was available. Their response was that they believed others were coming later. I then attempted to walk past the bar to see if there might be additional seating in the back, and was again yelled at by the bartender demanding my ID -- despite having just presented it moments earlier. The lack of organization, combined with repeated confrontational interactions from staff, made what should have been a pleasant evening uncomfortable and unwelcoming -- particularly disappointing given that this was our third effort to give the establishment another chance.

We traveled to Nashville for a quick weekend trip centering on attending a musical performance by…read morean artist we know at Exit/In. This is my first time at this venue and it reminds me of the Old Forrester Music Hall in Louisville. Limited seating, balcony views, and spartan decor. Full bar and large open concept with the possibility of dancing to the music. Several local patrons sitting near us filled me in more on the history of the property. Specifically, that it's not nearly as appealing as it used to be prior to changing ownership to a larger management group who apparently came in and "white washed" the place. They spoke wistfully of the prior decor and memorabilia that was removed and how much of the allure of the space was erased. After speaking with them, I wish I could have seen the place prior to now.

When I run into a place that supposedly has good drinks, I have to order a Last Word. They nailed it. I ordered some food as well, and decided to go with the cheeseburger (note that it doesn't come with fries, and the fries are super pricy). The cheeseburger was definitely a step above typical bar food. I'd give it a 4/5. The food took about 20 minutes to come out, so a little slow, but manageable. I'll definitely be back. Seems like they have a fun rotation of music with different genres.

After returning last night with my girlfriend and her four-year-old daughter, I can confidently say the experience was completely different. We were greeted and seated immediately, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. When my girlfriend mentioned that her drink was a little too sweet, our server quickly offered to replace it with something else. They also brought toys for her daughter, which was a thoughtful touch and made her feel welcome. The food was amazing. The wings were some of the best I've had, and the lo mein, bulgogi and fried rice were all excellent. Throughout our meal, several people who I assume were managers stopped by to make sure everything was going well. I was genuinely impressed by the level of service. There are fine-dining restaurants in Nashville where you don't receive this much attention or hospitality. Hawkers completely changed my opinion, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Courtney's Excellence Shines Through! We arrived and were seated 20 minutes after our reservation, which was a bit disappointing. Once seated, it took Courtney about 10 minutes to reach our table. However, she sincerely apologized for the delay and efficiently took our entire order. Despite being busy with two large parties, Courtney consistently checked in on us, which made a significant difference in our experience. The food was pleasant and enjoyable. The food runners who brought our meals were friendly and accommodating, adding a positive touch to the service. The Downside as we wrapped up our meal, Courtney brought us the check and to-go boxes. However, Jamyra approached our table, and what started as light chit-chat quickly turned passive-aggressive. Her demeanor shifted from friendly to rude, which was disheartening. Unfortunately, her behavior reflects the negative stereotypes often associated with black women in leadership positions, affecting how staff and customers perceive her. In summary, while Courtney's service was exceptional and made our visit worthwhile, Jamyra's attitude left a sour note. Here's hoping for better experiences in the future!

Came here for dinner and had a wonderful time!…read more We decided to split different things so we could try more of the menu. We started with the spicy tuna crispy rice, which was delicious! The tuna tasted super fresh. We also got the togarashi chicken nuggets, which were crispy and delicious. The crazy shrimp tempura was crispy and fresh and probably some of the best I've had! For our mains, we got the kabayaki eel which was probably my favorite of the night, and the yellow tail hand roll. I wasn't a fan of the hand roll as the seaweed was way too soft and it was difficult to eat. The flavor of the filling, though, was good. For dessert, we got the mochi brownie and the sticky miso butter cake. Highly recommend the miso butter cake - it was warm, moist, and delicious! The mochi brownie wasn't for us. It was too crunchy for our taste and we thought the miso would be a part of the batter rather than thick slabs of mochi at the bottom of the brownie. Will definitely be back to check out the soft serve and other entrees!

Love Sandbar! My friend lives in the apartments nearby so we found it by chance, and stayed because of how unique it is. We happen to love and play volleyball so we love watching games on the courts. The bartenders are friendly and funny and will remember you when you come often. The drinks are so fun! Bless their hearts - they'll drill TONS of coconuts when a bachelorette party happens to wander in. Very patient staff haha. Pretty much everyone that comes is respectful of the place and I think it's a reflection of really liking and appreciating the staff and owner! Thanks for opening such a fun spot for us volleyball nerds to be social. read more

Jerica and Lindsey were the bartenders that took care of us and they were absolutely amazing! These two ladies are so kind to us and make certain that we were accommodated. The drinks were really yummy! The overall vibe of this place is awesome. Cool music, volleyball courts, a sheltered area with fans and beer pong tables, all of the bell and whistles. They even have little inflatable kiddie pools just in case your doggo needs to cool off. While we were there, they had pop up tents set up and I was able to grab some cool swag. 10/10 will definitely be back! read more

I've been to the Sandbar multiple times and it's such a fun place! Gives off beach vibes and you can play volleyball or simply watch others play while you enjoy a drink. We just ordered a SummerSeltzer from Lindsay and Jerica (bartenders) and it is the most refreshing/delicious drink! They're super kind and even gave our puppies treats! My friend had a puppy birthday party here with doggy cakes, super cute and the pups had a fun time. I highly recommend! read more
