Went this weekend, had a great experience. Loved the view of the ocean. Sat at the Bar, the bartenders name was Mary, she did a great job She recommended the fried clams and the were great. She is very good at what she does. Friendly and welcoming. Ordered a couple of pizzas Togo Can't wait to go back read more

Bianchi's Pizza is keeping this place open. The service is horrendous! The food is barely edible unless you get a pizza from Bianchi's. You can't even sit at a table if you get the pizza. Jane the new manager is rude and should do something about her attitude and the mice running around! read more

Went there yesterday to see Bam the Drummer. My wife and I sat at the bar. The purple haired bartender spilled a drink on two women sitting across from us. My wife said to the bartender joking that she is shut off. The purple haired bartender came outside the bar to tell my wife how rude she was for saying that and that she is having a bad day. Suck it up or don't bartend. Food was awful and service was terrible. I even waited 20 min for a drink while the other bartender counted out her tips. We should have just went to Floramos which has better food and always great service. Goodbye Sandbar! BTW....Sandbar also charges a five dollar fee for using a credit card that they don't tell you about. read more

Unfortunately, this place went totally downhill. We used to really enjoy coming here and then we noticed that we were being overcharged Every single time we came in. The food is not edible and and mice running around the bar area when we tried to speak to one of the bartenders/managers Jeane she was rude and not helpful and Marianne the owner who is barely even there was absolutely no help at all. If it wasn't for Bianchis they would have been shut down a long time ago! This place needs to be shut down, especially with mice running around they need to do something ! I will never go to that establishment ever again and neither should you! I am forced to give one star by this website, but it deserves read more

What are they doing awful soggy burnt pizza I a long time revere resident I grew up with Bianchi pizza. It's soggy cheese in the middle. Tastes awful. The oven are dirty and pizza is had a terrible Taste. I see the old oven but only if there brick oven like Regina's in the northend. I miss the old location. I brought back the pizza the guys gave me a dirty look to cook it. To much sauce and middle loading ingredients in the center. I was a pizza trainer and long time chef and still am a chef. Please save our long time tradition institution pizza read more

My absolute favorite spot in Revere! Everyone who works there is attentive, engaging & friendly every time I go there! The bartenders are amazing and always ready to make any drink that you can imagine. The food is always spot on. The appetizers are great & the menu has something for everyone! They have Keno & live music on weekends which is a big plus!! All in all, an absolute A+ for the Sandbar on Revere Beach!! 10 stars! read more

downhill since new managment took over. Needs a good cleaning and manager not helpful!!!!! I would actually give it zero stars, but the website wouldn't allow me to do so it was that bad read more

CHECK YOUR CHECK! CHECK YOUR CHECK! They add a tip without asking you. The good: The food is always about average. truly it never disappoints. The bad: This one waiter who y'all will read about in other reviews SUCKS. He felt entitled to add a 20% tip on the bill. Good thing I checked it. CHECK YOUR CHECK! Don't go here if you haven't worked out for the day, you'll need patience. read more

Went to the Sandbar 2 days in a row. Identical food and beverage order with two wildly different prices. ($32./and then $47.?) tried to speak to our waiter who was incredibly rude and demeaning. Asked for the Manager and was told that "she's never here" and that "I am the best you've got now" Then he points to the 80 year old lady who is supposed to be doing the lottery and said "try your luck with her" This place is getting run down and the food was marginal at best. Can't wait for Floramos to open up and end this joke once and for all. read more

The server was very welcoming and helpful! The ambiance has a great beachy feel and the music was upbeat! Definitely recommend checking it out! Ask for Donald (Denue)! read more

The salad was delicious. However the so called entertainment Beau was definitely not the best! This is not the first time I've sadly witnessed Beau not being honest with what few followers he has. Since reconnecting with Beau his fans / followers are like him dwindling down and snow hadnt even started. Beau was such an unfaithful, dishonest and disrespectful to what few people follow him. I asked as his breaks were becoming more frequent and longer if he'd be going back on for another set. I was told yes by Beau himself. In watching the time and not seeing Beau return to the stage I mentioned the same question again. Beau this time not minutes later but a good while later when I said if he was going to do the set he mentioned he would be back on stage again. I was then told by Beau he was not going back on stage. I had waited as he mentioned that he would be performing and that was a definite lie. What a waste of time, aggravation and definite disappointment. It's no wonder sadly your business is not packed as it previously had been. This as Beau I'd definitely not the best entertainment and he lacks honesty when misinforming those asking him if he was going back on. A definite disappointment it's no wonder a few months ago I was the only one waiting for him to perform and that night he never set up and left without performing. Beau is a waste of time and much more aggravation than you need. read more

We enjoyed a couple cocktails at this bar. Like the ambiance. My martini was strong and because of that I gave this bar 3 versus 2 stars. The grape coolaid cocktail was disappointing. We have a go to place back home that makes a similar drinks and puts this one to shame. The other cocktail was on special and made of rum. Husband said the first drink was good but that was it. Pizza was also very basic. I wanted this place to be more than it was but no such luck. Service was also just okay. read more

The food is spectacular! I had the meatball and PEI mussel apps and they were delicious! Stephanie also makes the BEST espresso martinis!! Love it here!! A wonderful place right on the beach! read more

First off let me say- I love the ambiance.. it's a divey beach restaurant/bar. You can order pizza at the counter next door which is within the same building. We ordered half cheese & half sausage, mushroom, onion & olive. The cheese half was great but other half of the pizza wasn't so great. They put artichokes on our pizza and we never asked for any artichokes. The wedge salad was AMAZING!!! The tomatoes were perfect along with the bacon nice and crisp... not burnt. I'd get the wedge salad again. They also make a decent espresso martini. read more

I am a local resident c& appreciate good food & service to match (btw- I'm also a REALLY good tipper- extra cash when treated right) but this place has significantly deteriorated- I waited over an hour for their cheeseburger without even an apology- this happened at 2 different occasions-so I spoke with the manager the 2nd time- she never once said she was sorry - only thing she did was not charge me for the burger! Seriously? I never got the damn burger, why woul I pay for it? and her reply was, "well, you're not coming back, so why do I care?" What kind of "customer service" is that? I sure do hope they get new owners and managers soon, but until then, I will not return and thought I'd share such horrible service with diners who care! read more

We came in for the pizza and stayed for the incredible vibes. Donald our waiter was so personable and nice. Of course we got some pizza, but left extra delighted from the Teriyaki wings. It's a hidden gem with incredible live music and charismatic staff. read more

I ordered a pizza at Bianchi's, and while I waited I decided to have a drink at the bar. I couldn't even begin to think what would take place! I was there for at least 10 minutes before anyone would acknowledge me. The male bartender finally looked over at me, and I gave him my order. My drink isn't difficult, but i usually say it slower for a good reason and wasn't in an insulting manner whatsoever . The couple next me were present and even made a comment about his behavior. He then proceeds to ask me if I was a teacher. I was taken back by the question, and went on to tell me some crazy story about when he was young how the teachers spoke slowly to him as I did. All of a sudden said I had no class! Beyond words! I really don't know how they are staying in business. Bianchis's has great pizza and is not part of the Sandbar. read more

I come here all the time. Not anymore! The waiter is the worst I have ever had. The first time we got him we were saying "ok, maybe he's just having a bad day" Every time we come he's horrible. The other day it was not busy at all. We got our pizza and the waiter came over and said "Oh, you are all set" and walked away. We said "No, we want a drink" We got our drinks, ate the whole pizza and he never came back. 45 minutes went by and I walked in to ask him for another drink and he said" One minute" and 20 minutes went by - he never came back. AND IT WASN'T EVEN BUSY!! We had to get our drinks from the bar after another 20 minutes. He is rude and ignores us every, single time we come. I have friends that refuse to come back there because of the treatment we have received. I have never in my life had such a rude waiter who completely ignores you. EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THIS BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!!! We will call now and make sure he is not working and then we come in. The treatment we get every single time we come in is shocking!!! I just wonder how this guy keeps his job! read more

Such an amazing experience! The food was wonderful and our waitress was absolutely wonderful. We had the mussels and calamari. Both were divine. Cocktails are also really good! Divine espresso martinis and the punch I highly recommend! read more

The both of you should be ashamed of yourself! read more

We walked in with a couple of slices of pizza for our family. Planned on eating at the restaurant as well. When we weren't greeted at all. I headed to the bar to ask how they do things, waited patiently to be noticed for a few minutes. Offered to order at the bar but was told that a server would come to us. At this point I wasn't frustrated at all. When server came to us, she was clearly over the top about the whole situation going on about how she 'allowed' us to sit and eat pizza (from attached establishment of the same name) and that we could speak to the manager if we wanted to. We followed our plan and ordered food and drinks from her (we should have left) and ANOTHER server came over, also stressed, introducing himself and welcoming us to the restaurant. The vibe was SO bad in this place- we were treated as if we had threatened the entire staff by asking for a menu. 100% do not recommend. We should have been clear about the crappy treatment and walked out. Also, we were charged 4$ for a fountain ginger ale and 3.50 for a soda water- when the rest of us had ordered drinks. Waste of money, and honestly killed a good day for us. It felt abusive. read more

Great pizza. Bewildering sit down experience. The most complicated restaurant I have ever been to. First the good. Bianchi's Pizza, which sold its original location and was occupying an oven space at now-closed Renzo's, is back! The pizza is just as you remember it, and gets 5 stars as always. It's very popular, so be prepared for a 30-60 minute wait. Here's where it gets complicated. Bianchi's Pizza (on the left side with the takeout counter) is still a completely separate business from Bianchi's at the Sand Bar (the sit down restaurant), despite both having the name "Bianchi's" and a complete lack of signage explaining this. This is important, because YOU CANNOT ORDER PIZZA AT THE SIT DOWN RESTAURANT. I found this out the hard way. We asked to sit at a table, which took quite a while because they are understaffed. The hostess never explained that you can't get pizza in the restaurant when she sat us. We waited for 20 minutes for the server. He brought the menus, but puzzlingly, we saw salads and ceviche, but no pizza. Hmmm....We finally asked for the pizza menu, and he then informed us that we can't order pizza. For that, we had to get up and stand in line at Bianchi's Pizza (45 minute wait). I looked at him with puzzled eyes. He said, "Well this is 'Bianchi's at the Sand Bar'" as if that explanation somehow should have caused a light to go off in my tiny brain that pizza was not served. I mean, who would expect a restaurant that has "Bianchi's" in its name to serve pizza? Thankfully I wasn't in charge of the tip, because it would be one of those rare instances when it would have been $1. So all in all, a 2.5 hour experience to get 2 pizzas. If pizza and soda is all you want, skip the sit down experience entirely. And "Bianchi's at the Sand Bar," get your #&* together and figure out this dilemma with Bianchi's Pizza! Customers are coming to "Bianchi's" for pizza, not ceviche, and if you continue this practice, you are just going to have more resentful people like me writing long reviews and refusing to ever sit down at your place again. Put pizza on the menu and let people order it. Figure out a percentage rent agreement with Bianchi's Pizza. Make it simple for your customers. The end result will be more business for you. read more

So they say location location location however that's not the best part of this place this place it's pizza pizza pizza this is my favorite pizza hands-down of all that I have tried in Massachusetts. read more

We recently stopped by at Bianchi's at the Sand Bar, our first time since pre Covid. Mary and Stephanie the bartenders were very pleasant and accommodating. Mary explained the process of ordering our pizza separately from the restaurant and provided the Sand Bar menus which looked great! But, since we were in the mood for a Sunday afternoon pizza, football and drinks at the bar we ordered our pizza and within 15 minutes our delicious crispy thin crust pizza was ready. The view of the beach and ocean from our seats were awesome as well as the open concept windows which allowed for the fresh air to flow in. We will definitely be back! Thank you Mary and Stephanie for making us feel sooo welcomed with your great service and genuine personalities! See you soon! :) Petra and Dana read more

Who do you have to know to get the bartenders attention? Went to the Sandbar for pizza and a beer last Monday night. A few patrons and a few customers. Seem kind of dead for the summer season. One reason might be the Unfriendly bartender. No greeting or introduction. "Jimmie" seem more interested in doing the dishes and talking to his only friend in the world it seems at the end of the bar. His back turned all night. Typical non attentive service. He never asked if I wanted a refill. Never came by again at the bar. Other patrons had a similar experience. FAIL. Never again! read more

We met family here for a Friday lunch . We had wings , nachos , calamari, drinks and I had a burger and fries . The calamari was excellent. Different in the sense that it was deep fried not lightly fried . The pizza place kitchen next door opens to the dining room . Many customers were having lunch and then getting pizza to go . Our waiter was excellent with a nice sense of humor . When he came out with a dessert and candle and singing to celebrate my son's birthday, many customers joined in. What a fun , happy place . read more

After years of visiting this restaurant regularly, I will not be seen there again. I'd rather spend my money at Dryft or get a pizza at the FineLine. Bianchis (Previously known as Renzos) was my 'Go to' spot every time I wanted to grab a cold beer, have a bite to eat in the evening, or whenever I had guests visiting from out of town. The pizza is still great, but what the new restaurant management did to the place is nothing short of a disgrace. I told my husband and his friend who was visiting from Germany to meet me there for dinner after work and we were treated like absolute scum by the waitress, manager and the staff at the bar. And mind you, we were there for a quiet dinner. I've never been more ashamed of a recommendation I've made and I know this would have never happened with the previous owners and staff. Super sad about the way this establishment has gone down the drain, I have very fond memories there. All good things come to an end. read more

I love this place! Best atmosphere, food , and service. The bartender was so attentive and personable. The vibe was amazing I am definitely coming back and recommending to all my friends. read more

We wanted pizza from Bianchi's and after some confusion when entering we figured out that you order from Bianchi's counter but eat in The Sandbar. A waiter approached us in an inappropriate for the restaurant industry black tank top. He took our drink order. We advised him that we were ordering pizza. It took forever for our drinks to arrive which he plopped on the table. We ate and then wanted to leave. Not a server in sight! My husband went to the kitchen and found one. Black tank top boy arrived with the check and said, "I forgot about you two. It's such a small tab. I'm used to $300 tabs." Then he walked away. We left cash for the drinks...oops since you forgot about us, we forgot about the tip. He saw us and invited us to come back Sept 27 for a band. "I can't tell you the name of the band but it's going to be good." Just a weird experience. Won't be back. Pizza was excellent but we will order from the takeout window, read more

It's holy week for me, so I decided to walk in and ask if they had Margarita pizza - to cut down eating meat during Easter week. Well the guy at the counter was a real WISE GUY - asked me "what the sign say?" . - Lost my nerve with this attitude - easily could have phrased it differently or answer my question. Nice try condescending customers. If it weren't for holy week I would have snapped. Easily could have gone with a cheese pizza, but NOPE not leaving a dime at this place with the rudeness they provide. read more

Best salad in the city! Take your time to figure out the process. Be patient. It's all worth it.

I went in yesterday for a drink & an appetizer. We ordered 2 strawberry/basil margaritas. It took the bartender almost 15-20mins to get us our drink. My 1st thought was ok, maybe he's never made them before seeing he kept reading what I think may have been a cheap sheet on the wall? But when we finally received our drink I must admit it was absolutely delicious, and the bartender noted himself after stick a straw into the shaker our drink was made of so he obviously made more than needed for our 2 drink I a saw him put the shaker off to the side, not in the sink to wash. We then ordered a 2nd drink, which this time was served in less than 3mins flat. I saw him not only grab the shaker with the 1st drinks leftovers, but add extra ice too each glass to make it look full. The $13 a piece drink was nothing but watered down ice from the first batch. I wanted to say something, but figured it just wasn't the aggravation, but the icing on the cake was when we asked for the check he told us we had to wait because he had to go to the bathroom!! My experience as well as witnessing how others were spoken to makes me how you're still in business. Absolutely appalling! I give a negative -5 stars!! read more

Went to dine for pizza, plan on ordering an appetizer from the sandbar had two different waiters in two mins. Order two drinks and we sat there for 30 minutes waiting for our drinks. Nothing came out. Waiter kept saying it's coming. It never came out at all. I won't be back. read more

First time here and what and Experiance!! Our bartender, Mary was AWESOME! Matt, the GM came over and talked to us and made us feel at home. He explained what their goal was, to make you feel warm and welcome, and they achieved it 110%!!! Bianchi's pizza was on point as always. The Sand Bar, what an amazing place. It's all homemade. The tortilla soup was awesome! Cease Salad, awesome! Good drinks, good services. We don't live near here, which my wife and I regret, but we will make it a point to come back again!! It was that good. Enjoy! Matt read more

I'd advise to avoid this place if your trying to have a good slice of pizza. This place is not what it USED to be. Previously it was normal good classic pizza. Now, it's just sadness in a box, with Rude customer service. Once you go here, and come back to read the reviews, you'll understand the bad reviews. I do hope they come around, but until then I'd be cautious. It's just mediocre cheese pizza with rude customer service, only pro its by the beach. Mediocre, sad pizza, rude ... yup not coming back. read more

Literally went 100% downhill as soon as this location opened. Not only has it been the rudest service the two times gave it a chance, but today I've waited 1hr before getting served an old reheated pizza. Not to mention the pizza looked horrible. Are you kidding me??? Got my money back and will never be back again. Don't get me started on the insane service at sandbar or whatever the hell it's called. Oh wait. I didn't get any service neither did any table around me. The waitress just tended to one table and in the entire hour we were there she didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink. I felt like I was on an episode of impractical jokers. Highly suggest they save themselves the trouble and just let a condo or something buy the land. They have no chance at surviving. read more

The food was great bartender wonderful. But it waa very slow and the waitress had no customers and a very bad attitude! She did my keno but didnt want to check my tickets when I asked why she snapped at me so I got a lil attitude and said what the F### and she told the bartender to shut me off and pay my bill!! Well I was with my 83 yr old mom one drink and a food bill over a 100! I worked construction for 25 yrs and the f word sometimes slips out! It wasnt directed to her and she new that! I live right next door and will never go back she continued to fight with the next customer and told her the customer is always right policy doesn't apply there and shes right because four people walked out possibly never to return!!! read more
