The live music drew us right in. This little dive bar is the best time! People are very nice and the live band barely fits in the place, it's so small. You're basically stepping on their guitar cables. I love it! Has a small patio area in the back with picnic tables. Open late. read more

Live music was amazing. Small dive bar! I'm from Phoenix Arizona so it shocked me that people can smoke in the bar....but not only that, the bar tenders smoke while making your drinks! Was I transported back to the 50's. Staff is great! They were making fresh watermelon margaritas last night. I drank quite a few! Inexpensive and check out the back patio and pool table game room! read more

Entertaining, fun, divey place! it was near our hotel, and I am glad we tried it out! Locals & employees are welcoming! My husband adored the fact that the owner purchases the NFL Sunday ticket: we were able to watch an important game! Extra Pluses: beers are super inexpensive! Since they do not serve food, you are allowed to bring in your own! read more

Great atmosphere for the 2025 Draft! Lots of laughs- great place to hang out on a night at the beach! Welcome home!

I go to the sandbar every time I visit Tybee and it's always an extremely fun time that I barely remember.this time the man behind the bar (big ginger guy) was awesome. He put up with our shenanigans and had a good personality. Love playing pool in the back, you can't beat the vibe of this place. The only thing is when shift changed some little meth head looking brunette started working behind the bar and she was TERRIBLE. She was terrible and was straight up rude to everyone that was there having a good time. How the owner lets her work there is beyond me. A visit to the sandbar is an absolute must(as long as she's not working) but just know you won't leave sober read more

TONY and I stopped in for a quick drink. Tony drank a beer and I had a faux mixed drink. Great atmosphere!!! Tony and I will definitely go here again!! cost only $4 read more

Hubby got hungry and went on a late walk to find food near hotel. Right across the street was this place. He stated it was packed and plenty of people smoking (of course no masks)...he ordered himself a burger and me some wings. Food was ok nothing spectacular. I was taken aback by the used Kroger bag they put our to go food in, it had a hole in it and smelled like cigarette smoke...GROSS!! read more

Love this place! Great people, friendly staff and customers! Bar staff is quite entertaining!

Hands down the most rude server I have seen here. Like wtf also dirty bathrooms girl that was serving also on her phone wouldn't talk. Also when I confronted her about a bad drinksd s he said it is what it is. Awful. Never come to this place when there is like 10* other places that care. To the owner sorry for the bad review but. Please get ride of your bad service front house b. read more

Okay... I never give two stars... But this place was just... unremarkable. Our server was no good, which was the first unfortunate start to the evening. Guy clearly hated his job and was flipping tables. It's never fun when you feel like your server hates life... The food was not great. Oysters were funky so be careful. The other things we ordered were fine, bar food standard but not at bar food prices :/ Everyone seems to be so happy on these reviews so I hate to diminish that. We came here because of these reviews so I felt compelled to share our experience. Maybe it's covid times and things just slipped through the cracks :/ either way not worth it, our honest opinion. read more

The bartender was clearly under the influence of something .. however she was friendly . We ordered one drink and left . It took her 3 times to count out our change .. and finally my husband counted it for her and told her how much she still needed to give us . read more

The live music was amazing - people were so sweet and it's a fun place for dart pool eating and of course drinking

I can't write enough good things about this place! My boyfriend and I were staying right around the corner from this bar, so we were here 6 nights out of 7. The bartenders were super nice, talkative and helpful. They told us where to go and what things to do. They recommended ordering a pizza from a place and having it taxi'd to us - which we never would have known was a thing. The drinks were made strong and weren't expensive at all. The music was great every night we were there. The games in the back were fun, we kept busy by playing ring toss, darts and pool. As long as you don't come in here drunk off your ass and acting like a fool you will have awesome service! read more

Great place to drink. Had a medical issue and the bartender only concern was to move away from the bathroom area. We were determining with a retired nurse wether to call 911. What an ass he should be fired. read more

I plan to make my way down to here as soon as they let us out of our homes in Chicago. Your compassion for your staff and creativity is what makes your bar stand tall among others. read more

Just seen your story on F&F! how you helped your workers (Great Job). I just moved to Columbia South Carolina. So we will make your place one of the first Stops ones we can leave the house.. good luck! read more

Just heard a great story about Jennifer's generosity during this crisis on the Glenn Beck Show. Fantastic!

we went here multiple times while we visited Tybee island. the bartender sara was great. first night we went we met the owner jen and she was great also. it was fun sitting at the bar with locals and tourist and everyone just having a great time. read more

From the time I walked in and was told "welcome home" from owner Jen, I was delighted. I felt like I had walked into a group of friends I'd known for years. Try the green tea margarita; it's expensive but unique and wonderful! read more

What a happy dive this is! A super intimate neighborhood pub, with happy patrons, down to earth bartenders, a kick ass signature drink (Grapefruit infused vodka FTW!), fantastic prices and a pool table out back. There was nothing not to love about this. It's cozy and not dirty, you will have to mind the smoke a tad, but if you can deal with that, you will be perfectly fine. There are a pool table and a shuffleboard in the back room to hang out and chill in case the locals are looking to dance you into the ground with early '00s jams. Also, exceptionally priced. :) I like actual dive bars. read more

Just read the story about what you did to help your employees. I don't know if I will ever make it to Tybee Island, but if I do I promise that I will come to your bar and spend a lot of money! read more

I haven't yet patronized The Sand Bar. I just learned of the owner's selfless gesture to pull all the commemorative cash off of the walls to help her folks get through the challenging times this pandemic has thrown at us. Hang in there, sister! I look forward to stopping in when this is over and running up an obscene bar tab to pay it forward. I would encourage readers to keep in mind the small businesses that suffer the most and to give back to those who have sacrificed for their communities. Lot of places to get a cold beer. Not nearly as many will have put their people first read more

Best Jell-O shots on the island! Very friendly staff and a great place to mingle with the locals. Nice back patio and a separate room with a pool table and ping pong table. Don't miss trivia on Tuesday nights, great time and great prizes! Happy hour til 7pm. read more

Just read what the owner did for her employees, AMAZING!!! My husband and I are looking forward to a day trip out this way just to give this place our business and support an owner who went above and beyond to care for her staff!!! read more

I was here in November of 2014. It is a cozy bar with a lot of locals, just my kind of place. Everyone was friendly and gave me a lot of ideas of what to do on my stay in Savannah. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and plan to make a visit this coming November, when I am in Savannah again. read more

Never been here. Surely will when the chance presents itself. Read about the owner, Jennifer Knox's generosity towards her employees. I've been to any number of bars whose walls were adorned with dollar bills. These bills are not only part of the decor , but a testament to the establishment and its staff. Never did it cross my mind that this money could be put to a higher good. Ms. Knox did! As a small business owner she is facing her own financial difficulties, yet instead of "cashing in" the decor for herself she selflessly carefully removed, collected, and distributed the money to her employees. This speaks volumes to the character, compassion, and empathy of Ms. Knox. Here's a suggestion: Send her a dollar bill with the date, your city, state, and a message, should you choose. She can use the ,only to keep her business alive, assist her employees, or both. I've already sent a fiver to get the ball rolling. It probably took a long time to cover the walls of the Sand Bar, but please take a moment to pay it forward. I send my best regards to Ms. Knox, the Sand Bar, it's employees, and customers, can weather this storm. BTW, Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" could be about the Sand Bar! John D. SoCal read more

Best Jell-O shots in town. Friendly service. Great social bar atmosphere. Best kept secret in town.

Was in Tybee Island a year ago for a road trip to celebrate the end of cancer treatments. Just saw the article concerning their way of helping their workers. Great idea!! You can restart the tradition as soon as you are able to re-open, and I will make every effort to return to add to that tradition. read more

It was about 2:45 AM and there was a woman yelling at all of us to get out. I guess it was the owner's daughter is what I was told. She was rude and unwelcoming. At 2:50 she looked back in and yelled at me asking why I was looking at her like she was stupid. The bartenders were ok. At 3AM there was a fight that almost broke out and the bar regulars were not very polite. It was a poor experience. read more

This place is a cool dive bar but they dont have a good place for the band other than right next to the door and bar. The bartenders have always been chill. The food is a reminder of drunken dorm room munchies. the place smells like a deep fryer and an ashtray but you acclimate after a shot or two. The pool table is in a nice back room and there is a back patio too. read more

Jen the owner is awesome. It's a great local hang out. Pet friendly. They make you feel like you're a regular even if it's your first time here. read more

Jenn and her mom Pam are doing an amazing job. This is the gem of the island! Always a good time and the music is amazing. I will be back next visit! Thanks Ladies for a nice visit, great drinks, and a good time. read more

Want a fun bar? You found it. The front room is a bar with tv/live music or dj and the back room has a pool table, dart board, shuffle board table, and a life size Jenga! There is also a nice patio in back that occasionally has a nice fire in the back. read more

I was not expecting how good the food would be. We were exploring the river front and had become hungry. I ordered the shrimp and mushroom pasta and was surprised how delicious it was. My husband had hamburger with blue cheese but was disappointed in it. The menu offered a variety of seafood. Raw oysters by the ton was being prepared. You will not be disappointed read more

God we had fun here met great people and the owner couldn't have been nicer.

I'm all for local beach dive bars.. As being I've lived at the beach my whole life and love my locals bars... But this place terrified me. I thought I was going to get tetanus. The bartender was very nice and chill, I felt bad walking out right away but I have not gotten my Ebola vaccine so I didn't want to chance it. read more
