    Char siu pork spare ribs and mac and cheese
    Sara P.

    We had such great food at the Sand Bar we actually came back a second time the same weekend we were in town. First night we tried the calamari which were tossed in a green curry with fried wontons. I could have eaten an entire second bowl they were so good. I do love curry. We also got the spare ribs to share with a side of mac and cheese. These were very flavorful ribs. The mac and cheese was very bland which was very surprising considering the other two dishes were so good. We enjoyed a couple signature cocktails that were great - the rum barrel, and yuzu lemon drop. They also have an extensive bourbon list. Sushi night is on the weekends and we brought our friends back for that. Spoiler alert. Sushi was great! Loved the crunchy spicy tuna, the ultimate salmon roll, and the ahi poke bowl. Definitely put sushi night on your calendar.

    Retired, my wife and I live halftime in Ocean Park; we've wanted to check out The Sandbar since it opened. With Yelp reviews all over the board, we walked in today at 5pm... and were treated like royalty. Seated immediately (the place was packed by the time we finished our dinner), Deanna our server was sooo friendly and helpful. We enjoyed an oyster shooter, Gouda mac 'n' cheese, fish tacos, a White Claw, and a perfect Grey Goose martini. All came out quickly (keep in mind, it's Memorial Day Weekend), all was delicious. Deanna checked in several times to make certain we were happy. Before we left, we peeked upstairs at the rooftop deck, and plan to dine there with family when they come to visit this summer. What a great addition to downtown Long Beach dining!

    Steamed clams

    The food was good the service not so much.. The ambience was pleasant, very clean and inviting. The steam clams were definitely the highlight. The crab cob salad was also good, just not a fan of the house dressing.. Too horseradishy for me. The yellow curry calamari was also very good. We are not sure why the service fell off.. Nobody came to ask how our meal was or offered to refill our drinks. If you don't mind tasty food with bad service, give''em a shot!

    Lots of seating and tables

    The view from up top is wonderful! You are allowed to bring up food but no alcohol is allowed. We were greeted immediately by a very friendly bar tender. We didnt come for the food we just wanted to check the place out. We will for sure come back!

    Last night my bf and I were looking for a place to eat and have some drinks. We were walking on the Main Street and came across The Sandbar and decided to try it out, and boy am I glad we did! The place was busy because of the Seahawks game, but we found a spot at the bar. Heather was our bartender/server and she was so great. She was so personable, and even though she seemed busy she always checked in to make sure we were doing good. At one point she even made a little too much of a margarita and gave us a little taster which was so nice! We shared the Gouda Mac with steak and it was 10/10. I had a couple Cherry Blossom Manhattans and they were so good too! We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in town.

    The ambiance was like a modern garage with lots of open space, windows and natural lighting. It was really Smokey by the front though. We were happy to sit in the back with the open garage door. The service was really slow. Even when there were lots of available tables, we weren't seated right away. The servers were nice and friendly but so slow. And our servers forgot 2 out of 4 of our orders. She eventually served 3 plates but forgot one. It was sad! We ended up taking it home. The clams were popular. It was good. Our favorite was the pork chops. It was unique and flavorful. The rest were just okay.

    Came with my partner and parents at 12pm. Wait staff was nice and sat us immediately. We ordered by 12:10pm. 3 of our meals were served at 1pm. We waited to eat until when 1 of the 4 meals was finally served. Our food was cold upon eating and completely lacked flavor. My partner order the Orange chicken and it was hard/dry, the texture of dried smoked salmon. My mother and I ordered the Fish Tacos and it lacked flavor, had to ask for extra sauce to stomach the meal. Do not recommend eating from the Sandbar, maybe the food carts are better. The establishment stated "open at 12" but we were later told by our waiter that the kitchen refused to start cooking until 12:30, hence our 1hr long wait for food.

Options include not just beers, but wine and non alcoholic rootbeer and kombuchas on tap. Plus there's an awesome Brazilian coffee shop. They have so many events throughout the month, including Monday line dancing once a month, Tuesday night trivia, Thursday night board games and puzzles and Fri/Sat live music. The downtown station is a go to spot for me, not just for the food options but for the variety of events. They are kid friendly, with their play zone and kid shows on one of the TVs. One of the lady bar tenders is super nice - I love her. Plus they do tap takeovers, goat/llama events - you name it. I love this spot

The…read morefood selection is incredible, with pretty much any option you could name: Mexican, Indian, Indian pizza, Mediterranean, Nepali momos, Hawaiian, Korean fusion, Thai, crepes, burgers, fried food, boba, and Brazilian coffee. The indoor seating area is also super spacious, so it's easy to find a spot. There's always been live music playing whenever we've visited, which adds so much charm to the experience - though it can get a tad bit loud, making it a little tough to hear the person sitting right across from you. While we've enjoyed almost all the food we've tried here, I have to give a massive shoutout to the Pinch Spice truck. They have some of the absolute best Indian food I've tasted around here. I find myself constantly coming back just for that single truck! 10/10 recommend One downer has been that at least a quarter food trucks are closed any time we have visited. Hope they start keeping more consistent timings.

    I'd give 0 stars if I could. PSA:…read moreThe Olympian has the worst customer service ever. On November 25th they took over $114 +/- out of our account. We used to get the paper and wanted to get the Sunday one again, plus I use it in my arting. Here we sit nearly a month later without a single paper or a refund! Since not getting a paper I canceled it on the 12th...today is the 20th and still no refund. They told me it had to be "approved" I had to waste my time trying to get my refund. So disgusted. In the old days it covered local news and we knew our delivery person. Then it was taken over by a big company and the news started covering Pierce and King Counties. ..less local stories. The Olympian sucks. A trip to small claims court may be in my future

If I wanted just a digital subscription, I would not have paid the higher cost for a hard copy delivered to my house. I recently moved to Olympia from Seattle, and have looked forward to the daily delivery of the local paper. I would love to know if there are any other hard copy newspapers in the area that deliver, because I am getting fed up. I even made a cylinder to receive the paper so that I didn't have to deal with plastic bags that are not recycled here. I installed it under my mailbox so the delivery person would not have to drive down my long driveway. I have to walk for 5+ minutes through the rain to reach my mailbox and the cylinder. It is very disheartening when the paper is not there.
