So it was Suuuper busy when I popped into my favorite after show, after a project or meeting complete, go-to place... forgot it was spring break! The entire staff was on top of everything though and Heather was very attentive and making sure people coming in were addressed and given info about how long the wait was and getting peoples seated. WOW is all I can say. It was crazy and the staff really stepped up! read more

Worse burger I've ever had. Ordered Gouda burger - no Gouda. Burnt bun and burnt patty - see photo . Service at bar was good. M my husband's club sandwich was good. Cajun tots had nothing Cajun about them. Very disappointed overall would not recommend. read more

So, after reading all of the wildly gyrating reviews we just decided to find out for ourselves. We headed on over from our place just down the street to see what was up. I mean when I walked past the evening before it looked really fun and vibrant and I was ready for anything. It turns out that the owner made a bad hire for a manager which lead to bad hires of bartenders and servers. That has now been recognized and changed with all new staff and the bringing back of an old hand to right the ship. We really enjoyed the space and the oyster shooters we had were fantastic. Apparently, the owner owns the oyster beds where they come from in Hoods Canal. The bartender is the old hand mentioned above and is thoroughly enjoyable to talk to and be served by him. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We ordered the fish tacos, an order of wings, and fries and waited no less than 45 minutes for our food. The place is small, and although it was packed, we really could not figure out why things were moving so incredibly slow. Our waitress continually thanked us for our patience but offered no explanation about why things were taking so long. When our food finally arrived (after seeing it sit on the counter for a few minutes right in front of our table), it was pretty subpar. The wings were alright but standard, the fish in the tacos was 50% breading, and the fries were stringy and covered in oil. Long waits, not great service, and average food. I regret not just ordering from one of the food carts outside. read more

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! read more

This was our first time at Sandbar and we had a very nice experience. The vegetarian choices are limited but they offered a nice cauliflower steak which came with side. The customer service was good. They offer a full bar, which included signature drinks, wine and beer. It would be great to have more vegetarian options, but we enjoyed our experience and for many the menu offered a good range of options. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Didn't want bar food on a Tuesday night but there we were at the Sandbar. Really nice place! Not too loud and staff was super nice. Ordered fish tacos and expected the usual but was pleasantly surprised! The fish portion was generous, cabbage fresh, verde sauce was excellent!! Perfect bite / spicy and good taste. The hamburger my wife got liked great too! Big patty, nice char and fries were skinny and wimpy looking but were super tasty and were actually great! The fry sauce was awesome! Didn't get to try any drinks (bring your ID they ID everyone!!!) definitely coming back to try a flight of whisky. Coming back again for sure. The skewers looked awesome (they ran out!) want to try the ribs next. One of the top places to eat here for sure!!! read more

I'd give 6 stars if I could! First, they made a spot in the back to serve use with our two large dogs beside us. Then they treated like royalty. And the food was amazing--THE freshest clam chowder I have ever had--a dozen whole clams in the shell in the large bowl with tons of parsley, potatoes, cream...fish tacos with fish too big to wrap the tortilla around...addictive Chinese barbecue pork belly...and a fabulous whiskey flight. An evening I will remember! read more

Here's a polished, warm review you can post anywhere (Google, Yelp, Facebook): The Sandbar is an absolute gem. The food is truly amazing--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite hits the mark. If you're a whiskey or bourbon lover, this place is a must. Their selection is outstanding, with something for everyone, from familiar favorites to impressive pours you don't always find on the coast. What really sets The Sandbar apart, though, is the people. Heather, the bartender, is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable--she makes you feel right at home the moment you sit down. Jeff, the owner, clearly takes pride in the place, and it shows in every detail, from the atmosphere to the service. Great food, an amazing whiskey and bourbon lineup, and genuine hospitality--The Sandbar is a place you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

Slightly busy night of the Seahawks playoff game, but the people on the floor couldn't handle it. We watched the hostess or whatever she was cleaning her station while some people didn't even have water. Just weird and disappointing. **2 stars because the place is modern and looks entertaining. read more

The food is very good. Portions are a bit small and it's not cheap. But it is very good. The servers are always pleasant and helpful. The ambiance is very nice. It is one of the newest and cleanest restaurants in Long Beach WA. read more

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. read more

We've tried this place 3 times out of fairness. Last night was the last time for sure. Each time we were served a wrong drink order right out of the gate. Took forever by the way. Ordering off the menu looked and sounded good. Looks aren't everything. What you do get is bottled cheap mixers and salsa from a jar. Over priced deep fry and amateur grill work does not a make me feel like this is a kitchen of any standards. I think it's more of a drinking bar with an incompetent inexperienced bar staff. Third times a charm for me so I won't be returning. read more

One of the nicest establishments in the area, it was modern and clean. The reason I give e it a 4 out of 5 because, there were fruit flies everywhere. The resturant was really busy so I understand service was a little slow and the bar area didn't get cleaned in time we sat down. The bartender Kyle was great. He seemed to know what was going on and did his best to serve us well. We originally came in for drinks only, but it smelled good and it was a sushi night so I tried the salmon belly which was great. It came with a very small portion of sunomono salad and seaweed salad which was delicious. We also had the calamari which tasted pretty good, just a little too sweet for me. The mashed potatoes where on point. If it weren't for the fruit flies all over (I know that part can be tough) I would have gave this place a 5. read more

This is a newly opened business in Long Beach, WA and it was amazing. We came on a Sunday, on sushi nights and easily this is the best sushi on the peninsula. This restaurant was placed in a great area for friends having a good time and families wanting a spot to eat. It is located right next to the arcade and connects on the inside as well. There is bar seating and you choose where you want to sit. In the evening, it does get very busy, so at times there has been minimal seating available, for those with bigger families. On the outside, there are also food trucks available as well that are actively being promoted on the inside. The service was excellent here and Sandbar is an excellent new addition to the Peninsula that I recommend you try out. read more

Stopped in for drinks and a snack on a summer Sunday. The venue is pretty cool -- comfy and modern. They have a menu and allow food from the food court which is a pretty cool idea. We sat at the bar and were greeted, felt welcome. Had drinks and a sashimi plate. Service was pretty efficient. The bartenders are a little too chatty about what's going on in the bar and esp with their thoughts on other customers -- was a little uncomfortable at times. Drinks were solid though that was a really sweet Pinot Gris haha. Sashimi plate was small as expected for $13 and verrry pretty -- but the flavor fell a little flat but that may be just me -- I like more citrus with my sashimi. Fish was fresh and tasty. read more

You CAN believe the hype! Normally, I go into new restaurants on the peninsula with a heavy dose of skepticism. Almost every time a new restaurant surfaces, we get a lot of hype, excitement and FB posts like, "Man, this is going to be the greatest restaurant EVER!' It gets old. But not the Sandbar! It's legit. My wife and I headed in yesterday with a good friend. We decide to try a number of items. My wife ordered the Couscous and Carrot Salad, and the Black Garlic Beef Skewers with dirty rice. She was absolutely blown away! My buddy and I decided to share the half order of Dungeness Crab with some dirty rice, along with two Sushi Rolls - the Skinny Salmon and the PNW Dungeness Crab. The Dungeness Crab entree was, well, crab - how can you go wrong? But they serve it with this awesome Wasabi Honey Mustard and Ponzu sauce. They could bottle that stuff! The sushi was excellent. Please understand that they only have the Sushi Night menu on Fridays and Saturdays, though. They have a decent selection of local beers and ciders, featuring North Jetty and Ilwaco Cider Company. I would have liked to see Cavatica Stout, but I ordered the Rum Barrel cocktail, which was pretty good. James ordered the Cherry Blossom Manhattan, which I thought was better. The food was so good that we decided to order another sushi roll - the Albacore Truffle Roll. It was tasty, but I think the Skinny Salmon Roll was our favorite. We ordered the Mushroom dessert, which is a chocolate pudding and meringue. It was interesting, but just wasn't as good as our entrees. I think the only item that we were dissatisfied with was the dirty rice. All three of us were expecting a more 'dry' rice with some form of pork, beef or chicken. If there were any pieces of meat in that rice at all, we didn't detect it. But that wasn't enough to knock off a star on Yelp! The Sandbar is a 5-star experience, and has some great items, and we can't wait to go back and try a few more entrees. I'm really hoping that the Sandbar will achieve a level of quality and consistency that many businesses on the peninsula never reach. read more

Boo. They messed up our order, took an hour to get it, and charged us for ketchup?!?! Fucking ridiculous

If you are a bourbon lover - you've found your bar! My husband spotted the EH Taylor from the street so we had to go in. The bartender, Harold, knows his stuff. Very friendly staff, clean and cool looking bar/restaurant. We only had the oysters (which were great) but the food looked really good. Sushi on the weekends only. read more

What a great place! Stopped in for a drink and ended up getting a sushi roll. The albacore truffle roll. Yummy. The ambiance is cool. They have a huge bar with a crazy selection of whiskeys and more.

Mixed feelings about this establishment. We came here two nights in a row. The first night the service was great, but the spare ribs were dry and chewy. Night two, the service was marginal at best, but the beef skewers were great. There's rooftop seating, but no alcohol service up there. read more

Very good food! However for the price I wish the quantity was more and the ice tea was cheaper! Overall good place and service!

Horrible service twice in a row. Thought I'd give it another chance. I'm out. Zero customer service from our "server"

Thought we would stop in and check it out. The service was painfully slow even with very few customers and the waitstaff never looked me in the face one time. The cocktails are expensive, we ordered the steak skewers and Brussel sprouts. The skewers were tasty but the Mac and cheese had no flavor, the sprouts had some sort of fishy taste which is not what we wanted at all nor is it what we expected. The waitstaff never even asked if there was something wrong with the dish when she took it away still full. More than likely won't be back. To many great little places here on the coast for high priced mediocre food and subpar staff. read more

Had the cod and chips, a 4 piece and a 2 piece, at the Sandbar food truck and it was absolutely awful! Paid $40 and it was so full of grease it was nearly inedible. No offer of any compensation. Eat there at your own risk. read more

We came here shortly after it opened and everything was wonderful. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill fast after they gained popularity, apparently. The drinks are fantastic, but skip the food unless you're ordering from thw food carts, which is a great option. I had the one vegetarian entree offered, a $17 cauliflower steak with a side of macaroni & cheese. Pictured below... enough said. My husband had the calamari and a Cobb salad. Fried calamari was mushy and overwhelmed with curry. Salad was good until he found the hair. When mentioned to the waitress she said, "hmm, that's the 2nd salad...". She kindly adjusted the tab, but we won't be back. read more

All the servers & bartenders Rock! I invented a drink and they happily made it and I lived it. Oysters are phenomenal-fish tacos amazing! I've been to quite a few places in Long Beach and the service at Sandbar is unequalled-made me feel at home & well taken care of! Highly recommend! read more

A warm and welcoming reception at restaurants in Long Beach isn't the norm, but The Sandbar is an exception! Both weekends we were in town we had two different Hannahs serving us and they were outstanding! The sushi rice was undercooked, but the service we received more than made up for the inconvenience. Take my advice, start your evening with a cocktail at The Sandbar and it will make it easier to deal with the bitter faces you will encounter when entering most of the other establishments on the Main Street. read more

We stopped in and ordered french fries and the BBQ pork bites with a side of macaroni and cheese. They were out of BBQ pork bites so we had just the fries and macaroni, both of which were good. After we received our food though, our waitress completely ignored us. After about 20 minutes of our food being finished and waiting for her to check in with us, we flagged down a different waitress as our original one ignored us when we attempted to get her attention. The second waitress got us our check, and walked away. When she placed it on the table, I told her thank you and she ignored me and walked away. I don't know if it's because we sat at the bar and didn't order any alcohol or what, but we definitely will not be going back again. read more
