If you're looking for one of the best ocean views in Islamorada, The Sandbar is a must visit! The atmosphere is perfect — not too crowded, and the live music adds a great touch without being overwhelming. The real standout, though, is bartender Carlos. He’s an absolute gem — friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing, enjoyable time by the water!

Staff were awesome, very friendly and helpful. Food was very good & we will be coming back. Had nice view from seats near the beach side. We randomly stopped in on a Thursday for the first time & they were getting ready to start a Trivia Night.... Was quite fun to join along as we ate.

Evan is absolutely amazing!!! Such an asset to The Sandbar, very personable, attentive! Our Mexican street corn app was delish. The cilantro lime shrimp tacos were delightful! The Pecana steak was cooked medium rare and the seasonings were lovely! Beautiful view of the ocean and awesome atmosphere made for a perfect night with such incredible attentive service from Evan!! Will definitely be back!

The view cannot be beat. Very clean. Table service was friendly but fell off with more than a few tables. The food is tasty but not particularly unique.

Stopped into SandBar on my last night of vacation, AND it just so happened to be trivia night! 6:30pm-8pm on Thursdays is trivia at SandBar. My bartender, Jen, was so accommodating and kind- she made my weird drink request no problem. (Ask Jen for a sweet tea mojito 😉) I got the 1/2 order of nachos, which were plentiful. Plenty of menu options for everyone and reasonable prices to boot. Happy hour lasts up until 7pm on Thursdays, and apparently on Fridays they do a crazy deal on appetizers and drinks. All in all a great place to stop in for views, deals, and friendly service!
Thank you Carlos for a great experience and fun night! The drinks were Amazing!

Yanis made this the best experience. We were heading back home to Miami and stopped for a quick bite. The second floor was not crowded at the moment, she gave us VIP treatment and even as it got more crowded she was the same and didn’t stop attending us. The view, the experience and the music was great and very reasonable priced for all that we ordered. We will be back

Excellent food except for a lot of food were cold it should to be heated, also I would like to have more options of food, I think was limited. The ousters were incredible delicious. Desserts were amazing! The view is the best on this restaurant

Went to the Sand Bar for happy hour. Been living in the keys off and on for 30 years. First time ordering the ribs…OMG!! The atmosphere, service, and food (ribs) were simply the best.
Yanis is the best ever!!! We never needed anything!!
If you want to have a true Keys Local afternoon, happy hour - go so Yanis at The Sand Bar mm 83-84. Enjoy!!!
The best place for relaxing! With an excellent bartender, good music and the sea!
