Food was amazing! The pot stickers were to die for — we loved them so much we ordered a second round. The drinks were just as impressive, and our waitress (even though she was new) was absolutely fabulous. Great experience all around! Will definitely be coming back

The best ceviche, dry rubbed wings, firecracker shrimp, chicken tenders and sands frites(fries). I totally forgot to take pics before eating but as you can see everything was really good! Awesome place! Jim was great!!!

This was a serendipitous find for us after all the Mexican restaurants were overwhelmed on May 5. A small but lovely neighborhood pub and grub with fun drinks and delicious unique food choices. Not typical bar food at all! Try the Classic if you like seafood. It provides a wonderful blend of tastes and textures. Definitely try the fries and the house made ketchup with a touch of special spices, it's yummy. Prices were reasonable. The staff were so very friendly and welcoming, we felt like family immediately.

I would never recommend this place! The food was terrible & I’m not even sure how you mess up fried bar food! Owner is very rude! Shame too since we were excited to try the place out, hoping for a new hangout/sports bar. Best if you stay far away from here

Newer spot on the island. Great food. Ice cold 🍺. Friendly service! Enjoyed the Cheese Quesadilla. Nicely decorated and if you're a 'Sparty' fan there's always something to chat about. Stop by and enjoy!

Absolutely terrible place. Not family friendly. Judged my family as soon as we got there. Said if my kids weren’t going to behave they would be removed…threatening families before they even sit down.

Being from the Newengland area and have traveled the world I have always gravitated toward a restaurant like Cheers! Jim and his professional team has created an amazing environment with extremely delicious appetizers and entrees in that fashion. The beer is cold, the wine is quality and the cocktails are made to perfection. With chef Josh in the kitchen the presentation and taste of every entree is priceless. Regardless if you live here in beautiful Venice or visiting our lovely community Sands comes highly recommend from me and my family and friends!
Cheers!

A great vibe. You’ll feel like a local.I like that we don’t wait in a line. It’s a friendly place. Clean, TV’s, parking lot across the street. I love the chicken quesadilla! My husband likes the soup, burger and anything fish… along with the beer. A great night out or a Saturday lunch. ♥️

Parking: Parking in front or in free lot across the street.

What a great little find in Venice! We had the ceviche and the truffle fries. (Appetizer/drink hopping) Delish!!!! The owners were super friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. Great spot downtown! Great yummy items on the menu that I cannot wait to go back and try!!
