Place was dead but we came during Winter Break! Bartender was amazing and I could see me having a BLAST if just 8 more folks were there!

I fell in love in sandbar, I fell out of love at sandbar. I have experienced every conceivable emotion at sandbar. My first child was born here. Sandbar is the best bar ever.

We were in Lawrence dropping off our kid at
KU and decided to check this place out. This is now one of our favorite bars of all time. Joe was slinging some excellent drinks and interacted with everyone at the bar. If I lived in Lawrence, this would be my neighborhood bar.

A little disappointed, rude door guy.

I really wish I could write a proper review, I'm sure it's great inside. Immediately rejected by the door guy for not knowing the address on my ID even after expressing my circumstance for frequent address changes.

It's understandable to cast judgment on ID's for someone who is perceivably younger, But they could be a little more respectful without embarrassing customers by making unnecessary snarky comments implying deliberate misuse of a fake ID

I was visiting family for the holidays. I visited the Sandbar, to watch a Chiefs game. It was awesome they hosted a potluck and had random specials for shots. Everyone was inviting and chatty. Best of all super dog friendly. I mean like, dogs off leash with no one freaking out. I loved my visit.

The Sandbar is one of those places that will always be iconic in Lawrence. Yes, every bar can be a lot of fun.. HOWEVER, Sandbar is an experience. It is a party every night.They have fantastic drinks, with fun toys, and lights.The music is loud! All kinds of tunes to get you moving and singing.Extremely colorful, with pictures all over the walls. Years and years of memories.The people are a joy.A destination stop!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get into the door however this establishment is quite small.
