The editorial take
Sandbar is an oceanfront tiki bar with a cocktail program that leans into rum-forward fun: tiki drinks by the bucket, hand-muddled mojitos, and a wall of frozen concoctions. Happy hour drops tiki cocktails to $5 and draft beer to half price, making it a practical beachside stop. The wine and beer lists are competent but secondary to the cocktail show.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Sandbar Mai Tai or the Jungle Bird; both show the tiki focus. For groups, order a bucket of tiki cocktails. During happy hour, the $5 tiki cocktails are the value play.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beachgoers and groups seeking fruity, rum-driven drinks in a tiki atmosphere. Cocktail enthusiasts looking for hand-muddled mojitos and frozen classics will find familiar ground. Wine-focused guests may find the list limited.
- When should I go?
- Evenings feature special guest DJ performances, making it a lively spot for a sunset drink.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Tiki cocktails are $13 each; the Jungle Bird is $16. Draft beers range from $6.50 to $8, canned beers from $6 to $9. Happy hour tiki cocktails are $5, and draft beer is half price. Wine bottles range from $28 to $130.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The tiki program is the draw: buckets and pitchers of tropical cocktails, hand-muddled mojitos with Bacardí rums, and a frozen drink list that includes a Killer Colada. VIP bottle service and DJ performances add a beach-club layer.

How it sits with the food
No food menu was reviewed, but the cocktail list—especially the citrus-forward tiki drinks and hand-muddled mojitos—would pair naturally with light seafood or grilled fare typical of a beachside bar.
