The Sandbar

I tried to think  is the Sandbar 5 star worthy, and couldn't see a reason as not to be 5 star.

Expecting the usual "bar burger" good but not great I was shocked as to how much I enjoyed this burger.
I ordered The Farmer burger which has cheese bacon and a fried egg. MMMMM the burger was spot on perfectly medium rare and the egg done over easy was bursting with yolk, no hard edges to the egg which is easy to do.
My dining companion had the Sandbar burger which was just as good w/ let,tom,bacon, cheese and jalapenos.
We had ordered the spinach artichoke dip as a app which was served nice and warm with very tasty tortilla chips which seemed housemade.

Service was very friendly and prompt with some nice beer specials.

So if your on the far eastside by Metro Park stop by.

Worst.bar.ever.

I went to this place after a long day of boarding strictly because my boyfriends best friend was leaving town and everyone had gathered here for a goodbye drink.

I went into the restroom while he ordered me a drink. I walk up to the bar next to him and the bartender ( who looked like she was about 19) asks for my ID. I hand her my drivers license. she gives me the death stare says she can't serve me. She calls over her manager and she also says she can't serve me because my drivers license is "fake" ( I'm from Texas so that's what I gave her).

Granted Ive been to this place about 5 times and I've never had a problem.
At this point I proceed to give her 5 other forms of ID. 4 different credit cards, all with the same name and a picture of my passport that I keep on my phone.
I also recite my driver license number, address, etc...
She still refuses to serve me claiming that I got my drivers license from Canada.
Why the hell would I take the time to provide you with 5 other forms of ID you idiot?!
Surely, if they were concerned with underage drinking, I would've been out of there as soon as they decided my DL was fake.
What really pissed me off was the fact that about 20 people came to the bar in this time span and not a single one of them was carded.

Finally, the DJ comes over ( who's friends with my boyfriend) and the owner comes out and gives me the OK, demanding that the ditzy bar tender serve me.

At this point, I'm over it. I was only there for my boyfriend and he was more livid than I was.
She finally asks me what I want to drink with so much attitude that I look at her and say "I'm good, thanks".
No way in hell I'm giving you my money after all the attitude I just got.

Not to mention their food is terrible.

If I could give you NO star I would.

I've been to the sandbar multiple times, probably 15 or so. Never been disappointed with this place. Consistently clean, never had to deal with any "drunks" at the bar, and the servers are good most of the time! Food is really good for a bar, the sandbar burger is fantastic, as are the steak bites. Drinks are priced accordingly as well. Mondays they have all you can eat wings for $9 (they are fantastic) as well as half off pizzas on Wednesday and half off your bill for service industry on Sundays. No complaints about this place.
