This place is a flat out Dive! Â That's fine by me. Â I come here for the chili dogs at lunch time and often make my way over to listen to the bands at night. Â There's nothing special here and that's probably what I like most about it. Â Usually the music is pretty good and I've found the service to be pretty good. Â I usually make a few trips to Sandy's every year and I'm always glad I came. Â If you're in the area and want to try someplace dark and loud, give this one a shot!
Review Source:Wow, so I've been coming to misquamicut for a while but never been to this place. Â 5 dollar cover to see a horrible band, the regulars looked a carnival sideshow, including a guy with a pet rat on his shoulder (you read that correctly). Â Despite that I had a pretty good time as everyone was enjoying themselves, but avoid this place if you aren't absolutely hammered before walking in.
Review Source:Went on a Thursday night... this restaurant was full of regulars, no one greeted us so we almost left until a rude bartender came over with a menu with barely anything on it. She did not offer to take drink orders. The regulars were loud and disrespectful. It had a cool atmosphere and I could see the potential but our time here was bad. We had a drink and left.
Review Source:We came in for beers and snacks on a Wednesday night. We definitely enjoyed the karaoke and pool tables. Â There were only a few patrons but the service at the bar was slow. The bartenders were chatty with locals and each other.
The cheeseburger was juicy and good. The clam chowder was good as well - creamy and warm with good clam flavor. Â The lobster roll was a disappointment, prepared with mayo (basically a lobster salad roll) and tiny chopped up pieces of lobster (?) Â meat. I felt a little ripped off (it was $14). Next time we will stick with the burger.
This place has a loyal local following, and lots of summer birds like us who are happy to have casual cheap food after a long day at the beach. We will be back next summer.
I made my annual return visit to Sandy's last night. Hasn't changed. I had just come down from Boston and I was hungry and the house wasn't warm. So I went over to Venice, had some desert and decided next to head to the beach. Nice clear night.
Sandy's parking lot was busy, so I said, "Why not?" Paid the 5 dollars, sat at the bar, drank two Diet Cokes and listened to some good rock music. Mixed crowd. Some just turning 21 and old men like me leering at them! Looks like most folks are from out of town and staying at the motels nearby.
Did I say I'm old? Not at Sandy's.
I freaking love this place.
The clientele: think the cast of "Jersey Shore" (but older and more leathery skinned) but with a soupçon of "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" added in for good measure.
The drinks: strong and cheap. Although the bartendress gave me the stinkeye when I asked if they had cider. No, J-Woww, I didn't mean apple cider.
The music: the cover band "Fat Betty" was playing the night we were there, bringing their own inimitable flavor to such rock classics as "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go." They brought the house down and sent many on the dance floor where delightful chaos ensued.
Sandy's also has karaoke a few times a week. I cannot wait to bear witness to this when I return in a couple of months.
