I used to really like sandbar, but tonight I went there with 5 white people and 1 black.. three of them went out to the patio to smoke/get fresh air, when they came back in the 2 white people walked in no problem. The one black guy was asked to pay cover. He told them he already paid cover and that he had just came outside for some air, but they told him again to pay $5. My friend asked an off duty door guy named zach to please tell the current door guy that the black guy had came in with them and had already paid cover an hour ago. Zach said "yea i saw him, but I'm not working tonight." When I went to confront the guys I was told "we aren't racist there are black guys in here right now".. I also was shoved out of the way by some random guy even though I wasn't physical towards anybody. It's really ironic that only the black guy was stopped upon reentering. It was a guy about 5'5 and a guy over 6 foot missing a tooth. All...

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...

Will not being going back. The bartender was definitely trying to take advantage of my friend and I. He was the only one working at the time so it was even more sketchy. The guy working told us that he liked young girls like us and that he had to check his pulse when he saw us. He then proceeded to keep touching me. We tried to leave and he said he wanted to entertain us and that we should just live our life. Super creepy. If you are a girl in your 20’s I would...

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!

This is a wonderful place. If you enjoy small bars with a diverse crowd you'll love this place. The bartender went well beyond others to make me feel at home. I had a blast and will remember my time here. GREAT PLACE! 12/1/22 - I just visited the Sand Bar today. Wow this is such a wonderful place. Great people working the bar, great clientele. Love it here. Thanks Sand Bar for another great time.

Visiting from Florida and Joe was fantastic! The bar reminds me of our beach bars back home (minus the beach of course). Joe was lively, friendly, and personable. We went mid afternoon on a Saturday and the bar wasn’t too crowded. Drinks were great and you can’t beat the price. Very happy that I got to experience this place and that we got to meet Joe.
