About

Restaurant
A longtime institution, the Sand Bar originally opened in 1994. We preserved the character that made it the legend it is while updating the menu with an extensive beer and wine selection, fresh cocktails, and simple yet perfect bar staples like crisp golden fries. It’s the casual hangout spot you crave after a long day on the lake. Pull up a chair under the famous hanging boat and let us take care of you.

    Great food and a wonderful view. Service has always been good. Great place for a relaxed bite to eat. Menue changes with the seasons but the seafood salad is really good.

    Extremely disappointed and honestly disgusted at the cleanliness of the Sandbar. Particularly the bathrooms. For such an upscale and pricey place, the bar was filthy, littered with dirty dishes, unwashed, and a clearly overwhelmed bartender. The women’s bathroom was probably the filthiest I have been in with every stall unflushed or overflowing with filthy waste, no toilet paper or towels, dirty floors and sinks. What has happened to this place?

    The time between ordering and being served was an hour and a 1/2. There was not more than 5 other diners for the first 45 minutes we were there. Atmosphere was bar trivia night. We thought we would miss it with an early reservation but we're wrong ( started at 7pm). On the plus side the food was excellent.
