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. Itβs 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.
The views and atmosphere are top notch. From the landscaping and Adirondack chairs with fire pits. Plus a dock to walk out on and sit. Was a sunny breezy day which was perfect. Didnβt have to wait long for your food. The Asian chicken salad I would highly recommend. The ginger carrot dressing compliments the sweet chili glazed chicken oh so well! 100% going back! Was a great night out with the co workers with delicious food and amazing views.
Gr8 casual place for lighter fares, Gr8 view of Canandaigua lake, Gr8 service (thx Olivia) and good place for families and small groups!

We wanted a great lunch by the lake. We sat facing the water/marina and loved the vibe. On line they listed BBQ Ribs but they had been taken off the menu. So on to skirt steak, ordered rare, came close to" well done". Second one was better but it is a piece of meat that should not be offered if it can't be cooked right. Lobster & shrimp roll was just ok, little taste. Neither was worth the price. Fries were great and so were the brussel sprouts. So just go for the vibe.

Hostess did not want us there. She repeatedly tried to discourage us from staying. It was a Monday, the place was not even 1/3 full, she insisted that everything was reserved, when pressed, she reluctantly said she could seat us outside. She put us at the only table in the blazing hot sun, we asked about the umbrella, she said "it weighs 400 pounds, I can't move it", which was an obvious lie. Those umbrellas don't weigh 400 pounds, they're designed to be moved, and there were a lot of capable young people working. No one came to serve our table. Just as we were getting up to leave, someone finally brought water, but it was not an acceptable situation and we were clearly unwelcome, so we left.
Based on our experience, this is the kind of place where you spend a lot of money so that the staff will discriminate and turn away anyone who does not appear to be their preferred clientele.
