Sand Bar

This place is definitely a vibe all they're missing is food I definitely recommend coming here to catch a good vibe the music was great,the drinks were good super affordable,and the atmosphere is so cool it gives summer vibes during any season and I loved that ! Parking isn't to complicated on weekdays it's more so complicated on weekends where you may have to park a block or two away they are not kid friendly as far as I know! The drink prices range around $12-$16 super affordable

We were just walking around finding another place to go and found this bar. Definitely feels like you're a beachside bar on vacation and it took me a few seconds to realize there was actual sand lol. The place was pretty big would a lot of seating and the bartenders were really nice. The music playing was great and when the DJ started he kept the good vibes going. I would definitely go back. I don't believe they have food options.

This was the best beach in Oakland! Anytime you need to get away, the Sand Bar is the destination. I came in and was greeted by the DJ playing reggae and instantly noticed the sand. Most of the floors are covered in sand like your on the beach. We were greeted by the bartenders who gave up great recommendations. They dont have a kitchen but you can order food to their location. Don't forget to take a picture at the photo booth. Great bar and will definitely go back soon

Let me tell you about a Christmas place for adults.It's here.Like Ken said, "I just Beach."You can Beach here as you walk on real sand sipping the adult drink of your choice.They have separate rooms for you, your friends, etc and even a photo booth at $6.50 a sheet.Friendly bartender, fun decor. They have spiked hot cider and hot chocolate as well as your standard well drinks.Great place to celebrate you completing or not completing your Christmas shopping and talk about how fast this year has flow by.

Great vibes and solid pricing! It's a very cute concept and they play good music. I've gone a few times and it's definitely a favorite spot when I'm in the area. Great service!!

Remember to treat your regulars as good as the tourists. Thats all I need to say. When the rush is in and the tourists with money flood in, don't forgot who keeps you open.

Definitely here for the island vibes. I'm not local anymore, but this would definitely be a go-to bar for me. Love the decor and ambiance. I tried the rum punch and really liked it. I haven't had one in a while, but no complaints - it was sweet but balanced. The have other classic cocktails you find at Caribbeans spots (like a dark & stormy) and beers like Red Stripe. There was LOTS of seating. The space is huge. It would be cool if they could get a pop up kitchen here and serve some food. That was the only thing missing that I would have liked. Bathrooms were clean also

Sand Bar was a lot smaller than expected, so it didn't work out for our group, but it's cute! The real sand inside was not expected as I didn't do any research prior to going. Music is good and service was friendly. We didn't stay long as we were just a big party.They don't serve Hennessy VSOP, so we had to order regular henny shots.

I don't think Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello drank alcohol in their beach movies probably because they would've been carded and turned away for pretending to be teenaged surfers. But if they tippled, this beach-style club would be where they'd come to meet Gidget and Moondoggie but only if Dick Dale and the Del Tones were playing watusi rock n' roll on the bandstand.But hey, this ain't Malibu. It's Oakland, Uptown on Broadway, probably the last place where you'd hear "Surf's Up!" But here it is replete with sand scattered on the floor and a casual decor along the lines of the "Gilligan's Isle" set. Jamie W. and I decided to drop by since we had been seeking out local tiki bars - and this was the closest we could get beyond Kona Club (review: https://bit.ly/3fkElTV).We did go tropical with our first round even though parasols weren't included. Jamie went for the $9 Mai Tai, while I ordered the $10 Passive Aggressive, an appropriately named combination of vodka, passionfruit, lemon, tangerine, strawberry, and guava (photo: https://bit.ly/3YFvXjB). Both were potent and got us in the mood for one of their house specialties.We decided to give the Gorilla Milk a try, $19 Doubles no less (photo: https://bit.ly/3WxTrW0). They bill it as a dairy-free slushie consisting of Captain Morgan white rum, Bailey's Almande, Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, creme de banana, and crème de cacao. It definitely had a sneaky kick under its creamy milkshake facade, so much so we ended up in the phone booth. Don't ask.COCKTAILS - 4 stars...Frankie and Annette would've approved, especially that Gorilla MilkAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...maybe a little more sand...and a guest appearance from the Big Kahuna?SERVICE - 3 stars...bartender was busyTOTAL - 4 stars..."Surf's Up!"RELATED - Looking for a tiki or beach bar?

Great Ambiance, great drinks, great prices, local bar feel. Go early, unless you're bar hopping and already intoxicated. It gets busy.
