The bartenders were kind and attentive and they made our drinks to our liking. Nothing fancy - old fashioned for me and Irish whiskey and beer for my partner. The music was fun and enjoyable and we spent just over an hour drinking and enjoying the bar service. They are open late til 3am. The next day we came back for food. It was crowded but they accommodated us at the bar to make a to go order. The food was well portioned and prepared and didn't take too long to come out even with the large crowd. Again, the bar service was good and attentive. I would be back.

Which was so welcoming, considering it was hovering around 100 outside. 70's music playing amply throughout.

When the work day is done, it gets busy. We sat at the bar, our bartender was Tabitha. What a sweetheart, she did such a great job, very attentive and friendly. The food was great. We had the Anita bacon dip to start with pita wedges. You must get this. It was so full of flavor and the portion was more than ample to share. Had a side salad, which was cool because you can choose your toppings that you want (salad/pizza toppings), with the red wine vinaigrette was perfect. A standard pepperoni pizza was ordered, which the 12" was very adequate for two people to share. The crust was thin and crunchy, topped very well with lots of cheese and very flavorful. Something you didn't expect. We were very very pleased. Our entire visit was awesome. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cool speakeasy dive bar with perfect "cold" beer and a FULL bar with great food and an awesome atmosphere.

I sat at the bar solo and ordered my food to go and had a conversation with two lovely folks , it really made my night. Wish I could give yall 10 stars, don't change a thing!!

I had tried it a few other places and was not super impressed. Our hotel was very close to Sandshakers, so one of the days we were visiting, I decided to go get a couple Bushwackers for my Wife and I to try while the kids swam. Setting the scene... I walked into Sandshakers around... 130-2pm. Upon entering, not a soul in sight. The place seemed closed as it was VERY dark and quiet. I walked around until finding a small bar with a few patrons. All of which were pretty old (I am 40) and they all had to be in their late 60s to early 80s. I sat down, with the idea that i would be in and out. welp... I was wrong. The bartender was nowhere to be found, so I got to listen to a bunch of EXTREMELY crass men talk a bunch of nonsense as if they were teenagers that just learned to swear. It was very awkward. I would say 10 minutes passed and I decided that I had enough of it and was going to leave, as i stood up a woman appeared from the back and said "perfect timing" maybe thinking I had just arrived. I asked for two bushwackers and then got to see her exchange a few insults with the clearly regular patrons before getting my drinks and paying. I high tailed it out of there, but not being heading her warning that all of the booze was on the bottom and to make sure its properly stirred or it wont be very good. I walked back to the hotel and gave my wife the same instructions, we stirred as much as we thought was needed but were both met with straight alcohol. I guess not something most complain about because thats the purpose of drinking booze right? But they weren't good. We both struggled to drink ours and they eventually melted and we pitched them. Seems strange that the alcohol wasn't floated rather than put in first but I am no expert. We did not return and I did not get the hype. The Key lime Colada at Flounders was exponentially better than said Bushwacker.

What did Toby Keith say? I love this bar!…read more I love that their cocktail menu has a different theme each season, with drinks personalized and created by each bartender. You can genuinely tell how much pride the team takes in their work and how much they enjoy coming up with fun, creative drinks. I'm not much of a bourbon drinker myself, but I have to appreciate their impressive bourbon selection and their bourbon wall is seriously beautiful! The whole place has such a laid back, welcoming vibe, and it's refreshing to find somewhere that feels a little more grown up and relaxed without being packed with a bunch of young kids. Definitely one of those spots you can sit back, enjoy a great drink, and take in the atmosphere! And if you're lucky, they may be playing Harry Potter on the projector!

It seems like a local's bar, because everyone that walked in knew each other and the bartender. Plenty of tvs to watch a game, and pool tables to pass the time.

If we hadn't been full we definitely would have tried them. Highly recommend this small dive.

Went in the other night and (one of) the bartenders (the oversized bald one who you can find crying on the curb) threw a bottle of water at my car then ran up to my car and started screaming at me (because I laughed). Told the other bartender and he said he couldn't (wouldn't) do anything because "he works here". The second bartender seemed exasperated so I'm assuming this is something that happens frequently.
