    The vibes of this place are immaculate! This is exactly what this beach needed. I also enjoyed the service and the awesome activities they have inside such as cornhole, pickleball, beach volleyball, and a playground for the kids. The only thing I have to say is the prices for drinks is terrible. $8 for a shot, $9 for a frozen drink, and $12 for the picture down below. If it was normal sized I wouldn't care, but because it was in a small water cup with the majority only being ice it bugged me. I was only able to have a couple sips. Once they fix the portion sizes this place is perfect.

    Cute place. Very cool vibes definitely a family friendly bar. They have not too much selection of drinks but a good enough variety. The staff was overall pretty decent. They have lots of activity's like corn hole, pickle ball, and volleyball courts. But, unlike other beach bars you can bring your drinks out to hang out on the beach. A big bummer. They make up for it by having live music to enjoy which made the place a lot more lively. They even had pretty lights, along with fire pits to keep you warm. The place is a lot better after sun down and they even have food trucks on sight for treats. Very nice.

    Overall the Sandbox was okay. There were some plus and minuses. The bartenders behind the bar were cheery and helpful. The drink selection was minimal and pricey, but the Sandbox drink that's served in a bucket was quite tasty (a bit sweet though). The waitress roaming the sitting area (Tina) was rude and off putting. She didn't introduce herself her first time around then got upset that we didn't order with her when we ran out of our drink. I would suggest she work on her hospitality. Lastly, besides some kids screaming and running around, the day was nice and the vibes were chill. We may or may not visit again.

    Daytime views. Everything here is styled for the gram, but still feels very local.

    I was able to take my dog. I had an angry orchard apple cider. We walked up from the beach. It was a nice surprise seeing it there.

    Barton Street is a clean, honestly priced, wonderful place to hang out in the Bluff…read more They have karaoke twice a week On Sunday nights they put out hot food for free to their patrons and have happy hour pricing. They have free shuffleboard and free billiards. What could be better? The restrooms are clean enough to eat off the floor and it never smells like a bar inside. Not really sure why they have three stars. This is our favorite place to go chill with our friends.

    I have been going to Barton St for years . I am Now, a disabled individual and have had to have the…read moreuse of a service dog for 14 years. Last night, I was told I was not allowed to be in the establishment, which is a non-pet-friendly establishment, because they have cats living inside their facility, so they do not allow any animals, even service dogs. This establishment is known because also of the food that it serves and offers throughout the community. I feel that this is a health regulation and not only a health violation, but I was discriminated against, denied entry and services because I have a medical task-trained service dog, which is considered medical equipment. I understand that every business has the right to refuse service in Texas, or just in general. But the way that the employee handled this, I feel was extremely unprofessional, very rude, and was uncalled for. I am writing this review because I do not want any other disabled individual who has to have the use of a medical canine to be treated the way that I was. Also, so it be known that they have felines roaming around their establishment where they serve food. I know that everyone will have their own opinion on this situation. However, if somebody does not say something, then establishments like this will be able to continue to get away with it. The disabled K-9 handlers will continue to be discriminated against. I do not wish any ill will on the establishment. I just want it to simply be known. Thank you, and God bless. Update: 9/24/26 I was able to get in contact with the owner, he and I had a nice conversation. He was completely unaware that his staff is telling individuals it is because of cats that they do not allow service dogs. He told me that the felines have nothing to do with why they do not allow animals or service dogs inside. That he has been trying to get rid of the cats but they continued to go in and people end up feeding and playing with them. Explains why they are so hard to get rid of . But the Main reason is because many people have done what unfortunately I get discriminated against a lot for . They lied about their animals being service animals and they or the dogs cause problems in the past. I understand why businesses are hesitant and untrustworthy of their patrons because of dishonest individuals. But the way and the reason for why I was denied service is unacceptable. He said he will have a conversation with his staff and he has been working on getting the cats out of the establishment. Thank you to the owner for speaking with me and for addressing this manner. Sidenote: People do not understand just how much hurt and discrimination is caused to Real Disabled K9 Handlers from the dishonesty of trying to pass off a non trained pet as a medically trained service dog & what it can do to disabled individuals as myself and many others. Before you decide to lie about a pet and say they are a medical tasked trained life saving alert service animal think about if one of your loved ones that God forbid becomes and gets to the point of being medically disabled to where that they may need the assistance of a service animal and then gets treated and judged against because of a choice you are making to be dishonest . Thank You & God Ble
