Sand Bar

Fresh flavors, lake views, and laid-back vibes.

A longtime institution, 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 dockside hangout spot you crave after a long day on the lake. Pull up a chair under the famous hanging boat and let us handle the rest.

 

Choose from indoor seating, outdoor patio dining, or simply pull up a seat at the bar, all while you enjoy the picturesque waterfront dining we’re famous for.
