Great venue right on the beach. Friendly staff. Good coffee. Mexican Chilli Scramble was hugely disappointing however. Totally bland - maybe 2 teaspoons of ‘salsa’ and I couldn’t find the jalapeño. Was looking round for Sriracha or something to amp it up. Is more accurately described as scrambled eggs with sour cream and guacamole with a sprinkle of salsa for colour.

I enjoyed my chicken poke bowl. It was a generous serving and tasted yummy. There was like a 30 minute wait for the coffee after our food arrived. The chips and toasted ham croissant was also good. I would come back and recommend. The view of the beach is lovely. It's a lively spot.

We had a party for my sister, and it was one of the nicest parties I've been to. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. There's a nice view of the peninsula, and the sea is a few steps away.

A nice place to grab a morning coffee.This is my second time here and I’ve really enjoyed myself. Staff are friendly and helpful.Thanks for finding my earbud! I really do appreciate it! Sincerely 🤍Downside, they didn’t have any soap liquid in both of the toilets and people were coming out of them. I do care about hygiene, and of others. So I definitely said something, and the Manager took action right away!Thanks for that! Definitely will be going back and taking in that beautiful view. I also made a friend 🐾🐶

One of few spots with beach access around Port Phillip Bay and you can actually sit on the sand and have your meal

Could sit here for hours upon hours by the beach enjoying the coffee and good vibes! Though food and coffee can be a bit of a wait, understandably as it’s super busy when it’s sunny, it’s always worth the wait! Thanks sandbar team 🙏

Removed some stars because they now prioritise drinks for walk-ins over drinks with meals.At no point at a sit down service should your drinks come half an hour or more after you have finished your food.On a dog friendly beach. 😊🤩

I don't have a photo of the brisket burger because my boyfriend rightly wrapped himself around it and wouldn't let go, it was so tender and tasty with a crunchy bun, you should definitely order that. Chips were equally perfect. We'd go back just for the burger, sitting right on the beach (minus the sand) views are a bonus.

The Sandbar is the perfect venue for a party, we had the best time celebrating my husband Sean's 60th birthday - great ambiance, food, drinks, service and a sparkling happy place to celebrate!! Cannot recommend The Sandbar highly enough and so easy and efficient to deal with!

Beautiful location by the beach, yesterday the whole place is hectic no service at all. We clean the dirty table ourself, bring water for ourselves, have to queue for ordering too… it’s really badWe waited 40minutes for our food too.But when the food come the food is nice hence the 3 star is all for the food.Would I go back again? Definitely not

Visited with a group of friends and it was a sunny day. The atmosphere is good specially in a sunny day but personally we didnt enjoy the food. It felt like it is just missing something and definitely felt like it is done in a budget. Price you pay is for the view and the food quality can get a lot of improvements. Got a smashed avo which came with tiny pieces of toast and only one egg and a cheese that lacked any taste what so ever( very uninspiring). We also got a Benedict which looked good but was on a very small size and supposedly had pulled meat ( hard to find in plate). Over all we went and ate something afterwards too as all 5 of us were not full.

Food and atmosphere is great especially when the sun’s out. It’s our special place to go to but a shame today the food wait has been over an hour. The kitchen is working frantically I’m sure, but perhaps they took on more order than they should and keeping patrons waiting for over an hour for food is not good for any restaurant no matter how busy it is. Food ordered at 2.23pm and has not arrived at 3.30pm at time of writing this. Perhaps let your patrons know there will be a long wait at the time of order.

Hosted our wedding a couple of months ago at The Sandbar. We had the BEST time. Lovely staff that night including bartenders, waiters and security. Sam was just amazing to us! She made sure we were being looked after. Food was DELICIOUS, our guests were in fact very pleased with the canapés being served hot. Sound system was on point and we definitely had a lot of fun that night. Very pleased about the overall experience and we don't regret choosing The Sandbar as our wedding venue. Thank you Caitlin for helping us organise our magical day.

Coffees came out promptly and were very nice. Kids enjoyed their milkshakes, however nothing on the menu for the little fella was a bummer. Lunch was great. The schnitzel was excellent as was the calamari and fish n chips.

WEDDIN PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITIES AROUND SANDBAR BEACH CAFE

As an experienced Melbourne city wedding photographer, I love city wedding venues as they are closed to other popular wedding photo locations so that couples can head around without long distance.

Meanwhile, Sandbar Beach Cafe, situated in Melbourne, presents a captivating backdrop for wedding photography. The pristine beach setting allows for intimate shots as the couple strolls along the sandy shore, with the vast ocean and the venue’s elegant facade enhancing the romance, especially during the soft hues of sunrise and sunset. Nearby docks and piers offer a touch of sophistication, creating timeless photographs with the couple against the backdrop of tranquil waters and boats gently swaying, capturing the essence of coastal elegance.

Inside and out, the venue’s design elements provide an exquisite backdrop for capturing the couple amidst the stylish decor, adding a touch of glamour to the wedding album. Additionally, the surrounding coastal area provides opportunities for lively and vibrant photographs, with lush greenery, palm trees, and natural elements creating visually appealing compositions that reflect the beauty of nature.

Whether it’s candid embraces between the newlyweds or guests enjoying the cocktail hour, these spontaneous snapshots add authenticity and warmth to the wedding album, portraying the true essence of the celebration.
