The Sandbar, New Hope

The Sandbar's cooks help bring a tropical atmosphere to their landlocked lounge with signature dishes that incorporate Caribbean flavors. Their crab cakes arrive with a citrusy side of key-lime rémoulade and the corn-tortilla nachos get loaded with spicy tuna tartare, fresh avocado, and a sweet soy glaze. In addition to the beachside eats, cooks also smoke pulled pork over apple-wood chips and build sandwiches around hamburger patties, Louisiana-style fried catfish, or jerk chicken breast shaped like the Sandwich Islands. Behind a full bar, staff members mix signature margaritas and mojitos for patrons to nurse as they enjoy open mics, live DJ sets, and karaoke nights scheduled throughout the week.
