| Err yes we have got all the correct beer glasses! We've had them for quite a few months now. They are hanging upside down above the draft pumps on two newly installed glass racks, I am surprised you missed them. As you will see some of these glasses are gorgeous and last time we tried this they all disappeared very quickly. So I hope you understand if we are a tad overprotective! We have copied an idea we saw in a bar in belgium. We require a deposit of one shoe, yes a shoe as a deposit for any customer who wants the correct glass with their beer. This will be exchanged for a very comfortable clog (for safety). An optional £5 refundable deposit will be accepted instead if you do not wish to play our game but we would rather not take the money, it is not as much fun! We are sorry but the glasses will not be available after 5pm on busy nights We also have a number of games which are available free using this same system. SHOES AND DEPOSITS ARE STILL REFUNDABLE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY BREAK THE GLASS ashleywade44 - 3 Jul 2009 15:13 |
| Still worth a visit this place, still no "proper" glasses for the foreign beers. The real ale was in good nick on last visit, both from Phoenix. bloomfieldjpm - 23 Jun 2009 05:24 |
| Interesting little bar with several quirky rooms, one feels like an outdoor courtyard, even though you're inside. Has a couple of guest beers on, one is usually from Phoenix, always well kept. It's a bit of a walk out of town, but it's worth it. ROBCamra - 30 Jan 2009 15:24 |
| Sorry about the jukebox we were having problems with it and have since had it replaced. We are getting all the beer glasses and we will put them out as soon as we get some flip flops as we will be taking a shoe as a deposit on them. We have had the glasses in before but they all ran away very quickly. Sandbar is growing all the time and we are always interested to hear feedback!

| An excellent, straightforward, if slightly spartan place. They've got a very good range of draft ale and a banging' choice of bottled beers. The handpumped stuff is interestingly presented on an old church's hymn board. The juke box is good, but watch out for the disappointingly large number of selections that just don't want to play. If I was almost anywhere in Greater Manchester with a Freedom Pass, I'd make the effort to get to this place. Dave_the_Bee - 9 Sep 2008 00:51 |
