Sandbar friend Annie recently traveled to Philadelphia and sent us this picture of her Sandbar shirt! This is the first picture we've gotten from Philly.
Thanks, Annie! Hope your trip was lots of fun.
If you've got a picture of your Sandbar shirt somewhere cool, send it to us!
Starting this Friday, January 21, the Sandbar Sub Shop in downtown Ottawa will feature live music Fridays!
The lovely Katlyn Conroy will kick off the series. She's a fantastic singer/songwriter/musician in Lawrence who also happens to be Peach's niece. She'll start at 6 p.m.
The dinner specials for the evening:
After enjoying dinner and the music, head over to the Crystal Plaza Theater and enjoy a special showing of "True Grit" at 8 p.m. Special ticket price for this showing is only $6.
This event is to celebrate the Sub Shop's new live music nights and entertainment choices in downtown Ottawa, and we hope you'll join us!
That might be the words to a song we all know and love, but it's also a claim we can make. Sort of.
Recently Dave was doing some routine maintenance around the bar (I don't really know what that means) and he pulled some stuff off the ceiling. One of the things he found, which we've never seen before, was this:
Way back in 1993, we got a check for a million dollars from Uncle Andy's Hambonery. Anyone remember this place? (It was before my time.)
Next time you're in the bar, you might notice yet another new addition:
A new surfboard menu hangs behind the bar above the pint glasses.
Dave bought some plexiglass and created a cool new sign that lights up with a blacklight. It features a list of our tropical drinks along with the shots available on the shot wheel.
Be sure to let Dave know what you think of his handiwork!
Apparently there's a holiday for everything.
I discovered today through the magic of Twitter that today is National Rubber Duck Day. You know what this means- you all need to come to the Sandbar tonight for Tropical Drink Night and enjoy some rubber ducks with your drinks. I'm pretty sure we still have rubber duck keychains available.
Bring your favorite rubber duck toys from the past and show them off! Leave a comment and let us know what your favorite rubber duck toy is- we've offered all kinds, from cowboy ducks to cheerleader ducks to nurse ducks.
This Wikipedia entry about rubber ducks contains everything you ever wanted to know about the little yellow toys. The Guinness World Record for largest rubber duck collection stood at 2,583 rubber ducks in 2007. We're not going to try to beat that one.
I couldn't find any information quickly about how or why National Rubber Duck Day began, but here's another fun little tidbit about rubber ducks making their way around the ocean.
