History

Established in 2006.

Originally 514 State Street was a car dealership and later became a series of successful bars/​restaurants. Prior to our purchase of Sandbar, James and John Maxwell bought calypso and changed the name to Sandbar. We purchased it in August of 2006. In August of 2007 we put in a full Mexican menu with recipes from one of the owners first restaurants, Red Onion. We’ve been very blessed with the success we’ve had since that time. We recently revised our menu to include items like fresh ceviche, home made tortillas and market fresh margaritas.

Thank you for taking the time to review our Yelp page.

I started in the restaurant business as a senior in College. Now I’m going on 20 years in the restaurant business. We have been very blessed with a wonderful local following and tremendous tourism business practically since we opened. We are currently working on revising our drink menu and food menu. We aren’t reinventing the wheel as much as we are improving most of our items with the help of our new executive chef Raymond Alvarez. Please stop by for an authentic Santa Barbara dining experience; our friendly staff awaits you.
