Painting Jack Daniels

First we have painted peacocks, now painted Jack Daniels? Yes, that's the case at the Sandbar Grill (3064 Grand Avenue). Here the staff is with Jack, from left, Rosie Reyes (manager), Shaakira Chanda, Phil Estevez (manager) and Donnie Callender.

Certain bars around the country are receiving this foam statue which they have to paint as part of a contest, the winner will receive a large bar tab, a party and bragging rights from the Jack Daniels company.

When at the Sandbar, try the Grilled Mahi Melt. It's Mahi, topped with cheddar cheese, cabbage, tomato and jalapeño white sauce on sour dough bread. One of the favorites, at $8.25 with a side, shown below with french fries.

On another note, The Sandbar is claiming they will come in first again this year at the Great Grove Bed Race (they won the honor last year). The sign-up applications should be available next week. You can get all the latest news and updates at the Facebook Fan Page here.
