Why can't I quit you?
Now, when I refer to the Slut as a dive bar, I do so with the utmost reverence. This is exactly what a dive bar should be. There are a couple of issues that must be addressed, however:

1. Why did you all have to clean up that lovely garden of expletives and varied stains on the men's bathroom walls? Now I'm gonna have to bring in a Mercury if I wanna have reading material while I drop the kids off at the pool? I suppose you're not making me bring in the WW for toilet paper, so we'll let this slide.

2. I come in with my wife sometimes, and she likes the fruity drinks. She won't stop until there's at least 3 fruit flavors in her hooch. But these drinks are criminally priced next to my friend, whiskey and coke! I know the bartenders are awesome and deserve to paid well for what they do, but are they getting the pineapple juice flown in directly from Hawaii or something? I must admit, however, they are some damn fine pours, so I'll let that go too.

3. And finally, the jukebox.....there are some great tunes on this, and maybe I'll sound a bit old when I say this, but could we at least get some consistency on the noise level? One song blares like a low flying 747, while the next song will sound like it's coming from a dude with a radio locked in a trunk.

Even with these flaws, and though I could get my precious booze a bit cheaper elsewhere, I still love the Hut like a family member. Neighborhood bars are like that.

Plus it's not all hipster and pretentious like a few nearby bars that will (for now) remain nameless.

wtf
Met some buddies for a couple of drinks.. Really nice barstaff. Tall blonde (forgot here name) and smaller dark haired (angela?) lady brought us good drinks were really nice. Tab was like 60 bucks , we tipped a third.. everything was great..
We waited outside for a couple of friends to meet up and are jumped by a buchca metalheads (all regulars) and it gets dumb. Like 7 of them and 3 of us , and I am in a full arm cast. This is not sandy huts fault, but....
The smaller bartender comes out and tries to break everything up and is yelling mostly at us. Wants us to take off and though she is sure the others started it, or is placating us, w/e. She wants us to get out of there? But if we tried to get our stuff off the ground the idiots try to come after us again..
Finally as we are getting in my buddies truck I see here hugging the main guy (lotso hair black jacket) and his girlfriend (short darker skinned long black and blond dreads). She then leads them inside for drinks/victory party or who knows.
I used to come to the sandy hut back in the day and it was great..

steamer clams
they actually DO have steamer clams now, and they also have graffiti on the outside of the building as well as the inside. the slut is like home. day crew as good as night crew. bartenders kick ass and regulars are sweet. (like me) it can be annoyingly hip on weekends though.

the first time i came to the handy slut
my sister wanted to show me the true essence of this popular bar, so we drank some tall boys of pbr and sat in the booth next to the mural closest to the bathroom. i've been to many a dive bar, but this one took the cake. why, you ask? because half way through our beers, my sister delightfully informs me that the couple in the 2nd booth behind me (not directly behind, but the one after) were having sex.

i'm just saying, you can't really have a better first impression at a bar like this unless people are having sex in the booth behind you.

it's over
Jesse Diggs- what happened is that the skeezy owner of this place fired all his good people and replaced them with strippers who don't know how to tend bar. Used to be a great place, but no more.

Nice Play For Taking a Run
I like to play video poker here and take runs at dars. Usually I take a few runs then go win some big money. That's what I do.

uhhhh
What the hell happened to this place? It used to be standing room only on friday and saturday nights and now it's just like twenty dudes at the bar staring at the (all female) bartenders. The slut used to be THE spot for eastsiders to hit on their way to or from downtown. Lately it seems like nothing more than another video poker bar.

Hut "fixtures" very kind to this li'l lady
A bartender at Basement Pub recommended I check out Sandy Hut -- when I arrived it was relatively chill (and therefore not too smokadelic), which I attributed to it being a cold Tuesday night, but the few folks around were friendly. However, the joint really started jumping after 10 and I found myself surrounded by generous self-proclaimed regulars doling out beers and serving up funny-moving-into-salacious stories. I walked into the Hut with 20 bucks and walked out 5 beers later still with 15 and the impression that a willing ear will be rewarded. And, at least in my corner, the most coherent consumers were looking out for those who prohhhhbably shouldn't be behind the wheel and making sure they got home safely. I'm definitely a fan after my first visit. I do wish the late-night menu had just one item on it that wasn't deep-fried, but I understand its functionality for soaking up all that alcohol goin' down.

Oh my God! This is my fave spot for hangin' out, gettin' loaded on cheap swill, lookin' cool and tryin' to get warts where i haven't got 'em yet.

Classy joint.

Perfect Dive
It's true. I'd be there more often, but the smoke is choking.

Personally, I like it.
Okay, so maybe it's not your ritzy, low smoke, waltzin' with champagne, everyone-here-is-rich-and-sassy kinda place, but really, it's quite nice. The staff is friendly and fast. The company usually isn't too bad, if slightly loud and obnoxious at times. The drinks are great and the food is good. For a working man with very little cash, this place is a good break after work. If you're in during the early evenings you'll often see your typical older blue-collars and good 'ol boys hanging around the bar and later the night will filter into the hipsters and the younger crowd. Over all, it's a pretty eclectic crowd and a decent place to catch a bite to eat and have a drink.

oh sandy slut...
i love you. really i do. L.O.V.E. love YOU! your drinks are stronger and cheaper than what i would make at home. your second hand smoke envelopes me in loveliness. your video games make me almost cry and your clientele makes me wanna...oh sandy slut how i love thee.

Comfortable Dive
A Club for the Addicted set, nicely laid-out and full of Talk. A great Jukebox full of mementos that fill the background well. The stiff drinks have led to to me riding quite a few taxis, and one stripper riding me. Find a seat, turn down your standards, and take someone home.

Disease Infested
If you're looking for that one night stand, since you're a loser of a guy who usually can't find a good woman, you'll find that "Mary-Jane Rotten Crotch" here! Since now one else wants her, they'll take whatever they can get...YOU!

Ohhh... and be careful when breathing here- you may catch some air bourne disease!

This Hut is Truly Trash!

Rogue City
Whenever I end-up here, I dont remember for days after. People seem to think its cool to scowl and look bitter, living in a cloud of smoke. I cant tell if this place is an ashtray or a litter box, but it still seems to stay in business somehow.

Handy Slut
Well I imagine if you wear those cool guy glasses, are broke as shit drinking PBR's, and are willing to give a semi hot alternative girl a ride home on your handle bars, you might have a shot. Although chances are she will bail of those bars and run off to her girlfriends house to munch mad box.

I can get laid here!!!?!!
You guys say I can get laid here?! I can't get laid anywhere, but when I feel like giving it a sportsman's effort, I frequent most of the places you mention... but THE SANDY HUT?!! i've never even been to that oddly shaped little building... can't wait to show the ladies of the sandy hut my magic potient.

mmm ...
the sandy hut makes a mean spanish coffee ... they also make a "sandy nudge" but only the bike club fags drink that shit . great cheap breakfast, ample servings . if you can stand the smoke , scurvy drunks ,hipsters , scenesters , bike club , scooter dorks , then you've found a home !

all in all ... it's worth it.

extra bonus , when you buy smokes they pack them for you and then present them to you ready for smoking enjoyment . or maybe that's just for me ?
