Check out the vendors, watch some buskers, enjoy the food trucks, and grab some fun drinks while you’re here!

❤️💙 One more Sandbar grad! ❤️💙

Congrats to Donivan!

Donivan started working at the door at Sandbar when he first came to KU as a freshman, and you may not know that he also helped wrangle the Bar Band members this past year! (Did you know that Bar Band started right here 30 some years ago?!)

Donivan graduated with degrees in political science and journalism, and he's headed to Drake University's law school in the fall.

Fun fact: Donivan's parents met at the Sandbar while attending KU in the 90's (are you noticing a pattern here?)! His dad Jeff was in law school and his mom Michele was majoring in music education. They spent many fun nights here!

Congrats Donivan!

❤️💙 Another Sandbar graduate! ❤️💙

Congrats to Eli!

Eli started working the door at Sandbar when he came to KU, and now he's graduating with a degree in business.

Fun fact: Eli's parents, Brit & Megan, worked here back in the 90's. Would you believe that back then, we only had one bartender on the late shift on Friday and Saturday nights?!

Brit & Megan were the first duo to work the late shift on Saturday nights, and they met and fell in love behind the bar! We love it when a second generation follows in their parents' footsteps.

❤️💙 Happy KU Graduation Weekend! ❤️💙We have some very special Sandbar graduates to shout out... first up, Shelton! This ...

❤️💙 Happy KU Graduation Weekend! ❤️💙

We have some very special Sandbar graduates to shout out... first up, Shelton!

This beautiful blonde southern belle came to us from Alabama, but she has plenty of ties to Kansas. Fun fact: her dad and Dave worked at The Hawk together waaaaaay back in the 90's! Kids, pay attention-- connections matter, and your parents can help!

Shelton is an opera singer ( 😳 maybe the first opera singer we've had on staff?) and graduating with a master's degree in music! But don't worry, we aren't losing her- she's sticking around to work on her PhD and will still be slinging drinks behind the bar for the next few years, and we're so happy about that!

Congrats, Shelton, we love you! And your parents are pretty cool, too! 😉
