Sandy Hut

This place is retro heaven, it is the hut of huts.

We ventured in on a Sunday morning for breakfast, undeterred by the pile of puke on the sidewalk outside the front door. Somebody had a fun Saturday night.

We were greeted by stellar mid-century modern décor that is way nicer than you would expect from the vomit flecked exterior. Tons of booths, tables and bar stools with nary a duct-taped tear. A fun mural on one wall that appears to date back to the opening date in 1923. Wood paneling, neat lighting, celestial theme.

5 craft taps plus Rainier, full bar and a maragarita slushy machine (?!). Reserved, but highly efficient Amazonian bartendresses. The bloody mary was kinda small but well-made. $3 mimosas were on offer, if that is your thing. Delicious breakfast potatoes, the English muffin was griddled which is a nice touch, and the sausage was in patty form – hooray! (a personal favorite).

There are picnic tables outside, one pool table inside and – (SIGH) – video poker machines.

The clientele (at least for brunch) was bordering on hipster. FYI.
