The TV show will remain unnamed for legal reasons. Come by, sign a release, and be a star!" While Sand Bar's not naming the show, Patch is guessing it's the one that's been making local headlines since we broke the story in February: Sand Bar is located at 6 Circuit Ave. Extension on the harbor in Oak Bluffs: 508-693-7111.
