Loved this spot and would highly recommend. The waitress was extremely kind and the food was reasonably priced and very good. Great spot and would highly recommend the olives and almonds as an app and the key lime tart as a dessert. The sardines and homemade chips were also very good!

American Sardine Bar…is just a bar in Point Breeze. The best things about this place is it looks cool from the street and has an attention grabbing name. I’m sorry, I don’t know how else to say it…ASB is in need of a BAR RESCUE! It’s dark inside and smells funny, like a toilet tart. I have yet to see anything on the menu to justify the price and to be perfectly honest after sitting upstairs and observing their food service in action will probably never order food there again.
The sad part is there’s potential. The name alone grabbed my attention. I’d walk the neighborhood thinking “Hmmmmm, sardine bar🤔….sounds different, you’ve got my attention.” Being excited to go after a long day at work was anticlimactic, ESPECIALLY when I look at the menu and decide to walk home and eat leftovers.
This is only my opinion…..which is exactly what my friends told me when I asked them about going. If you want a drink. Great! Also great if you like basic food that cost too much. I don’t mind paying for good food and service (like Insatiable down the street) but when you’re not providing an experience to justify your pricing…..well🤷🏾♂️

Cool local bar with a great tap list and always evolving food menu and friendly staff. When the weather is nice, it's great to sit out in their back patio area.

first time here. it seemed like a dive but they treat it like a restaurant and that was really scary for me.
Great neighborhood dive!
The fries here are delicious and the cocktails are legit.
Great food and serving sizes! We enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back!

Last night I went for the first time! I got a great seat at the end of the bar where I could watch the rest of the restaurant. Very cool and relaxed atmosphere and a lot of people so clearly popular. Felt adventurous and tried the tin fish board and it was very good!!! So much better than I was expecting tin fish to taste, and some great fresh bread and sides that elevated the whole board. Delicious crisp wine and beer paired well!

Went here for a private party. The place was nice and the food was excellent. They have lots of vegan options on the menu and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food.

American Sardine Bar is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood: featuring an eclectic menu of food, draft beer, and craft cocktails. I appreciate the always-thoughtful vegetarian and vegan options available, and their salt & pepper fries with pickle dip are some of my favorite in the city.
It's cozy and never too loud: a great place for date nights, hangs with friends, or just grabbing some drinks and food at the bar while watching the Phils or Birds.

Became violently ill after eating here on Saturday. Threw up all over the sidewalk within a block of the restaurant and the pottery business almost called the ambulance because I couldn’t walk. Been trying to call the restaurant and cannot get through to anyone. Ate the fries and tomato app.
