A great local option. Large selection beers and sardine inspired menu. The burgers/handhelds come recommended.

I live near by and love so many things about this bar! The fries!!! The ranch!!! The vibes!!!BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD take that banh mi off the menu. Its horrid. I love that you always have a vegan option but this one is inedible. I'm not sure what started the trend of everyone making a vegan banh mi but I'll be glad when its over. Thank you.

I thought the food was delicious— especially for bar food. Went in for a little lunch and got a great caesar salad and some wings. Both were delicious. Vibes in there were great too. Classic American bar vibes.

My partner and I came here for dinner Saturday night, first time for both of us. I don't usually leave reviews but we loved everything about our experience here. We ate outside (it was a warmer night plus they had heat lamps). The food and cocktails were delicious and unique. The main reason I am leaving this review is because of our server. I wish I remembered her name. She provided stellar service (I am a server myself), she was attentive and kind and just made the experience all the more memorable and pleasant. We thanked her profusely at the end of our meal, but I wanted to properly document how much we appreciate the excellent service!

Honestly, so incredibly good. The Tinned Sardine Board was TO DIE FOR. Absolutely fantastic. And the cocktails?? SIGN ME UP. I got the Pear & Ginger Gin and Tonic which was amazing and I also got the Mad for Saffron cocktail which was absolutely fabulous. Their French fries are also delicious and the pickle dip?? SO GOOD. If you are on the fence about trying this place, do it! You will not regret going here. It is DELICIOUS

Best bar in Philadelphia! Great staff and great atmosphere. The building is so cool and the garden is perfect. Not as many sardines as you expect but still a great place. We had a lovely afternoon/eve here and would defo recommend. If this was my local I’d never leave.

I’ve been to the American Sardine Bar many times and I am shocked I didn’t review yet?I became a fan of Sardines after a recent trip to Portugal! Now I can’t get enough of sardines…fried, grilled or sautéed!This bar always has a great beer tap list and can selection!The staff are always friendly and provide great recommendations!
