#2 - FSH Bucket List of Best Bars from Philly Mag, American Sardine Bar


I admit it. I was skeptical when I heard sardine. It didn’t help to see that the menu was full of sardine-esque items.  Sardine soups and sandwiches with pickle dressing.  Not my food vibe.

What a great surprise that the food items we chose (non Sardine, thank you very much) were fabulous.  Chicken wings, egg sandwiches, braised beef, and biscuit with apple and cream.  Not something we get everyday, but a nice departure.

Point Breeze is a neighborhood in transition. The pull of decay and the push of progress. Right now it seems to be a draw.  Abandoned lots and vibrant hope comingled.  One reviewer of the neighborhood advised that we should keep on driving.

But the skyline was beautiful in the background. 

Ratings: 

Vibe:  Great energy.
Server:  Adorable and kind.
Drinks:  Fantastic.  Unusual choices made us drink outside the box.
Food : A-. 
Friendship:  Thankfully Jeanne and Todd got there early and grabbed a booth.  But, if you’re packed in like sardines, I’m glad FSH are my fellow tin mates. 


48 to go!
