ASB has long been a favorite spot for me and my now husband. Since we got to know each other over their fries, we knew ASB was the perfect place to hold a casual rehearsal dinner for our wedding last month. We rented out their space upstairs and were so impressed by Bonnie and the rest of the ASB staff. From their clear and excellent communication before the dinner to the amazing food and bar service, custom drink tickets, and super reasonable prices, the evening was absolutely perfect. We were able to use their projector screen to play a slideshow of pictures of us, utilized their microphone for speeches, and easily connected to their speaker system to play our playlist. Thank you ASB for everything you did for us and for being a consistently amazing presence in our neighborhood!

We had a really nice meal on the patio — we shared the crab toast & the amazing roast pork roll on a fabulous Liscio's seeded roll. We'd also ordered the daikon Caesar, which somehow got lost on the way. No biggie, took it home instead. Service was super-friendly. Def want to come back to try some of the more interesting cocktails on the board :-)

This is such a cozy spot with great food and vibes! The wings, sauces and fries were so good! Tasty and reasonable portions for the prices. The cocktails were also good and paired well with the food. My friends went on a Wednesday evening and it was comfortable with the warm dim lights and a pleasant crowd (not to noisy or anything). The customer service was fantastic as we were seated quickly and didn't wait long for our food. Erin was our waitress and she was so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable, especially with helping my friend navigate the menu with his dietary restrictions. Overall, this feels like your local cozy neighborhood bar and I'd definitely come back! The only thing I can't speak to is sardines which is their special (I don't eat seafood haha) but that's probably good too!

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.
