Another great little spot from the HCH group and perfect on a summer afternoon to sip white wine, eat oysters and watch the world go by on a bustling west village corner!
I've been here only once a few weeks ago, but it's quickly crept to the top of my list of favorite bars in the West Village. We were there nice and early on a weeknight, so managed to grab a spot at the bar (I've heard it get's busy later, so better to get in early!). The interiors are perfect, a lot of attention has been paid to making the space look great, but it's nowhere near as pretentious as a lot of the other bars nearby, making it a comfortable place to be. We had cocktails and two different types of oysters (some from east coast, others from west), and I can't fault anything. The negronis were perfectly balanced, and the oysters were fresh and had an extensive array of sauces and toppings to mix-and-match with. Apparently the burgers are incredible, so I'm definitely planning another visit already.
Bar Sardine is worth visiting for the Fedora Burger alone. Everything about it is perfect: smoked cheddar, crispy shoestring fries, BBQ mayo, cucumbers. It's crunchy and juicy and spicy and heavenly. Aside from the burger, Bar Sardine is also a great place to go for some cocktails that are pricey-but-not-too-pricey. If cocktails aren't your thing, they have a very affordable wine list that's perfect to split with a friend over a plate of oysters and some deviled eggs... while you wait for your Fedora Burgers. Seriously, order the burger and split a side of herbed french fries or you'll seriously regret it forever.
