Attention, Point Breeze. has arrived and with it bottles of gluggable, fruit forward yet pleasantly tannic Domaine de La Madone Le Perréon Gamay. The vines are old, but the juice is FRESH. Stop by and sip her while she's young. Highly recommend pairing her with 's Duck Confit Toast.

Fourteenth Anniversary Party at American Sardine Bar
Fourteen Years!! Whether you call it The Night of the Sardine, ASB14, or even just The Night Before Thanksgiving - our annual birthday bash is always a blast, and this one is set to be better than ever. To celebrate American Sardine Bar’s 14th trip around the sun we’re throwing an epic block party – special guest DJs, tons of great beer, a special sardine menu from Chef Andrew Douglas, special bubbles to toast with, and special shooters from your favorite ASB bartenders too.
