Bar Sardine

Cliff notes version: Get the burger Actual review: I decided it would be a good idea to do a burger and beer crawl in the village. So I went with Bar Sardine, Corner Bistro and Minetta Tavern. Bar Sardine was the first stop on the list, having never been but hearing of the infamous Fedora burger. I ordered a beer and the burger obviously :) Although it does not take skill to pour a can of beer in a glass, it was apparent the bartender was very skilled as he was able to concoct a coffee flavored drink for a customer from scratch using his own recipe. Maybe next time I’ll try an actual cocktail. Moving on...The atmosphere is cozy and the decor is classy, for those who care about that stuff. I was there solely for the burger tho. The Fedora burger itself...I would give it a solid 7.8. It’s definitely messy (which I like), was flavored well and most of the toppings went well together. I personally would remove the red onion since it already has fried onions which are always better in my opinion. The flattened bun which I didn’t think I would have an issue was a little lacking, making me miss a normal bun. Otherwise, it’s a burger I would happily eat any day of the week.

Found this place on Yelp and was more than impressed!! Service - staff is very attentive, friendly, and professional Price - not too shabby. Didn’t get any finger food but a glass of red wine $14, a glass of sparkling wine $15, and a bottle of cider $15 Ambience - amazing! Music is upbeat but not too annoying. I absolutely loved the atmosphere here because you can still have quiet conversations and be heard

Very small but busy bar cafe in the West Village. Bartender was great as was the “Fedora burger” which ironically is not available at its namesake next door. The burger has a pleasant texture and was cooked just right. The bartender said the chef recommended medium rare but I requested medium. To my delight it came out just as I had ordered. You can choose various cocktails and some very good wine to wash it down. They also had oysters. Happy atmosphere with a not so cheap tab but hey it’s NYC. I will return.
