A cowboy, an Icelandic cod and a potato walk into a bar. If they walk into London Bridge Pub, only the cowboy is walking out. The batter is thin and crispy, the fish is flaky and soft and the “chips” hold up to heavy dipping. A happy hour from 3-6pm Monday through Friday is a convenient time to for an early dinner and discounted drinks. As if you need an excuse, Trivia Night (Tuesdays at 8pm) is a great way to scratch the fried fish itch, be social and remember your mid-19th-century facts all at once.
