The menu at The Thirsty Fish features a delightful array of options, each crafted to satisfy different palates. I was particularly taken by their Edamame Organic, served hot with a delicate dusting of sea salt that enhances the natural flavor. The Chicken Strips Basket, with its tender, deep-fried breast strips paired with crispy waffle fries, is a comforting classic that guarantees a smile.
For salad lovers, the Blue BLT Salad stands out—crispy bacon, rich blue cheese, and fresh ingredients dance together for a refreshing take on an all-time favorite. To really indulge, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad combines grilled chicken, crunchy bacon, and a zesty mix that makes it hard to resist.
One cannot visit without sampling the Baja Burger, a flavorful garden burger topped with spicy slaw and creamy avocado, adding a nice zest with every bite. And for seafood fans, the Shrimp Sammie is a must-try, generously filled with sautéed shrimp and zingy chipotle mayo, wrapped in fresh lettuce, onion, and tomatoes.

This is a great pub with friendly, attentive bar staff. You like pub grub? They have that. Beer? Yep! Cider? Check. Mixed drinks because you're fancy like that? Heck yes, they will accommodate. Listen, why not just go down there?

Thirsty fish has been a long time favorite in the crown hill neighborhood. I first started going there when it opened & met the owner Louie. He's great and the bartender has been there since it opened too I believe. Lovely people! They have a mug club you can join which is fun. Mugs hanging all over the bar area. The food is good no disappointments there. Great place to watch games. Pool table in the back. Outdoor seating on a nice patio and you can bring your pups. Grab your friends and head there!

Went last night to meet some friends for drinks and pool. First time here. Had an amazing time. Drinks were good and fun atmosphere. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a chill night out for a date night or just to meet friends. The service was fast and friendly.

Friendly service; great rotating taps; a couple of excellent bar appetizers; and a nice-sized deck (if you can tune out the traffic)

Relaxing local joint. The staff was friendly and attentive but did not hover. We were encouraged to enjoy a pint for as long as we liked. On the surface, the menu was pretty standard but the food was high quality and delicious. What they do, they do WELL!

Great service. Nice outdoor area, although there's a lot of road noise - not too bad though. Great burgers and drinks.

I dig this joint. It's not a dive, but it hovers on the edge. There's a jukebox, a pool table. The bar is in the shape of a giant fishhook, and the taps and 'tails are decent. Good mid and top-shelf hard liquor selections. What keeps them hovering above divedom is the food; definitely a notch above greasy-spoon fare, with excellent salads, creative takes on traditional sandwiches, a great brunch menu with scratch made hollandaise on the Benedicts, and maybe the best tortilla soup you will EVER taste, period. I'm not kidding. You take a spoonful, and you can't stop eating until you're scraping the bottom of the bowl, making nomnom sounds. They make it to order, and IT. IS. BOMB! Missing star for chilly interior temperatures, small cleanliness details. Recommended for brunch and light dinner, and as a great off-the-beaten-path place to meet friends.
