Fish 'Fry-days' at Cheese Bar

We're in the midst of fish-fry season, and Cheese Bar—the casual, farmhouse-style restaurant on Ingersoll Avenue—is serving up its weekly Friday fish dishes. Platters include beer-battered haddock with house coleslaw and tartar, fish tacos and more. Cheese Bar whimsically says, "this fish is delish." You can test it out yourself from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. today.

While there, try Cheese Bar platters featuring a variety of cheeses, small plates and other offerings. There are 30 craft beers on tap, elegantly served in wine glasses.
