long live the queen

Fish and Chips with a Pimms and Lemonade – that is what you’d get if you were in London on a nice day with the sun shining after a walk in a park (patios are tougher to find over there, though!).  It’s also what you will get at the Londoner, Dallas’s very own spot of London life which is rumored to have the best fish and chips in Dallas.  The waiters and bartenders add to the authenticity because most of them have accents – someone seriously hold me back.

Review summed up: get your butt to this patio.  It’s great people watching, plenty of seating, dog
friendly, and the shade of two huge trees provides just enough shade to make it pleasant – there is even a 2nd floor patio if you want a private table.  Both patios give a great view of Downtown, too.

The decoration of The Londoner is somewhat intriguing if you can see it; it’s always a little bit dark inside.  The ceiling is adorned with mugs of all shapes, sizes, and themes – try to pick your favorite.  Also, pay special attention to the “Queens of England” piece on the wall of the stairs.

It’s a great place if you want to have a quick drink after work or if you want to grab a drink before heading out since its location is so ideal.  Tuesday’s happy hour is well populated along with Thursday’s and Friday’s.  Weekend nights here are manic – make sure you don’t expect to find a seat or a chance at the dart board.
