Friday Fish Fry Joy at Horse & Plow (The American Club)

The pub hums with energy as platters of fried fish parade from the kitchen like clockwork.
Servers move with purpose, balancing hot plates, tartar sauces, and lemon wedges.
You feel the Friday rhythm the moment you step in—warm, lively, and welcoming.
It’s the kind of night that becomes a ritual after just one visit.

Crispy lake perch, golden haddock, pure bliss

Lake perch lands with a delicate crunch and a sweet, clean finish.
Haddock arrives flaky and juicy under a light, shattering crust.
A squeeze of lemon and house tartar brighten every bite.
The plate is simple, the flavors honest, and the satisfaction immediate.

Cozy pub vibes at The American Club iconic

Wood, brass, and a timeless tavern glow set the scene.
It’s classic without feeling stuffy, and relaxed without cutting corners.
Screens show the game, but the talk at your table steals the show.
The team greets regulars by name and makes first-timers feel like regulars.

Pair with craft beers and classic Old Fashioneds

Raise a pint of Wisconsin craft beer, from malty ambers to bright lagers.
Local favorites often find their way onto the tap list and into your glass.
Or go full Friday tradition with a brandy Old Fashioned, sweet or sour.
Cherry, orange, and a few ice cubes—sips that pair perfectly with crispy fish.

Family-friendly portions that wow every table

Plates are generous enough to share, yet tempting enough to keep.
Kids lean in for fries while grown-ups pass the rye bread and slaw.
Potato pancakes with applesauce add a nostalgic touch.
Everyone leaves full, and somehow, already planning next week.

Catch it fresh: from fryer to your plate

You can hear the sizzle and feel the heat when the plate arrives.
The crust stays crisp to the last bite, still warm and lively.
No sogginess, no waiting under lights—just swift, careful timing.
It tastes like the kitchen is cooking just for you.

Reserve early—Friday seats fill up incredibly fast

Call ahead or book online, because Fridays go quick.
Early evening slots disappear first, and late-night diners keep the vibe going.
If you walk in, the bar is a pleasant place to wait with a drink.
Pro tip: aim for an early table, and linger happily over dessert.

A beloved tradition with music, laughs, cheer

Tables clink, friends catch up, and new stories take shape.
Some Fridays bring live tunes that lift the whole room.
Birthdays, reunions, and team wins all feel at home here.
It’s the weekly reset you actually look forward to.

Save room: malted shakes and sweet finishes

Malted shakes bring playful, throwback charm when available.
Think sundaes, seasonal pies, and rich chocolate creations.
Coffee or an after-dinner cordial rounds it out with ease.
Leave a fork clean, and your Friday even cleaner.
