Essay question: Why should I drink here? The quintessential Sanford dive bar, Little Fish Huge Pond loads up on board games, art, crazy lampshades and craft beer knowledge. Neighborhood brew geeks will fawn over Little Fish’s half-pour availability, while their better-adjusted friends will enjoy the delightful mishmash of kitsch couture and electronic dartboards; shy people will be drawn out of their shells at LFHP’s frequent themed parties.
