WHERE TO DINE
Cha-Bones
AMERICAN Move over Scottsdale, Lake Havasu City is gettin' hip
and crowdin' your turf. Well, sort of. This very stylish little restaurant, a few blocks north
of the London Bridge, could hold its own in the big city, at least as far as the decor goes.
The menu, on the other hand, sticks to familiar mesquite-grilled steaks, barbecued ribs,
build-your-own burgers, and a few designer pizzas. Granted, the menu doesn't break any
new ground, but the setting is unlike anything else in town.
112 London Bridge Rd.
&
928/854-5554.

courses $7-$16 lunch, $11-$38 dinner. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Oct-Apr Sun-Thurs 11am-9pm, Fri-Sat

Javelina Cantina
MEXICAN Located at the foot of the London Bridge on the
island side, this large, modern Mexican restaurant is affiliated with Shugrue's on the other
side of the street. As at Shugrue's, there is a great view of the bridge. In this case, it is
from a large patio area that is kept heated during the cooler winter months. The bar has
an excellent selection of tequilas, and margaritas are a specialty here. Accompany your
libations with tortilla soup, fish tacos, or a salad made with blackened scallops, papaya,
pecans, and bleu cheese.
