Foxhole

I was told by a fellow local that this was a 'local spot'. After all, it is off the beatin' path, no sign out front & only a red light above the door. I felt like it was something out of a movie & was super excited to venture inside. I was expecting this place to be super chill. Well, other than the very frigid temperature inside, chill this place WAS NOT! Everyone there was very pretentious and most of them were clearly tourists. And....$33 for 2 rum and cokes? Ridiculous. No thanks I'll go elsewhere.

You know its a good place when there's JUST a door. No line with promoters trying to sell bottles. No crowd out front.  I followed a friend down an alley off 14th and Alton to Fox's and was immediately greeted by a solid two story venue, with booth seating and a full U bar. Crowd was locals pre-partying for the night and chatty!

So I came on Yelp to write my review, then my eyes wandered onto reading what others had to say.
I'm not sure why the girls complain about the girl:guy ratio. It's to their favor. Which leads me to believe they hate the place because they were unsuccessful in getting at least 1 free drink from the sea of men that occupy Foxhole.

But anyways, I have no complaints. This place is a bar. So the "decor", music, and smoke smell is just what is expected. Not to mention the smell of cigarettes is nothing compared to Teds, or Lost Weekend. It's a bar, get over it. The drink prices I thought were fair for the place itself. Again, if you want dirt cheap you go to places that really do smell like an ashtray.

Any night that leads me to end up in an alley bar, is a good night for me :)
