I think I am a fan of Fox and Hound because I know when to go for the most enjoyable experience: Tuesday afternoons. Why? For a few reasons: 1.) Because on Tuesdays all drafts are only $2 a pint which is a great deal considering their draft selection. 2.) Because they have an afternoon lunch menu with some good specials. 3.) In the afternoon they are not usually very busy and therefore you won't have to wait with an empty glass.
Now that doesn't mean that I don't go at other times. Tuesday nights the place gets packed, mostly because of the $2 drafts. I've learned to order 2 beers at a time because the wait, whether you are at the bar or a table with waiter service, can be very long for refills. The service has been some of the best....and some of the worst. And I really can't pin down what the cause of bad service is because it varies from day to day and server to server. But overall I enjoy the food (I've often dreamed of their Newcastle beer battered chicken tenders) and their beer selection is always impressive.
I'll continue to frequent Fox and Hound and recommended it as a good meeting spot (usually on a Tuesday) because overall it continues to be a good deal.
