| - Despite other reviewers, I am a fan.
It was about time this Fox got a new name and face. It's been a little while now, but I figured it's time for me to chime in.
Much of the same can still be said: great food and drink selection, friendly service.
Still the same great, hands-on owners and management making sure their guests have a good experience (and like most places, regulars are always very well looked after.. and this establishment has a lot of them). Still mostly the same staff, with a few new faces as well. Still houses the same great, spacious facilities - three amazing patios, including a non-smoking patio and a roof-top patio (worth the 4 stars alone)! A cozy bar and booths add to the intimate atmosphere, as does a pool table in the back and TVs EVERYWHERE (including a massive floor-to-ceiling projection screen in the main room). The establishment itself underwent an impressively quick renovation, that definitely did the trick - visually more of a restaurant feel than a pub, but they're still home to Tuesday Trivia Nights and Thursday Karaoke, as well as daily food & drink specials to boot!
Prices have gone up a bit, as expected. The menu is more concise and more interesting - having tried most of the menu now, I have yet to be disappointed, and have found a few new favourites. The bar has been bolstered with many new beers on tap, including some craft brews.
Of all the pubs in the neighbourhood, this is still my go-to for good reason.
