| - MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BAR in the West Valley.
I am pretty picky when it comes to what I consider my 'home bar', but I don't expect too much. When it comes to Johnny Fox's Public House, they have pretty much all that I need in a bar.
FOOD
This restaurant would receive 5 stars in my book, but because I am not a fan of authentic Irish food I can't call this place PERFECT for me, although it is pretty damn close. The desserts are amazing here, and that's what I can often times be found eating. The Jameson ice cream is to die for, and the red velvet cake is heavenly! Everything else is pretty foreign to me, literally. Bangers and mash? Lamb meatball sliders? Mussels and chips? This might all seem rather appealing to your taste buds, however, mine say 'negative ghostrider'! However, the wonderful staff and relaxing ambiance makes up for the non-appetizing entrees.
DRINKS/STAFF
You can find a good drink everywhere, but can you find an equally as awesome bartending staff? I have had a good experience with every person who has ever served me. Particularly my boyfriend and I are fond of the bartender named 'Timmy'. He is attentive, friendly, humorous, and always takes care of us! When you work for the 'industry' (ex: bartender, server, etc) you are always looked after at Johnny Fox's. They offer a 25% off discount for industry folk, which really comes in handy! Getting even a little discount on my tab makes me feel welcome, like family, and who am I kidding.. it makes me wanna leave a better tip; these bartenders will take care of those who take care of them. PLUS, they always remember us!
AMBIANCE
I have heard this bar is slammed and busy on weekend nights, which is great for business and most people, however I prefer my bars quiet and humble. On weekend nights when the restaurant is a lot more lively I have heard they often times have bands, deejays, and groovin' tunes. They also have two bars inside and one outside; the outdoor patio is huge and offers an equally inviting atmosphere. I can often times be found at Johnny Fox's in the deep evening (between the hours of 8pm-10pm). The bar is a little emptied out, but that's just how I like it.
This place is by far my number one pick when it comes to choosing a bar to hang out at.
