Local bar within the SF Mall. The only thing that bothers me is the sewage smell they have going on.

Drinks were great. It's my first time here. Michael is…read moreprobably the best doorman I've ever met in my life and he KILLED KARAOKE and crushed the song Lose Control by Teddy Swims. I'm about to ask him to baptize my firstborn daughter because he's brilliant . Love him. Go just for him. Give him a raise. Give him all the love. All the money. He is the heart of Foxfire.

In a town ripe with dive bars, The Foxfire Room is one of the ripest. Dark and old, with wood…read morepaneling and red leather banquettes in remarkably good condition considering their age and the occasionally rough clientele, it's the perfect place to get lost for a few hours. Their long hours (early morning until 2am) mean there are a couple of shifts of staff per day, but I most often find Jodie behind the bar, and she's one of the nicest bartenders in town. Lighthearted and well-spoken, she can chat with anyone about almost anything, and she manages the crowd well. She's a good egg who's seen it all, but seems to treat every day like it's possible to get through without any problems. There's no food for sale here, but they're happy to have you bring or order in anything you like, and you'll often see people at the bar eating meals from the many local restaurants. There are 8 TV's mounted around the place (plenty for its size), so you can watch a game if you like, and the digital jukebox is easy to manage from an app on your phone. Plus, they've got solid, reliable WiFi, in case you're sick of sitting in Starbucks. Drinks are modestly priced and generously poured, and there's ample parking, both in the lot out back and on the un-metered street out front. This may not be the right place for a marriage proposal, but it's definitely the right place to hang out and cool off in the dog days of summer.

This is no chain restaurant (yay!). We didn't know about this place until last week, so we feel…read morekind of stupid because it's been here since 2018. It looks a little out of place, which is part of its charm. When we walked in we were acknowledged immediately and warmly. The food is fresh- (my fish and chips fish was firm and moist, not mushy or falling apart, and the oil they used tasted and looked new), the burger my hubby had was moist, cohesive, and savory. Our fries tasted like they had cut the potatoes very recently, and again, the oil was fresh. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The bartenders know what they are doing, too. I wanted a drink i hadn't had before, and once I told "Wes" ( our wonderful server) what I like in drinks, he steered me toward a Tajin rimmed Jamaica Margarita (yummy). Wes was a great server- he anticipated everything, came back to check on us in a timely fashion, and was very knowledgeable. It's just a nice comfortable grown up place to hang out in. Fortunately or unfortunately it's a 21 or over pub. We went during off hours, but I saw a waitlist feature on their site, so you should check it before you go.

This place used to be one of my favorites when I lived in the SFV. Had a nice quality to the…read moreburgers but I recently went in 2026 and was quite underwhelmed. The bbq burger meat tasted like a frozen patty at best and I unfortunately ordered an extra patty and just wasn't happy. Fries were ok. This was a takeout order so I will give them grace that maybe a fresher burger would have been better tasting but regardless, I didn't think the quality of meat was we out of this world. Also did not engage with the worker outside of signing the receipt and grabbing my order. They were cool tho. Ambiance is typical gastropub environment. Dark and cold but not knocking it because of that. Just not my scene.
