After a few hours of drinking, we somehow stumbled into this place because apparently it was the spot for late-night food. We grabbed seats at the bar and were greeted by a very goth-looking bartender who immediately reminded me of someone from high school. Honestly, I looked at him and felt like I had time-traveled back -- I'm pretty sure we were even the same age. We ordered drinks, asked for menus, and went full bar-food mode: chicken tenders, tater tots, and I'm almost positive jalapeño poppers. When I think of bar food, I picture classic fried chicken tenders -- these weren't breaded and didn't even look fried, which honestly wasn't a bad thing. They were still good. The only slightly funny moment was when I asked for ketchup and felt mildly judged for it. I mean... what's wrong with ketchup? Instead, I was handed BBQ sauce and hot sauce. At that point in the night, I truly did not care. Most of my time there was actually spent completely locked in on Sailor Moon playing on the TV. I haven't watched Sailor Moon since high school, so the whole vibe felt like I was transported back to my preteen years. Between the goth bartender and the anime nostalgia, it was a full throwback experience. Overall, no real complaints. It's your typical grungy bar -- exactly what you want during a bar-hopping night. Not a bad spot to stop in for drinks and late-night bites. read more

Been going to Sly Fox since they opened and it's become my favorite spot in downtown orlando. Great music, drink deals and people. My go to spot to meet up with friends and end up gaining more. They are now doing speciality event nights like emo social, various bands playing, or other events if you're into any metal, emo, indie music. Grunge dive bar that's a go to for the bar hopping in downtown read more

I could go on a out this place but it's easier to just say it's a great dive bar. The AC and the beer are cold. Not a huge selection of craft beers but they do have several. The staff both times I visited was super cool and I could see me being a regular here if I lived in the area. There is a cool little area out front facing the road if you are a smoker. Good for people watching read more

ORLANDO, FL: Sly Fox Pub is "Orlando's Dive Bar"and we loved hanging out here. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside and it is quite a spacious spot to take in all the photos and graffiti of past fun times. There is a full bar, nice beer selection, and you can even play beer pong. Check out the kiosk to order food from The Vegan Hot Dog Cart and the food is amazing! It is Brie's Mom's dream come true to have a vegan hot dog, as they are hard to find. We recommend visiting during the day before it gets too crowded at the nightlife scene. We visited again during the evening and the place was jammed! We loved seeing the dachshund sitting at the bar with his owner. :) read more

This dive bar is absolutely everything. Super safe and exceptional drinks there even our favorite bartender Christian he'll literally make you a bomb drink- he's so talented as in bartender wise. This bar has phenomenal drinks and music definitely recommend. 10/10 read more

Downtown only has a couple options and unfortunately This place literally smells little dirty feet

Great place to listen to alternative music and eat alternative food, like vegan dogs! Skate videos and a cute dood named Jimmy works behind the bar in morning and keeps punk music alive. Try the burger! read more

One of the cleaner dive bars I've been to. There are still sticky spots here and there. No food just drinks. A digital dart board awaits higher functioning guests and beer pong table for the more subdued. No parking on Orange, which was weird. The entire block was blocked off. Could've been a one off. I didn't investigate. Sly Fox is a place for good times. But it also looks like a place where you can buy drugs. Don't bring the kids, unless you're a progressive parent. But even then, they probably won't be allowed in. Cuz they're kids... read more

Very cool dive bar in Orlando. Had to try a vegan hotdog for the first time and I will say, Christian's recommendation of the Cincinnati dog was delicious. If you're looking for a cool comfortable vibe, a drink/beer and some yummy bar food - you've come to the right place! read more

BEN IS ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!! He's such a great bartender. He always keeps his cool and is phenomenal with customer service in a dive bar environment. I visit here frequently and always see the same display of incredible service from him. The Emo nights speak to my high school heart and the music is always such a pull for me too. Love this place! read more

What a great bar, moved to town a few months back walked in my first weekend and won't stop coming back. Caylee & Ben bartenders are fantastic they are attentive and make certain you are having a good time. By accident met the NEW owners Tim & Hectot they have ve great vision for the place. They certainly off to a good start. read more

Sketchy area, staff was yelling and cursing at people outside. Not a vibe. I ordered from the vegan hot dog cart, that's located inside here. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Fire!!! Fire!!! Flame! Lit! Prices 10/10. Good music, prices and vibes. OG Orlando prices

ok, let me say that it takes so much for me to write a bad review, but this has been bothering me for days. Thursday night (9/5/24), my husband and I attended a concert across the street from this bar. We had been down in that area last winter and were so happy to find a vegan hot dog place. The service was great and we were able to chill with some drinks while we ate our vegan grub before driving an hour home. While we were down for the show on Thursday, we decided to share something small before the show. The day shift bartender was great. We went to the concert and our kids called asking if we would get them some of the vegan dogs to go. After the show we went back and ordered the food from the kiosk and had some drinks while we waited. we sat off to the side and didn't bother anyone. I had a couple of friendly patrons chat with me and everything seemed to be going great. We pick up our food, none of it was correct, but we just ate it anyway because it wasn't far off and we don't like complaining. I asked a bartender that wasn't serving us until then if i could maybe get some ketchup for the fries i was eating and he acted so pissed that i even asked him. I think wow, that was weird , but blew it off. I want to make sure its known that by this point we had already tipped at least $60 because we are both bartenders and feel like no matter how much the tab is, you pay for your time in the seat at the bar. For whatever reason this one bartender keeps just looking pissed we are there. We decide it's probably best to get on home anyway. We take our to go food and decide to go potty since its an hour drive home on the turnpike. We know that the door doesn't lock for the bathroom so everyone goes in pairs so someone can hold the door. We waited behind 3 groups that went in together and came out together. We go in and I hold the door while my husband uses it. As soon as I start going someone starts banging on the door and yelling at us to open the door. Saying you've been in there for 3 minutes(as if there is a time limit). My husband is saying my wife is in here going pee bro. What's your deal. As soon as i pulled my pants up this guy is screaming at us to get the f**k out now. We were like, we were leaving anyway, but wtf? Maybe that bartender is doing too many speed balls before his shift, i really don't know why he's so pissed off. It really sucks because we literally didn't do anything. We weren't ever kissing or anything. There is a bartender with the flower of life tattooed on his arm. I wish I knew his name, he is a treasure. This place is lucky to have him. Too bad he wasn't around when the other guy tried to come in the bathroom while my pants were down peeing. P.S. like we would want to F**k in your disgusting ass bathroom, get real! read more

My mom has been going there for about a year and she worked there for about a year to so Kaylee the bartender Kaylee is my mother so I've looked over the reviews and everybody loves her so yeah keep on giving those good reviews read more

Sly Fox - Me and my mom when I was a baby she has been a bartender for so long not a sly Fox but she has been a bartender a a lot of places - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

If you're missing Bar BQ Bar as much as I am, get to Sly Fox. It's my go-to spot. Friendly staff, strong drinks, and great music. There are plenty of picnic-like tables for all the friends to hang and some smaller tables outside if you like to people-watch, like me. There's a photo booth to capture your youth and a graffiti wall to sign your name and make your mark. Collectible beer cans line the wall and inspire you to keep drinking. Tuesdays are $2 wells and Thursdays ladies drinks are half-price! read more

This place is awesome!!! Cayle was super helpful and very nice. We walked around several places till finally someone greeted us to come in. I highly would recommend coming to Sly Fox! They have really good fried pickles read more

Not a mask or glove in sight. The bouncers, patrons, nor bartenders seemed to realize we're in the middle of a pandemic. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but between the MAGA bouncer (mentioned in a previous review) and this? Never going back. I went a few doors down to The Lodge (I think that's what it's called) and it was a completely different atmosphere: plexiglass between bartenders and us, masks, hand sanitizer, spacing between customers, etc. read more

Atmosphere is OK, music is alright. Bartenders are possibly roid-raging and one MAY try to fight you on the sidewalk. That is AFTER tipping him $2 for a single pint, by the way. Good news is that they're pussies who back down pretty damn quickly. Still, best to skip this place. Also: very poor cell signal. read more

Sly is the homies place :) I always feel welcomed and have so many good memories here. Drinks are cheap, music is awesome and the photo booth is always super fun! read more

Sly fox is my favorite bar in downtown Orlando, they always have the best music and the best/fastest dive bar in downtown Orlando. Our bartender, Gianna was so sweet and so accommodating that we will be back! read more

Giving 3 stars because the people that go here. It used to be such a cool spot but the people there now are so rude and bratty. The workers are great but just be wary of the customers. They obviously have a complex in there read more

Came into town for work and this bar hits all the marks for being a classic dive bar with all the alternative music feels ! Nothing I love more than a grungy bar with funny staff and friendly customers. Would recommend dropping in on there emo night if that's your thing read more

What a sweet place! I pop in occasionally with some business friends to do something different from the normal Orlando bars, I've never had a bad time and it's always fun. Bartenders are all attentive and have always offered great service. The food is awesome when you're smashed and needing that greasy fix to help with the hangover you're inevitably going to have. Would recommend if you're looking for something different! read more

This bar is the tits. Caylee is amazing. For all you people with the bad reviews over a HAT go change your tampon. The bar is amazing and can't wait to make it a regular place! read more

Sly Fox is a great little bar in the heart of downtown. The staff is amazing and we met the new owner. He was very pleasant and made us feel welcome. I love that they have dartboards. We will be back and we highly recommend anyone visiting the downtown bar scene to give it a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

Favorite bar downtown! the bartenders are amazing, Ben, Jason, Christina, they always make you feel like the best customers!! The owners are also great, I have never had a terrible time here. BEST BAR IN DOWNTOWN! Woohoo!' read more

Sly Fox - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

bar had a nice ambience at first when i was spending money the male bartender named jim or john or something was nice enough. he sold me a mixed drink that had flat coke and was way too sweet, i went back to the bar and kindly asked to get a double shot instead and pay the difference because the drink was not to my standards and he flat out says no and proceeds to go back and forth with me saying i don't have to drink the nasty drink but i can't replace it and will have to buy a 20 dollar double shot if i wasn't happy with the drink. all this after i left him a nice tip for the first round f drinks i ordered. will not be returning and i will be warning anyone who is coming here and is not caucasian will be treated like a second class citizen. read more

Great drinks and music, accompanied by the best bartenders in town also fucking darts and if you don't play darts you should

One of my go to bars downtown to start the night for the past couple years. Their feel is a bit more dive-ish and very laid back, it's located across the street from ibar. They have a small amount of seating out front then plenty of seating around the bar and tables pushed against the walls to make room for a dance floor. They play a range of music here and I always have a great time. The beer and drinks are affordable prices especially being a place downtown. However I don't recommend you getting a draft beer instead opt for a can/bottle the draft beers tend to be flat which is the only downfall besides semi-slow service when it starts to pick up. They also have a cute photo booth off to the side that you can take pictures in and are always fun to do with friends. I'll definitely continue to come here with friends. read more

Just walked out of Lizzie's with 2 other friends to meet up with a friend at this POS just 10 feet away. The bartender allowed my friend to buy a bucket of beers at 1:57am, knowing that his 3 friends were about to be there. We got there at 1:59am and the clock struck 2am as we were about to walk in, and the doorman said "you guys can't come in, it's 2am," and locked the door in front of us. I said "Excuse me, my friend is in there with 5 beers that he just ordered, and we're right here. The beers are already ordered. Can we just meet with our friend to drink the beers he just paid for?" The doorman replied in such a rude and curt way: "LISTEN. IT'S 2AM. THE DOORS ARE SHUT, AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING IN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT??" Shocked, I said "I just asked politely.." and he rudely stated "AND I'M TELLING YOU, *politely* IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Have a good night." And shut the door. My buddy paid $30 for the drinks, drank partially of one, and left to meet with us outside and leave. The doorman wore black-rimmed glasses, had a scruffy unshaven beard, with graying black hair, possibly 34-40 years old. What's appalling is that the bartender was willing to sell my friend a bucket of beer, knowing the time and knowing that friends were on their way at 2 minutes until 2, and not allow us in. read more

Have to say I love Sly Fox. My roommate and I have been coming here for almost a year now and love the atmosphere, prices and service. Sunday and Tuesday's they have $2 wells and other great deals daily. Also they have ACE pineapple cider on tap which I love! This is usually my first stop downtown and always have a positive attitude from the bartenders. Extra benefit they have free pizza Sunday nights. Definitely will be back and would recommend! read more

Wow Sly Fox is amazing. An EDM festival in Orlando that a bunch of people were supposed to attend was cancelled. Sly Fox played amazing dubstep music the entire night for all of us who weren't able to attend the festival. They were so kind to all of us even though it wasn't the normal music they played. I will always go back when I'm in Orlando since they were there for us that night !!! edm loves u sly fox lol read more

I went with some friends and was sitting at a table for an hour or so when a group of people claiming to be friends with the owner told me (out of nowhere ) to "leave if I didn't want any problems" I didn't understand why I was being told that so I told him that if he had a problem with me we can go outside because I'm not gonna move form the table I've been sitting form way before they got there. After that happens they knocked our drinks form the table started eating our food got a chair shoved towards me and sucker punched. After all that happened we where the ones requested to leave. In conclusion we got harassed to leave and the people working there decided to take the " owners friend " side. read more

Didn't have any intention of going here, but walked in and the hip hop was calling my name! A fun, dark little bar that seemed to have such a good mix of crowds! Drinks were cheap and generous! Bartenders were all friendly and laid back. Decorated with vintage license plates and beer cans. Full bar, open space of you wanted to dance a little, sit at a few tables, etc. we were just going to stay for a drink but ended up closing the place down. They also have a photo booth! read more

For a place where you can always encounter drink specials and listen to some chill music all while having a good timme catching up with friends - Sly Fox is the place to be at. The environment is very welcoming as the entire staff is extremely friendly and they give off nothing but positive vibes. I never have to wait for a bartender to notice me so I can order a drink which is a plus because a long wait time can be a turn off in my opinion. For a picture in the photobooth it's simply $5 (cash, card, and/or Applepay) and it makes for a great memory (or in my cse - a room decoration lol). Any time I'm in the downtown Orlando area I make sure to stop by Sly Fox for a drink or two and sometimes I even spend a good 1-2 hours in there just hanging out with friends. Make sure to stop by if you've never been and make this your go-to spot! read more

Strong drinks. Good music. Overall ~cool~ atmosphere. Plus, they have a photo booth so do you really need to go anywhere else while you're downtown? read more

Walked into the bar and immediately ordered two drinks for friend and I. Asked if they had drink specials and older lady with pink hair said "yeah that's why it's written really big on the outside sign" and rolls her eyes. Terrible customer service and won't be back strictly based on her attitude. Thanks but no thanks. read more

They play a lot of early 2000s pop punk music, strong drinks, and always a super clean bathroom.

Their 'bouncer' threw a balled up piece of trash at me. I didn't even get a drink there!!! I've lived in Orlando for years and this has never never never ever happened to me. Very weird situation but left with a very awful taste in my mouth about this place. read more
