    The Fox is a solid bar with lots of great food options. There are not many bars that I would walk into and order a salad. It was delicious and fresh. The shrimp were cooked really well and full of flavor. The bartender was servicing the entire restaurant at the time and he was doing a great job. The vibe is is nice- it's not up scale but it's not divey. It's a great spot for an after work happy hour or casual date

    This is a review for a Friday afterwork. I decided to try this place because I hadn't tried it yet and they had happy hour. I arrived first and sat at the bar. James, the bartender was nice and knowledgeable. I ordered a happy hour mule, but something seemed off with the drink. I asked him what type of ginger beer was in the mule? It was fever tree, which is one that I drink regularly. I asked to see the well vodka and was informed it was new, and i was like I never saw that brand before. I tried a rum and coke next, and that didn't taste much better. I decided to leave the happy hour mixed drinks alone and get a glass of wine. You can't go wrong with wine. I ordered the Montepulciano, and it was delicious. My friends and I moved to one of the high-top tables towards the back of the restaurant. We decided to try some of the happy hour bites. The beef sliders were good, I didn't really enjoy the loaded tater tots or the truffle fries. I would go back to the venue and try some other food options. It is a great venue to watch sports.

    Rainy day, but we were still protected outside!

    My friend was visiting out of the country and only had one day left before she went back - a freaking rainy Sunday. She really wanted to do brunch with me, and hash browns, which I learned are a super American thing. The Fox had been on my list, and I could have SWORN one of their online menus had hash browns, so we trudged over there and opted to sit outside, covered by the awnings in a strategic spot where the rain couldn't touch us no matter what. THEN discovered the brunch menu did not have hash browns. That's fine. They DID have home fries. I always forget that she's a vegetarian, but they had a vegetarian omelet for her, and I got the shrimp and chorizo omelet. At $16-$18, these are some expensive omelets. While good, was it $18 good? 1 star gets knocked for the exorbitant pricing. We also opted for the $20 bottomless brunch mimosa thing, though we each had to get it separately (you can't share; and while it's a GOOD price for bottomless, we wanted to recoup those damn omelet prices lol). The drinks were tasty though! Since it was a rainy, gloomy Saturday, there was no wait and plenty of seating, which we wanted, and staff was down to earth and attentive, especially with the bottomless drinks. It was a very cool vibe and since this place is in my neighborhood, I'll have to come back, especially to try the pigs n a blanket!

    We had a good time at the Fox restaurant. It's a male host and staff unil later. I like that the bare very attentive to your needs while sitting in their establishment. Music good, service great and food needs a little seasoning but good. We will definitely be back. The atmosphere is good. Happy Hour is ok... needs more flavors for the margarita's. Happy hour wings are fresh, fries a little greasy but that's what you need when you drink.....Overall, The Foxwill have me foxtrottin again and again.

    Cool interior (and exterior - love the mural!) friendly staff, and overall welcoming neighborhood vibe. Our fries tasted like the oil was a little old, but that didn't spoil a great afternoon.

    Can't wait for the Fox to open! Fox

    Another wonderful addition to Harlem's restaurant row aka Frederick Douglas Blvd Each of Serena Bass' restaurants are wonderful in the menu (food and drinks) as well as ambience and atmosphere which is carefully cultivated and The Fox is no different- this type the wonderful food and drinks create a nice chill sports bar feel - but one you could bring the whole family to! * Highly recommend the vegetarian chili w tumeric rice + Cavatappi and Cauliflower Gratin - YUM!! + blissful cocktails made w care (and fresh mint!)

    I often find myself looking for nice after work Harlem spots. One of my good friends suggested this sports bar so I decided to check it. I was pleasantly surprised.The Fox has a pleasant vibe and is very spacious with 8 large screen TV's broadcasting different sports networks.The young ladies who assisted me were very friendly and the music was on point.They just played one of my favorite Kanye West songs(I wonder) I came on a Friday about 6pm(happy hour 4-7)and really enjoyed the ambiance. I definitely will be returning and recommend Fox for a nice date, friends night out, or alone to just chill as I did.

    Cool low key hangout spot in Harlem with a fair amount of outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating and TV's if you're into watching sports. They have lots of sports pictures on the wall and a food all table in the back. I love the energy here! I came on a Sunday evening it was a good vibrant crowd and 2000's hip hop playing. Music was kind of loud, but I could still hear my friend speak. The service here was quick and friendly. I ordered the Vegetarian Chili which came with Mushroom, Eggplant, Onions, Cannellini and Garbanzo Beans, Tomato, Ancho Chili Pepper, Cumin, and Cinnamon. It was a large portion and tasty especially for a carnivore. The dish came with nacho chips a decoration. All and all a solid experience and I'd come back again.

The Vibe Cozy, comfortable, and full of surprises. Some nights are mellow and chill, perfect for catching up with friends. Other nights, you'll walk in and it feels like a Colombian street festival -- music pumping, people celebrating, energy everywhere. The Drinks This is a cocktail-first spot, and their selection is next-level. If you don't know what to order, just tell the staff what flavors or spirits you like -- they'll craft something spot-on every time. Presentation? Always . The Food Yes, they have bites -- but don't come hungry. The small plates are designed to complement your drinks, not replace dinner. The Extras Live DJs, curated sets, and even surprise performances -- this place keeps things fresh and exciting without losing its cozy feel. The Staff Absolutely outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Good vibes in, good vibes back. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city. Whether you want a low-key Tuesday or a Saturday night that feels like carnival season, this place delivers every time.

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

The vibe is chill, relaxed, and very neighborhood-friendly. Even when it's busy, it never feels overwhelming, and they're usually very accommodating with walk-ins. The service is also some of the best I've experienced in Harlem. My go-to is the roasted duck, which is consistently excellent. It's cooked medium to medium-rare and comes with mango, onions, vegetables, and greens. Easily one of my favorite dishes in the neighborhood. The drinks are great too. I recently had the Nas, their take on a Manhattan, and it was incredibly smooth--one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a while. Overall, 10/10. A hidden gem on Lenox between 119th and 120th and definitely one of the best spots in Harlem.

We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend

I already knew what I was getting, the Winnie Smash ($18), a double-patty smash burger that comes with a house-style mac sauce and fries. The burger was solid, and I really enjoyed the crispy fries.

It feels like a coffee shop, bar, café, lounge and pre-party stop all at once. The bar staff were "nightclub friendly", they had party energy that this place doesn't warrant. They'd make fun hosts for a great party. The space itself is confusing in an interesting way. It's cold from the tiles and exposed pipes, yet warm from the wooden walls and historic decorative figures. Maybe the idea is that you show up with your group and shape the experience into whatever you want it to be. Still, I'm of the opinion that it's a shared effort. If I'm coming out and spending my money, I deserve an experience. Let me know who you are, and I can decide if you pass my vibe check. This mystified, vaguely eclectic, "we're different but won't say how" approach makes it harder to give new places a chance. I don't see a long shelf life for this one, but hey, I'm just a customer.
