Walked into this bar alone not knowing anyone as was made to feel like part of the team. The owner made sure I was taken care of and his staff were so nice . Big shout out to Kitty and Daz so welcoming. Atmosphere was electrifying fully recommend this bar. As a straight women I wanted a place I could go have a drink and feel safe plus enjoy a Friday night out. This ticked all the boxes and to top it off the selection of drinks outstanding and the prices were fantastic too!

LESBIANS Read this The Fox has completely lost what made it matter. It used to be a lesbian bar — one of the few places where women could actually feel comfortable, free, and among our own. Now it’s been taken over by men. They run it, they fill it, and they’ve pushed out the community that built it. It’s not a “mixed” space or “inclusive.” It’s just another bar for men that’s still trading off the reputation and history of lesbians. It’s insulting to call it a lesbian bar at this point. You can’t slap the word “queer” on the door and pretend it’s the same thing. What’s happening at The Fox is gentrification of lesbian space — cultural theft dressed up as progress. If you’re looking for a real lesbian bar, this isn’t it anymore.
