They said there was no food, there's a nice pool table an good music, but couldn't play a game of pool till the regulars left, the one lady working the bar was very nice
Very nice establishment has been there for quite some time. Barely changing hands full table to play pool, sitting tables, full bar, small parking lot fast street parking and for the customers I don’t know any other place where you can make a friends so quickly, you’ll have friends and friendship before your drink refreshing ice, cold beverages for the adults bartenders awesome stop in. I’m sure you’ll agree. not trendy, which is wonderful very down to earth, peaceful good conversations, good friends, good beverages it seems like everybody takes care of everybody. Nice and cozy. Don’t see it too much anymore anywhere but here in this establishment do you have it all I know a lot of things changed, but this little place in my opinion will always be a place and a seat for you. Thank you so the staff bartenders and you friends. and some old friends from the past drop in from time to time very nice.
I nearly went here 2 weeks ago on Friday night just to back my friend up and I'm so glad I didn't!
My buddy decided to bar hop and I didn't join. He was there for less than an hour and someone got their face shot off!!! This place continues to bring in the worst people. Over the years so many bad things have happened here. You can change the name all you want it will never change your clientele. I say knock this place down already. Enough is enough!
Sly Fox Irish Pub is close to a classic dive bar. It's old timey to the point that the back door is the main entrance in. Small parking lot that may park about 5 cars and watch the street signs for parking. Pool table & full service bar. Mostly bar seating with a banquette along one wall.
What made this bar cool is Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma as she refers to herself. Breezy, lively, nonchalante, a bit coquettish to the "right guy", socially charming to her other guests. She conjures up her own story line to create her aura & drama. Author John Rechy, if he were straight, would have featured Miz Sandra in one of his novels like the City of Night.
Ordered a pint of Guinness & Harp combination, but I didn't call it a "black & tan" in an Irish pub for historical reasons. But Sandra told me they don't have Harp, and suggested I do a Snake Bite instead which is half Guinness & Hard Cider. I opted for just Guinness since I wasn't in an experimental mood.
Later, she was kind enough to let me sample a shot of the Strong Bow Hard Cider which was smooth, sweet, acidic with actual sour apple flavour. Next time I'll have to order the Snake Bite.
Don't know how exactly Irish Sly Fox is with its grunge-garage rock music. But it's a good, unpretentious, local hang out. And of course, there's Sandra, la Reina de Moctezuma who is worth the visit. 4- stars
