“We hosted an event at Fox Republic and could not recommended enough. Laura & Adam were incredibly patient, helpful, and friendly to all. They helped set up and were ready and willing to provide anything we needed to make our daughter’s 1st birthday and hosting easier on us. We cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful and carefree day. Not to mention drinks were delish, the mead was a fan fav.“

“I came here last Tuesday’s and I have literally dreamed about there beer since. My waking days are thinking of this bar and my dreams are filled with it.

After a being fired, months of unemployment, and my wife leaving me, my last ditch effort of joy was coming in here. Elise lit up my world, and saved me. I spent the night laughing.

I have since found a purpose and job that give me meaning. Elise saved me.

Best bartender ever“

“Love the beers, but wish they offered less IPAs this time of year. Also, please make it more clear on your taproom info that you're only dog-friendly OUTSIDE. Our February visit with our dog limited us to sitting in 45 degree weather at a picnic table.“

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.“

“Went there for the first time yesterday and everything from the atmosphere to service was great 👍🏽 I got the octopus as an appetizer and the market fish stew and it was excellent. drinks were delicious as well. I'll be back.“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere. I come here early on Saturdays or Sundays with my kids so I can try a couple beers and they can play pinball or the other games this bar has. Very friendly and courteous staff.“

“awesome concept but you really need to fix the broken games. going from one broken game to another doesnt really encourage people to come back“
