Foxtail was sexy. Let me try to explain:
The vibes were giving warm, dim, intimate without being cramped. The space mixes art deco with a little bit of Spanish flair, tucked beside/adjacent to Mama Betty's. It's big, but arranged in a way that still feels cozy and social. The crowd? Late 20s to early 40s. Grown and attractive. Lively but not chaotic. Vibrant without being loud. Perfect for dressing up a little, socializing and lingering a little.
We Ubered there, so I didn't get a full picture of the parking, but it seems like there may be a little parking garage or validated parking area? Maybe a pay for parking? I would read other reviews.
Most of the staff? Fantastic. Professional, warm, funny. Our assigned waitress, however, gave off overwhelmed and low-energy. She was short with communication and it sort of dulled our sparkle for a moment, but the drinks and vibes quickly brought it back. Had we had another waitress, this place would have been a 10 out of 10. On to the drinks:
Round one: espresso martinis (made with Tito's). Slightly sweet, bold, smooth, and very sippable. No coffee bean decorations on top, but full of flavor. No cream inside...sort of reminding you of a Black Russian. Served in a ribbed coupe glass.
Round two: French 75s with Hendrick's. Punchy lemon flavor, a tad sweet, lower champagne notes but still giving French 75. Garnished with a dried lime slice instead of a lemon. Served elegant in those ribbed coupe glasses (which fit the aesthetic perfectly).
The cocktails are well-crafted and intentional. They aren't overly boozy, but they are balanced, smooth and polished.
Bathrooms? Immaculate. Unisex. Private stall rooms with their own individual doors. Efficient and modern. No long lines. Opportunity to mingle with the opposite sex in the bathroom if that suits your fancy.
Foxtail feels like a good place to start a new chapter. We had good conversations and we enjoyed staying out just a little longer than we planned. Their Happy Hour (4:30-6pm weekdays) is officially on my radar for the future.
I'll be back. I want this place to be routine. 9 out of 10.

Such a cool place! My fiancé & I really enjoyed our time here

I’ve been here several times and it seems disorganized now. It started out great and I was excited about a new neighborhood cocktail bar. Now there are “reserved” signs on every table, even when they’re all empty, and there is no host. The two bartenders didn’t greet us when they saw us walk in. There is one waitress who does a great job— there used to be two but the other apparently doesn’t work there anymore. Drinks are expensive and I have to wonder how the tips are split…

We live nearby and took advantage of family in town to pop out for a drink. We missed the recent addition of reservations but Joshua and team were incredibly welcoming and put in the effort to make our night happen. Everyone in our party loved their drinks, the atmosphere was great, and the bartending team showed their experience. We’ll be back for Thursday’s neighborhood (jazz!) night, and look forward to making this a regular haunt.

One of my favorite parts of this bar was the decor - the color scheme goes well with each other, and I can tell every furniture piece was bought with good intentions. The drinks were good and fairly priced. However, we were left with a bad taste from our bartender who did not seem pleased to see a big group enter the establishment, 2 hours before closing. It seemed that handling 10 people was “a lot” for her, describing us as “so many of you” (her words). And based on prior reviews from a month ago, this seems like a common reoccurrence that has yet to be addressed from the manager. We did not feel welcomed, and her responses felt very unprofessional.
Despite this, we continued to respect her as a service worker as we understand the stress she may be under during busy weekends. However, I would not return as it seems that the staff do not like being called inconvenienced. Getting annoyed is different than showing it, which made us uncomfortable during our entire stay. Although her demeanor changed near closing, we still felt that the overall experience was negative for simply being a bigger group.

We enjoyed our time at Foxtail and I am curious to see how it develops after its opening. The atmosphere is moody but fun and the service was very well run. As for the drinks, they were good but could maybe use a bit more development. I really enjoyed the vixen (a mezcal, campari, passionfruit drink), but the Saint Berry (a vodka, st germain drink) was a bit sweet/ unbalanced for us. Additionally, I think the space could be improved by either a reservation system or a hostess to help ease the seating system as it ends up crowding the entrance a bit as people stand and wait for tables to open up. We didn't have to wait long for a table, but the system was a bit awkward.

Swanky bar with good cocktails and kind service. We also had the bacon nut trail mix.

Me and a few friends went for birthday drinks. Our waitress was so rude. She made our orders seem like they were a pain. She acted like telling us drink recommendations were a chore. Rolling her eyes and huffing and puffing. It was weird. Even when she brought our waters she said “you’re probably not going to drink them anyways but here.” All in all crap attitude. Atmosphere was amazing, but won’t go back due to service.
Perfect atmosphere. Just a bit pricey and slow service.

Great bar with a creative selection of drinks with unique bases (Siete Misterios Mezcal, Planteray Dark Rum, Weber Ranch Vodka, etc), attentive service, and fair price points.
Recommend if you want an approachable place to have great drinks with friends. Music is also just right and not too loud. My bartenders were Autumn and Maggie.
