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!

We love the Fox! It’s such a friendly and welcoming place for everyone. The staff are lovely people - approachable, kind and friendly. They run a lot of interesting and unique community events, and provide a safe space for people to be fully themselves. As well as the atmosphere, it has some really cool artwork, a great outdoor area, and reasonably priced drinks. Absolutely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

Visiting Birmingham, have been plenty times and love the place. This time we checked out this bar where the staff seem so friendly and welcoming. Just a shame the DJ on a Saturday night was playing tunes by known seggsuuallll predators, so a huge buzz kill. So we went out the back for a quieter time but unfortunately there was a man with a guitar and a terrible singing voice violating my eardrums there too. Was hard to catch up with my friends, or make other friends in the place for this reason. It was so bad we just had to leave without even finishing our drinks
