  • 2/5 Tarcia P. 1 year ago on Google • 336 reviews
    From the moment we walked in, we knew the night wasn't going to be great. The guy at the door greeted us by letting us know there was a pool tournament going on. As we looked at him with confusion (like what does that have to do with anything), he proceeds to tell us the only pool tables available were 2 large ones in the back. That was perfectly fine because we were only there for drinks and food, the pool tables were just a bonus. After my group was seated, we waited for about 10 minutes before I got frustrated and went to the bar to see why no one was helping us. The lady stated that she was making her rounds and would be right over to us. Another 10 minutes had passed and still nothing. Mind you, the place wasn't all that packed. So I go back to the bar and the lady again states that she will be with us. Another 10 minutes go by and nothing. At this point, we are ready to leave and go somewhere else where we felt welcomed. So I go to the bar for a third time and a guy tells me they are all working together and I could put our orders in with him. That would have been nice to know from the beginning. After that, the night went pretty good and the 2 guys helping us were really cool. The wings and pizza were good, as well as the cocktails. Unfortunately, due to the initial impression, and lack of inclusion/diversity at this establishment, we will not be returning.

    Friday night and I was craving a cold beer and chicken wings. This place hit the spot. 1st time there. Lots of pool tables, live entertainment, and a diverse crowd(singles, couples, young and old). $8/hr for tables, which were all in excellent condition. Will be back again!!!

    Hung up on me three times when i was simply trying to ask if their banshee sauce has dairy in it. I just wanted to enjoy the wings without worrying if im going to get sick but they were too cool, as soon as i asked they hung up… 3 separate times. Losing business over something so simple smh.

    Best place in town for live music. Food - this is not typical bar food. It’s a well thought out, high quality menu with food service until 3am. Pro tip - when you are closing out your bar tab, put in an order for a pizza to go. You will thank me later.

    Just saw a couple weeks ago they’re closed! Diamonds was my favorite bar for years. So much fun, good prices, and so many good memories there.

    The inside is dirty. I saw a bunch of dust clumped up on the dealing above the main bar. Also be prepared to leave with every piece of clothing smelling like smoke.

  • 2/5 Sarah S. 10 months ago on Google
    Live in the neighborhood and decided to try for the first time and was pretty disappointed. I do like the outdoor area but the service was bad. The bartender was playing movies with the sound on during dinner hours on patio and the particular movie he chose didn’t seem to be appropriate for a restaurant setting. It would have been nice to listen to music instead for a better atmosphere. The menu was pretty basic and very similar to the other bars in the area such as Saints and DiOrio’s, except more expensive and not as good. Probably won’t be back.

    Absolutely amazing staff! I did have an issue with an overcharge but I've got a call in to correct it, I would imagine they will make good on it 🖤 will update! Update: Overcharge was corrected. They had corrected it that following morning, my bank just hadn't reflected it at that time. We will definitely be going back!

    Food seems a bit overpriced, have not ordered tho. Drinks are about average with everywhere else you go. Nothing stands out with this place that gives it an edge over other places near by. Long wait times normally to get a drink from beer, this is not due to crowd but incompetence.

    Clean. Great food and prices. World class service. Excellent place to have fun.

  • 5/5 Josh Cottrell (. 5 months ago on Google • 107 reviews
    Their chicken quesadilla, meatball sub and fries are all delicious. My friend and I were there on Halloween weekend and had a good time. Drinks are priced fairly and bartenders are quick!

  • 5/5 Martin F. 4 years ago on Google • 70 reviews
    Place is beautiful!! All new. It has a very extensive and eclectic menu. The bar staff was very nice and the drinks were exceptional. Great happy hour late night on Sundays. They are getting more live music in every day.

  • 5/5 Teri M. 8 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Fun place! Great, cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Eleven (I think) tables: nine are 8ft, two are 9ft. Good food. Full bar. They MAY have live music, but not sure.

  • 5/5 Elesha B. 4 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Lots of fun, great food, great bands and strong drinks - try the buffalo chicken pizza 🤤 $10 cover is a little much tho

  • 4/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't know they changed from Diamonds, burgers are still good and vibe still about the same. They did spruce it up a bit.

  • 4/5 Chris K. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife and I are always looking for someplace different to eat. The menu has a good selection of burgers and wraps. Both of us enjoyed our meal and will probably try Diamonds again in the future.

  • 4/5 Steven P. 2 years ago on Google
    Real nice bar has quite a few pool tables and live band in the back with a smoking area just really nice place to visit

  • 5/5 steve c. 11 months ago on Google
    The Fox Den was a very fun atmosphere with pool tables and a great bar staff. We did not get food but being out of towners the patrons and bar staff were very helpful and inviting and the drinks were well above average. Overall a great experience.

  • 3/5 Daniel J. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is good, it’s very crowded so that makes it take a little while to get a drink. Besides that it’s a fun place to go out to enjoy playing pool. There’s a lot of disrespectful wannabe thugs that don’t know how to act but after one gets knocked out it ends up becoming a fun time

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of me and my bestie's favorite place to chill and hangout. LOVE THE LIVE COVER BANDS AND drinks. Long island iced tea is the best!

  • 1/5 Derrick G. 2 years ago on Google
    I called this place to verify if someone is using the 9 foot pool table on the Sunday tournament. Someone blocked my number. I guess I should go somewhere else.

  • 5/5 Aubriana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place! Went there with my service dog and I had a really good time. No issues with my service dog they even gave me some water so I could fill her bowl. The food was great. The staff were very nice and helpful. Place is accessible. We had a lot of fun!

  • 4/5 Trish N. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the outdoor bar area. They need to expand to accommodate larger bands with fans. Very small dance floor and cut off from the bar and outdoor seating area. We will be back on August 27th for The Velcro Pygmies and I have no idea how everyone is going to be able to see them.

  • 1/5 sam b. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m here now. Ordered a hamburger 2 hours ago and still nothing. Everytime I ask a worker what’s going on they just smile and keep walking. About to eat my hand, don't come here.

  • 4/5 Jackie G. 1 year ago on Google
    The new owner had really cleaned and brightened up the place. I think the menu is good but a little pricey for what you get, but it’s new. The drinks are spot on.

  • 5/5 Royal B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the new setup. The new floors and the sitting was amazing. The Foz Philly that I had was to die for!

  • 5/5 Scott F W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Definitely spruced up from last owners from Diamonds. Very good food, beautifully recovered tables too. Outside deck with the inside stage is still a great place for music.

  • 4/5 Leah D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of TVs for football and other sports with smaller bite menu available during games. Great nachos and cold beer. Friendly service. Lots of pool tables for league play.

  • 5/5 Fredie R. 1 year ago on Google
    I can’t say enough good things about this place. We have a great time every time we come. The owner even made special arrangements for my daughter that has special needs. Live music, cheap drinks, and great food! See you next time!

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    From concerts to food to billiards to great staff and great drinks, you CANNOT GO WRONG with the Fox Den. This place is definitely a go-to location for food, fun and great music. They ALWAYS have the best music venue in the city.

  • 2/5 Celeste B. 1 year ago on Google
    Grabbing a pool table was confusing; the bartender couldn't give us clear instructions, I guess we're supposed to wait and watch for tables to open, then gather the balls? Though there were empty tables. I don't understand how this is supposed to work. No kind of system or schedule in place. We grabbed an empty table, but it was apparently claimed despite no one being there. So I guess feel free to leave and come back at your leisure all night. Also, no beer pitchers despite advertising.

  • 5/5 Geneva W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food the barmaid are awsome and the pot on the drinks is amazing! I will definitely be back to visit when I come to town!

  • 5/5 Ruby R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my home. The people that work here and the atmosphere is what we all look for. Every person in this building has more than a skill. It's who they are as people. Pure love radiates out of this establishment.

  • 5/5 H B N. 1 year ago on Google
    Joe was excellent. Well organized and got all 9 separate orders delivered & billed correctly. Large portions...Cobb salad, cheeseburger, fish & chips. Draft domestic pints $2. For the billiards player, plenty of tables mid-day, mid-week.
