Fox & Hounds British Pub — Restaurant in Florida

I was so excited to come here as we just moved to the area and I thought this would be a cool spot. The bar itself had a lot of beer choices which was great. We ordered beers at the bar and the bartender, a thin blondish/light brown haired woman (didn’t catch her name) asked for id which we (my husband and I) gave to her. one of our party was not standing next to us so we decided he can order his own beer since we didn’t have his id on us (obviously). The bartender then followed us to the table where our friend had not even ordered a beer and demanded to see his id, it turns out he forgot it. That’s fine then he just won’t drink right? NO, this lady was not satisfied, she said we needed to leave and when my husband stated if we have to leave then she should refund us, she said we don’t have to leave but our friend does (why?), and then she said we won’t get a refund because we started drinking the beer, and we should have read the sign when we arrived… first of all I never saw any sign, second of all we didn’t realize our friend forgot his id, third of all I never in my life have been to a bar that the bartender has the authority to say you can’t even sit at the table (shouldn’t they have a bouncer or someone to check id at the door then if you aren’t welcome to even sit at a table?) anyway I understand bars have rules and for good reason but the bartender was just so extremely rude.. never in my life have I met a bartender so rude. If you guys don’t want anyone to sit inside your establishment without id then hire someone to check id at the door, don’t tell your bartenders to harass people and treat them like unwanted garbage. As we were leaving the bartender said we are not welcome back, why would we ever want to come back? I wish I got the lady’s name but I was just so annoyed I didn’t even think about it. Please don’t come here, I’m so embarrassed that I suggested this place to my family...

Such an unfortunate situation occurred here yesterday. We were just saying how much we loved this place for the delicious food, vibes and bartenders. And let me be very clear as to which bartenders I’m referring to, the very nice gentleman with long curly hair: AMAZING! lady with medium length brown hair who was wearing the ramen tshirt last night: AMAZING! However. There was a woman there who is apparently the owner with short blonde hair and was wearing a black tshirt with a white heart on it….

We were there to support our friends amazing band called Gloomchild (also amazing) and had been sitting at the bar since 8:30PM. We enjoyed a few beers and some Fish and chips (10/10). Our friends band didn’t come on until 10:30PM. We stayed for the entire set, we were there until midnight. As the set ended the DJ went on so we stayed at a table. Randomly the owner (blonde lady) comes up to my friend who wasn’t even drinking and asks him for his ID… why? We had been there all evening and he wasn’t even drinking. We were the ones drinking but she singled him out. We weren’t doing anything wrong just sitting at a table chatting with each other. He asks her why she’s asking for his ID now when we have been there all evening.. she calls him rude for not handing it over. He tells her that it feels racist that she would single him out (he is Hispanic).. so because he said that. This woman calls the cops… seriously. For absolutely no reason. My friend decided to leave out of respect for our friends that were playing there… then I kid you not this woman follows them out to their car to take pics of his license plate. FOR WHAT. Absolutely disgusting behavior. We will be telling everyone that we...

ARRIVED: 6:30

21 and up? Really?

Unfortunately I have to leave this review for education purposes. I would normally leave more stars, however there wasn't anything that I missed (& we had done our research before coming). We checked online, called and even looked for markings outside after being kicked out

A few days ago we looked up their website and examined menus and times etc. Today we drove from Fishhawk up to have dinner at the Fox and Hounds. My son and daughter were excited to try a new place.

The kids 18 & 14 yrs old sat in a booth and I went up to the bar (designed with a low ceiling in English style)... to ask if there's a waitress etc..

The parking lot was full but I did not see many people inside but there is an outside area as well. I was hopeful still....

UNTIL we, AFTER placing our order, were asked to leave. First, if you cannot tell that my kids are not 21 when we first walk in, you really shouldn't be serving anyone without more training 😂😆😂. So... If you don't want dinner with your family but DO want to be embarrassed and asked to leave AND want to be confused as to why you are NOT welcome... Come here.

I won't be back, a patron there was kind enough to recommend the place down the street. There, we WERE welcome and it was great food. (I left a review there with pictures) Back on track, WHY would I return to a place when there was no posting of who is NOT welcome.

I want to go where we...
