I had such a fab night at Foxtail—this hidden gem in Arlo SoHo nails that classic-forged, mid-century cocktail lounge vibe. Think velvet curtains, moody lighting, and curated cocktails served with flair. The Guava Punch and Mexican hot chocolate cocktails were real standouts—rich, creative, and oh-so-satisfying .
The service was friendly and attentive—shoutout to Alonzo and Santiago behind the bar, who mixed up some memorable drinks and helped us navigate their fun menu . We also tried their crispy oyster mushrooms—delicious snack that paired perfectly with the drinks.
Hidden speakeasy? Check. Mid-century glam and cozy vibes? Check. Top-tier cocktails, no cover charge, and a playful menu of small bites? Double check. Great spot for a date, small group, or just sophisticated night out.

Read moreI came here with a party of 3 for their winter special reservation so I'm not sure if there is a separate "regular" section.
The bar is inside the Arlo hotel in Soho. Once inside the hotel, you walk a bit in until you see a host who will guide you to wherever you are going.
The section we were in was in full holiday mode. I thought the decorations were magical!
Our waitress was super nice and knowledgeable about the drinks. They also have complimentary popcorn!
They were serving drinks from both their regular and holiday menus. We all thought the drinks were very interesting and creative. The online menu (as of this review) shows the prices to be $16/cocktail but when we went recently, they were $18/cocktail. We got one drink (the one in the tea cup) but I can't remember the name!
Regular menu: Pretty Rickey - so refreshing! big grapefruit flavor Smoke Show - quite the show indeed! nice smoky flavor combined with apple and bourbon flavors Pineapple upside-down cake - very sweet, almost desert-like (not the best drink we had but still good!)
Holiday menu: Tree topper: lovely bubbly drink with elderflower and a touch of sweetness. Really liked it
I think some might pass on this place because it's a "hotel bar" but honestly, it was on par with other cocktail bars. I'd go...
Read moreThis place is such a vibe! My friend and I stumbled upon this gem while searching for a good cocktail bar, and this spot popped up. It’s located inside a hotel, and once we made our way to the back, we were greeted by the fabulous Alonzo. Their energy was amazing—truly the perfect person to be a host!
The bar itself was beautifully decorated for the holidays, bringing all the Christmas spirit, which is always a treat to see. Jasmine welcomed us warmly as we sat at the bar, setting the tone for a great experience.
As for the menu, I loved how unique their cocktail options were—it gave me so many choices! Santiago, our bartender, was friendly, easygoing, and super attentive. The drinks he made were delicious. I especially loved the Guava Punch, a warm drink with just the right amount of sweetness. My friend ordered the Mexican hot chocolate, which was also fantastic.
For food, I highly recommend the crispy oyster mushrooms—they were so good! My only gripe was the complimentary popcorn, which was a bit too salty. Granted, we still ate it, but less salt would definitely be better in the future.
Overall, my friend and I had a great experience here, and I’ll definitely be back again!
