The Fox Den — Restaurant in Redondo Beach

This place is amazing. The decor, the lighting, the ambiance, it's perfect. The bartenders are great and the drinks are incredible. Do you want an actually good dirty Martini? They have one on the menu! The margaritas and (true) classic cocktails are great too. The music is top notch too with an in-house DJ on the days I've been there, but I will say it's too way too loud on the lounge side of the bar. The dance floor is small but poppin, but the lounge side is a bunch of people leaning too far forward in their chairs and attempting to scream at each other over the music. We left with sore throats just having normal conversation, lol. That's the only point to dock, please mildly adjust the sound system on the one side...

I arrived at 1:05am on Saturday the 8th and was told the bar was closed for the night. A quick google search you will find the bar is supposed to be open till 2am. If it was 1:30am I would understand a last call and not allowing anyone else to enter but not barely past 1am, especially on a Saturday.

I will not be going here again and doubt any of the other 4 people I was with will either. Way to make a good first impression Fox Den. Long...

I’ve been to The Fox Den twice and both times, the cocktails were fantastic—elevated, balanced, and worth sipping slow. The vibe is equally on point: cozy, stylish, and a great addition to South Redondo.

Sidebar: If you like your Manhattans straight up (like I do), and Fitzy (sp?) is working, be sure to let her know beforehand. She automatically serves them on the rocks—nice rocks, yes—but those are for Old...
