The Silver Fox Lounge — Restaurant in San Diego

I posted this review a few months ago and reached out to the owner on their website. While over the past few months I've seen the owner reply to many of these reviews but for some reason they never replied to this one. I guess they only reply when they have a remark to say that would be considerd snarky and of a low level caliber. I never seen any responses where they took ownership of a customers issue and said they will strive to do better. I went to the Silver Fox Lounge tonight with my Government Licensed Service Dog, trained to do a specific task, and is only 7 Lbs., while being contained and carried in a satchel over my shoulder, Upon entering I was turned away due to the dog not being allowed in this establishment. I attempted to advise the Doorman, Mr. Hernandez I believe, That he is a Licensed Service Dog, I had his tag and vest, and this is a public place. Mr. Hernandez stated he didn't care because I was in a private business which is not a public space.

I advised him that he is violating my ADA rights and to look it up on his phone or call his boss and make sure. He refused to do so and became very stern, repeating himself that I was in a private business and what I was telling him didn't apply at the Silver Fox.

He did not want to hear anything I had to say, see anything I attempted to show him, and did not attempt to double check with anyone. He spoke aggressively and was very authoritative which almost led to an altercation after I had to put my dog back in the car and went back in to tell my coworkers that I was denied entrance and I would see...

The Silver Fox is a box of fun! They have darts! They have billiards! (yes they call it billiards and not pool) They have sports! (Loads of televisions and they will turn on whatever game your heart desires) They have a jukebox! They have cheap drinks! (We got like 5 drinks for about $14) They have tasty drink! (The BF said it was one of the best Tom Collins he ever had and I had a specialty cocktail called The Caveman something that tasted like a tastier version of a Mai Thai) They have GREAT customer service! (Locals and newbies alike received excellent service and Sean the bartender was super friendly and knew how to work the room).

Overall GREAT, I mean EXCELLENT bar! They are open late nights and early morning. The place did have a faint pee smell but it added to its divey essence. This is what I look for in a dive bar. What more could you ask for?...wait for it.....Its also located next door to a nail salon...SCORE. I was able to get my toes polished while my bf waited and got a couple of drinks. It...

I had my birthday here, and while we had fun, the bartender was such a rain on my parade. She didn’t like the music we were playing so she continued to turn it down and complain to my friends about it. She also didn’t know what a Negroni was….. this is a dive bar so I should’ve known to maybe not even ask, but really??

Responding to that hilarious reply:

Are you not aware that AMI music is installed into this sloppy establishment? If you’re not familiar, once you do that, that gives the guests ability to play music through the app. Therefore not leaving it up to the bartenders (if you can even call them that, considering they’re not knowledgeable on classic cocktails) to set the vibe. But don’t get me wrong, your bartenders do set a vibe! The one where I’m not so sure if they wash their hands regularly or are into things like cleaning… considering the environment they...
