Went in late & the bartender was more than accommodating. I had never been to this place- honestly didnt even know it was in the hotel. Its a dark cabiny vibe. The drinks are stroooooong & delicious. We walked around the hotel after & were amused with the decor. Check it out. Perfect place for a drink to catch up w friends. read more

Just because it wasn't what I was looking for, I can't punish the store, and I think I'm not... But I'm going to admit with "Fox and Hounds", the problem was my expectations. British Bar INSIDE a "British designed hotel", so I had my hopes probably heightened more that it should have with my previous British bar results. I went in thinking British craziness and got a "Edgar Allen Poe" feel... But I'm going to say this was NOT what I was expecting. First and foremost, your eyes are going to need adjusting. Plain and simple, it felt more like a dark ... room? (Part of the problem I think is that as it was already June, you can forget using the fireplace to lighten the room up) so it felt.. "Small", and I"m going to feel weird saying this... "Romantic Horrorfest". Wait, before you go "wha??", this isnt' necessarily a bad thing. The Taxidermy , the photos on the wall. the fireplace. the VERY (and I mean VERY) dim lighting... The limited seating on the main floor, the one door in and out it had a "wooden cabin feel".. Yes, if you had a wonderful romantic film and it was suddenly invaded by some monster villain... This where it would take place and it would be perfect. (See I can find positive things to say about things i wasn't looking for) As for the service, apparently (going back to the Romantic filmfest), I was struggling to get any attention for the bartendress, cause I guess I was solo'ing by myself, and because of how I wasn't able to get the bartendress attention... I kinda felt like an unwanted customer in a place more for couples or friends getting together which had me leaving shortly thereafter, so no real food score (although I will say, much like Oh London ,the menu wasn't really much to work through...), Anyway, no TV's, no world cup game on the air.. just like I said a vibe of a cabin in a "romantic movie, where the monsters lurk". And Apologies for some of the iffy pictures, it just didn't feel right using a flash on the camera in such a secluded locale) and like I said, it wasnt' what I was expecting (rowdy British fans watching the local club or something), but there's something about it that even i have to admit, would make this location a nice "date night" or "out with friends' location, more so than just a single person looking for a nightcap. (And Maybe there really is a monster hiding in the fireplace, to keep the "Horror" feel going?? :) read more

My husband and I had toured Boundary as a possible wedding venue along with one of our daughters and her fiancé. Afterward, I suggested having cocktails at Fox and Hounds! We arrived around 3:45 and the place was busy! There was one open seating area so we grabbed it quickly. We spent a few minutes looking at the menu and then the guys went up to the bar to get our drinks. There didn't seem to be table service. I don't know if they ever have it or not. We enjoyed hanging out there for a few drinks. It has a dark, moody, comfy feel. I tried to take pictures but it was pretty dark and they didn't turn out well. I had the "Yes We Have One" - it's an espresso martini. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but it was good and I had more than one so it couldn't have been too bad! The other three enjoyed their drinks as well. I'd definitely go back and have a few cocktails in a cozy little area! read more

The coziest spot! This place is so perfect when you're wanting to go somewhere quaint and comfortable to enjoy an intimate setting. The fireplace totally makes the overall experience and makes you feel like you're in an elevated pub. There's lots of taxidermy on the walls and classic looking paintings, you feel like you're not in stl anymore. Our visit was for drinks only, and my dirty martini was great. We sat on the leather couches and chatted with another couple and it was a great spot for a double date night. Check it out! read more

Amazing ambiance, fantastic and fun staff. I went with a small group for book club, and I would absolutely go back!

This is a smallish place inside the Cheshire Hotel. With no view to the outside world, truly feels like you're really in a British pub. Because it is inside The Cheshire hotel; may need to park under the building. Only a handful of food choices; full bar - comfortable seating and a fireplace. The ambiance is amazing. The cocktails were really top notch - quite a few choices of liquor. We had munchies and drinks and just took in the atmosphere. read more

Go early..very little seating. Nice ambiance ~old world British Tavern with (very) low lights and fireplace. Good food and drinks. Reasonable prices. read more

Service was great, ambience was fantastic and the food was delicious. The biggest downside was trying to find a seat. It is incredibly small and people tend to stay for a long time. read more

My husband and I come here during the week and love the atmosphere. Chris is the bartender that is regularly there and we ADORE him! He makes top notch cocktails on top of being a quality human.

Came in for dinner and a drink last Saturday - this place is right across the street from us and we'd been dying to try their burger and fish & chips. However, the experience fell a bit flat for us. All orders are placed at the bar - we ordered cocktails and food and had a perfect little table in the corner (atmosphere is 11/10). As we sipped our drinks, we were a bit disappointed to realize that they were definitely made with well liquor, despite being specialty cocktails (note to self: specify better alcohol next time!). When our food came, we were super excited to dive in. The fries were delish, and my husband's burger was definitely the winner. But the fish and chips were quite bad - totally over-breaded (almost like they were wrapped in a pancake) and not at all light and crispy, the dough was stretchy. I ate the fish out of the middle (that was quite tasty) but won't be back for that again. Overall, mixed experience. read more

We only stop by for drinks, so I can't attest to the food, but the overall ambience and excitement of a speakeasy in St. Louis was awesome. We arrived at 5 PM when they opened, and every seat was full. We were lucky to snag a table in the corner. I highly recommend this fun and creative spot! I mean, come on, you can open the door by pulling on a book on the shelf. How cool is that?! read more

This little pub is located inside the Cheshire. Parking was terrible but their lot is small and people are parking for the hotel, boundary, basso, and fox & hounds so it is understandable. The place was super crowded when we walked in but found a small table. Took about 15 mins to get through the line and grab a drink because it was packed but it was a friday night. The bartender whipped up our drinks really quickly and we all enjoyed them. The room is decorated in a quirky, old-timely fashion which was unique and fun atmosphere read more

The ambiance in the Fox & Hound is second to none. It may be hard to find a seat but it's worth the wait. We squeezed in at the bar for a drink (can't speak for the food, we only had drinks). This is apparently a local favorite and it's obvious why once you step inside. Apparently the hotel is a great wedding venue so plan to make reservations well in advance to dine at the restaurant or stay at the hotel. They've got antiques everywhere, the whole place is like stepping into the past. read more

The Fox & Hound is a quaint little bar inside of The Cheshire Hotel. Great decor and cozy atmosphere. My husband lives their talk beer tower. I love the low lighting and vibe. The bar tenders provide good service. They do not serve food. If you're looking for a unique place to go have drinks give this bar a try! read more

They have a whole bootlegger's stash of cocktails at The Fox & Hounds Speakeasy! Gind them inside the Cheshire Inn on Clayton. Find the secret entrance and belly up the bar. There's a selection of giggle water from the Roaring 20s to current trendy libations. They even have a menu packed with pub favorites like fish & chips or shepherd's pie. If you get there early enough, you can snag a seat in a dark corner. We showed up about 8pm on a Friday night and they were out of everything! An employee was wheeling in a new stash of frozen food into the back to start preparing, but I'll pass. If the place is packed, head to the hotel lobby and find lots of cozy seating around the fireplace. And if you bring all your friends, there's a seat for everyone! It was bumper to bumper folks in there on a Friday night. About 20 minutes to get a drink, only to find out that they were out of special ingredients for 3 of the cocktails. Have a back up plan just in case. Hint: Look for the secret book in the bookcase next to the hotel concierge. OPEN: *Thursday 5-10pm *Friday 3-11pm *Saturday 3-11pm *Sunday are 5-10pm read more

This pub had all the potential to be a great place tonight, maybe some live music but it definitely needed a decent outgoing bartender. Started off we sat there for 10 minutes waiting for the bartender, when she came in she apologized that she was delivering linens, we completely understood in a small boutique hotel you wear many hats. As guests walked in she stood looking down on her phone, if you are like the pubs in Europe where you come to the bar, greet them and let them know when they are ready come on up you can help them. Instead she ignored them, the more people that came in the ruder she got. We heard guests being told, it best you come to the bar to see what we have...we don't have that (said quite abruptly) napkins were quite forcefully put on the bar and glasses slammed down and bottles thrown in the trash with a loud bang. We left after one drink, I felt sorry for the guests and quite honestly do not tolerate poor customer service. People have bad days, I hope this was an exception... The right bartender could make that an evening to remember PS Roxie at the front desk was warm and inviting read more

I love this place! Especially the bartender Chris! He is my absolute favorite: kind, wise and an exceptional bartender! Love hanging out here in the dark gothic historic bar. Thank you for a great time ~ Please note the worst reviews are like 100 years old! read more

Loved this place! My husband and I stayed at the hotel, and you can't be the convenience of a pub downstairs. Great bartenders that were knowledgeable and willing to help find your perfect libation. Will definitely visit again when we're in town! read more

This is exactly the spot I was looking for for a cozy after-dinner drink. It is inside a hotel so it isn't right off of a street. I loved the English hunting lodge vibe. There were candles burning and also a fire place, but it was empty because it was a hot night. What I ordered: I just got a glass of wine, but it was good! And the bartender seemed knowledgeable. I don't know if I would ever get food here because it is very meat-heavy, but it looked good! This is the perfect place for an intimate, winding down place after a dinner date! read more

Fox & Hounds Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Orders: Chocolate Milk Stout | Nitro Irish Stout | Cheshire Burger | Coventry Fish & Chips Cute place!! Super cozy, great service, bomb beer on tap, taxidermy art creates woodsy lodge atmosphere. I didn't see many reviews about food - looks like people primarily come for cocktails & drinks, but I'm here to tell you to GET THE CHESHIRE BURGER!!!! I've been looking for a grass-fed burger in STL & am so stoked to have found this one! The Coventry Fish & Chips with a side salad was also super yum, but my bf and I agreed that the burger was the total showstopper. I got mine medium rare & it was so f$&@ing delicious. Small place, so you may have to stand around somewhere before you can "pull up a pew" (we sat along the wall in a funny little pew booth - so awesome), but it's way worth it! The atmosphere is really cool & our bartender gal was so nice, calm & collected in spite of a crowded bar. Highly recommend!! Thank you!!! read more

Such a unique spot! All the dark and cozy charm of a small British pub. Fireplace. Small tables. Not much room for big groups. And while you can take your drinks out to the hotel lobby (it is nice but not the same vibe. Brighter. Less intimate) The food is good. Expensive. I come here for cocktails. Really interesting cocktail menu and some low ABV cocktails for those who are interested (but no price cut on the low ABV ones) If you want an intimate, small, cozy place to enjoy a great cocktail (or small draft selection--nothing special but the big locals are represented) then you gotta try. read more

I flew to St. Louis to have a two day late birthday dinner with my daughter and her partner Tim and we went to the Cheshire Inn, which used to have a wonderful British/Irish type pub but had become an Italian restaurant called Brasso. I was disappointed to say the least, especially since I really wanted some Irish food being 42% Irish heritage. When I had to walk down a long flight of stairs to go to the dining room I was very unhappy because I have a ruptured tendon in my left ankle and had hip surgery just a couple of months ago and was walking with an ankle brace and a cane. The restaurant had a nice ambience very reminiscent of an English pub and I ordered a pasta dish called Mafalda which turned out to be very good. My daughter and her partner Tim also really enjoyed their entrées and I was extremely pleased to discover that I could take their service elevator up to the parking lot instead of having to walk the stairs again. In all it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. read more

Fun place to visit for a drink and snack. Didn't get a chance to try the full menu as we were heading out but the drinks were great. Service was excellent and loved the cheese tray.

Service was great and probably one of the best things at the establishment. Five stars. Seats are tight and cozy which is why it's so important to be prepared for the journey down a rabbit hole... read more

We stopped in for a cocktail before dinner. Good drinks, calm atmosphere. Would definitely return.

In short the fish and chips have really gone down hill. The batter on the fish was tough as it was very overcooked and the two pieces were minuscule. A generous portion of tough stale french fries completed the meal. I ordered this before and it was good so this time it was very different. In their defense it was a Friday night and they were very busy. I hope they can get back to the way it was before when the food was good. read more

This is one of my favorite spots for a quiet drink with friends. If you're a fan of cozy mysteries, this is your place. The bar is snug with contented seating in conversational arrangements. It's dark enough to feel relaxed but you're still quite able to see menu and friends. It's an English atmosphere enhanced by a fire in cooler weather. Wine list is short but approachable-cocktails were commended by my friends! Appetizers, sandwiches and salads are on the menu - we had one of each. It's a bit of a juggle to eat if you've chosen the couch/chair seating but we were far to comfortable there by the fire to move to an available booth. read more

Once I get past all the dead animals on the walls, I love this place very much. It's like sitting in a lodge in the middle of the woods. There's something about this bar. It's so cozy, so relaxing, so dark and mysterious... I'm not sure what it is that gets me every time, but I keep coming back for more. During the winter when the fireplace is lit, don't even get me started. This time of year, though, I get to enjoy the pool... I don't know which I love more. Who would ever think a tiny bar in a hotel would be so great? It's one of those places I'm glad I live close to and I'm glad a lot of people don't know about. The cheese plate, burger, fish & chips and lamb sliders are all my top choices on the menu, and I pair it with a finely crafted gimlet from the bar. They also have a great wine and beer list that you really can't go wrong with. Stop by Fox & Hounds for a comforting, satisfying dinner or for a romantic drink at the bar. Rumor has it that when the bar at the pool is completed this week, you can stay at the pool all day as long as you spend $15. Now that's something I can get behind. read more

Unique, old-world moody vibe with top-notch drinks. It feels like you are in a speakeasy tavern in 'Downton Abbey'. A whimsical place in the middle of St Louis. Service was quick, friendly, and easy. Fantastic spot for cold winter nights by the fire read more

This is the easiest 5 stars ever. I justlove this okace and the fact that it hasn't much changes since my college days. That's a loooong time. The entertainment was amazing to me. A guy on accoustic guitar accompanied by a jazz clarinet. I thought I'd seen everything but this was a new one for me. They were very talented. The criwd spills out into the hall which is far brighter but still a cool spot to chill with friends. I noticed the server served them all the same as folks in the bar proper. What fun! read more

I really enjoyed having nightcaps with my friends at this place. You definitely feel like you're in a German pub or timber lodge or Masonic gathering or something. The couches are old and rustic, as well as the tables and the setting. The walls are adorned with "olde" stuff. It's my kind of place! The people there seem to be mostly of the more chilled out persuasion. Bartenders seem pretty chill and friendly. I had a cocktail that I think was called Aztec Gold, which was basically like a dessert drink, very tasty. Perfect end to the night! For a brief period of time, there was a live pianist and bassist playing some jazzy tones. A wee bit pricey if you're just getting basic drinks.. so go for an interesting cocktail or unique brew. read more

Very cool ambiance. One of my favorite bars in the cold seasons. Nothing better than sitting close to the fireplace!

I came here for drinks before dinner at Basso. What a cool place! I can't wait to go back. It's an ideal spot for a "catch up" with friends with a living room feel. It reminded me of my old faves in Silverlake (LA area) California. Staff was very friendly! I had wine but the drinks looked great and friends raved about their cocktails. read more

Fox & Hounds Tavern - upscale dive - Pubs Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Nice people, lots of alcohol-related beverages, small menu but adequate. Very small and cozy.

The Fox & Hounds Tavern inside the Chesire Hotel is a hidden gem in St. Louis. This bar is styled after an English hunting lodge. It is small, but has a lot of character. They have a good selection of beers, wines, and mixed drinks. There is a small, but well prepared food menu. I almost always get the burger (great fries) but they have a couple salads I enjoy as well. The staff has always been great. My friends and I will often go get food and drinks from the tavern and then play board games just outside the bar by the fire (and stuff bear). Occasionally there will even be live music. I can't speak highly enough of this place. It is a good spot to just relax with a pint with your friends. read more

I love this place. This pub takes you back in time or off to an upscale estate in upstate NY or Wisconsin to go hunting, while you are waiting for your dinner reservations for Basso or Boundary. There is live jazz on the weekends too. Things to Note: 1) Cozy, Lots of Furniture vs. typical Bar Seats 2) Wonderful bartenders and mixed drinks. 3) Parking is awful. . 4) Slightly $$$ for drinks - but you come here for the service and atmosphere. read more

Had a lovely time here with amazing, engaging staff and when we called ahead, they had our order ready for us. The drinks were fabulous and we could have stayed there for much longer. The ambiance is stellar and it's warm and cozy on a winter's eve. We wish we had booked this hotel so we could stay at the tavern! Thank you, Dan! read more

My wine pour was hefty and tasted just fine for $8. Cocktail menu looked good but I did not partake. $12-$14 price range for specialty cocktails that look well thought out. Had to take off a star for the flat screen TV. Whyyyyyy? The place is so authentic and adorable, who wants to see an obnoxious screen as the brightest darn thing in the bar?! Loved it all besides that! read more

Fox & Hounds Tavern - Cozy booth for 2 - Pubs Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Grab yourself a glass of wine, get a couch seat, and get sexy. Or get ready to talk philosophy. Either way, the this cozy pub is a great spot for a nightcap or pre-dinner drink and sparkling conversation. Fox & Hounds is small, dark, plush. Couches replace tables. The bar only holds 6-7 spots but has a good selection of beers and liquors. They have a surprisingly great wine selection for their size. Their staff is always friendly and can make a stellar Manhattan. Parking can be dicey depending on the time but I recommend parking on the street along Clayton and walking up to the hotel. Much easier! read more
