Classic lounge with strong cocktails, thumb bits, and prime rib
"A South Miami staple since the 1940s, locals mourned when it closed in 2015 and celebrated its return in 2022 — classics intact, including the signature ice-cold martini with a sidecar. The dark, cavernous feel adds to its charm, and dishes like the Original Thumb Bits (seared tenderloin tips with au jus served over toasted baguette slices) are a happy throwback in time." - Alona Martinez
"First opened in 1946, this local staple (revived by Lost Boy & Co.) offers Happy Hour every day from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Enjoy $7 cocktails, $5 beers, and $6 glasses of wine while noshing on potato skins, shrimp cocktails or 1⁄2 grilled cheese and fries, priced at $6.99 each. Additional weekday specials include Martini & Margarita Mondays, Vodka & Gin Martinis, and Tommy’s Margarita, all for $10 from 8 pm. until close. Come on Wednesdays and enjoy half-priced wine bottles from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m." - Alona Martinez
"This beloved dive bar and restaurant features favorites like the decadent cheeseburger, available as a single or double Angus patty. It’s topped with American and Swiss cheeses, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and creamy garlic, all served on a brioche bun—a perfect match for the bar’s famously stiff, ice-cold drinks." - Eater Staff
"What It Was: The darkest restaurant in Miami with a liquor store ventanita. Opened in 1946, Fox’s was a dive bar and restaurant known for prime rib, cold martinis, and shady politicians enjoying anonymity in pitch-black booths. The South Miami spot was a local favorite for multiple generations—from the jukebox era to the payphone and beeper days. But it ultimately closed in 2015. What It Is Now: Still the darkest restaurant in Miami. The Lost Boy team did a really wonderful job of making sure Fox’s feels nostalgic for those who knew the old version and interesting for first-timers. Has it changed? Yes. Does the pay phone work? No. But it’s naturally evolving into a shinier version of what it used to be—a dive with good food, strong drinks, and all kinds of characters. The jukebox is still there, people have started carving their names in the panels again, and prime rib Thursdays live on. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Fox’s Lounge was opened in 2022 as a revival of the longtime dive bar and restaurant Fox’s Sherron Inn by Lost Boy & Co. in Miami." - Nadia Chaudhury
