Sly Fox

The Write-Up

The full story

Sly Fox is a gritty, punk-rock dive on North Orange Avenue where the regulars call themselves a built-in family. The basement stage keeps local bands loud, the beer stays cheap, and the kitchen surprises everyone: vegan hot dogs guests call a gift from god, vegan burgers and loaded tater tots. It is warm, unpolished and completely itself, a home base for Orlando's alternative crowd.
