Fox Hotel
South Brisbane
THE FOX HOTEL IS CURRENTLY CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
South Brisbane's The Fox Hotel is a splendid 1920’s style pub (whose beginnings date back to its original incarnation as the Terminus in the 1880’s) that is almost a stand-alone attraction, with the jewel in the crown a rooftop bar with sweeping city vistas.
The ground floor bar retains much of its art deco charm and features marble bars, terrazzo floor and lead crystal chandeliers. Patrons can pull up a stool here, outdoors on the street furniture or in the hidden gem of a New York style courtyard to enjoy a cold beer and some good pub food.
Up the grand opulent staircacse can be found all sorts of original and restired nooks and crannies – ex guest rooms which are now elegant themed function rooms with chaise longues, a working art studio and a hat and coat stand that looks to have been there since 1920.
On the top floor is the quirky retro tennis club style Dandys Rooftop bar, which warrants a visit even if only for a quick drink and a look at the view. And lastly, annexed to the rear of the Fox Hotel on Fish Lane is Fish Lane Bistro for a more upmarket dining experience.
