Located in Collingwood, Melbourne, stands The Fox Hotel – a former pub that’s undergone a crafty transformation. But don’t let its storied brickwork fool you. Behind those walls, the old school vibes are mixing (and mingling) with a refreshingly contemporary LGBTQ+ spirit.

Once a humble watering hole, this foxy establishment now boasts a culinary experience that's anything but old hat. Whether you're a fervent foodie or just in for a nibble, their menu dazzles with modern gourmet delights. Did someone say Vegetarian Burrito? Oh yes, it's not just talked about – it's raved about. And for the adventurous palate, the Moreton Bay Bug Pie is a must-try. Fear not, herbivores and allergy-afflicted, The Fox ensures everyone has a place at the table.

But what’s a pub without its liquid gold? Beer enthusiasts, prepare to be wooed. They boast 100 chilled varieties waiting patiently in the fridge, and rotating taps proudly displaying the finest local and international microbrews, it's a beer lover’s utopia.

Come rain, hail, or the glorious Australian sunshine, The Fox is the place to let your hair down. Catering to the vibrant queer and gay community of Melbourne, it’s not just a spot – it’s THE spot.

So, step into The Fox Hotel. Where old meets new, food meets fun, and everyone meets everyone. Because at The Fox, the charm is vintage, but the experience? Timelessly unforgettable and will be a real fun time!
