Sly Fox Tavern

This place is great!!! Cozy, neighborhood, friendly, little bar with a cool vibe and a GREAT beer selection. Can’t wait to go back!

Great, friendly little bar where «everybody knows your name». Reasonably priced drinks, and very welcoming staff. They don’t have a full menu, but great sandwiches, and Mary’s beef stew is legendary. Plus, Copeland will walk a pizza across the street for you, if that’s what you’re in the mood for. Great place to grab a few pints with friends, and watch a game. If you’re in the mood for Guinness, no one pours it better than Mary. Highly recommend!

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a bar that was more friendly, even the ones at home. Mike was bartending Wednesday night. Introduced himself and shook my hand. So did one of the patrons. To this I say «hats off, good on you.»
Great prices. And they carried my favorite scotch (Ardbeg), which you don’t normally see in a small neighborhood bar. I know this — it’s not mainstream scotch, and expensive to carry if it doesn’t sell. Again, Kudos, Sly Fox.
The detractor here is food — maybe they don’t serve much anymore? Seems they just have sandwiches, and they were out of bread. I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to some good pub food.
Like a lot of other reviews have said, this is a small neighborhood bar. Park on the street.
All in all, whenever I’m back in this area I will definitely be stopping back in.

Interesting local spot that is worth stopping into for a drink.
Pros:
Charming bartender
A good solid whiskey pour
Nice light atmosphere
Early in the evening it is not crowded
If you love sports you can pretty much view a TV no matter where you sit.
Prices are fair
Cons:
Parking lot is a bit of a challenge
Music is played at a deafening level.
This is a working man’s bar but one that is worth the visit. Finally if you are not a Bostonian I suspect this place might not be your cup of tea.

The Sly Fox is a very comfortable neighborhood pub located in West Quincy, less than 2 minutes from art 93
Open 7 days, the Sky Fox serves a home made lunch that’s always fresh and tasty. The bar has a great selection of beer and liquor along with the usual snacks.
The pub is an Irish themed atmosphere and there’s always a friendly face to strike up a conversation with, it’s a great place to visit

Awful
I usually like small bars with loud employees and patrons but this place is just white trash. The female bartender was a loud mouthed trash hound bitching about patrons a her own life problems and I could barely get service attempting to get a second drink.
Terrible service, atmosphere, and clientele. I will never go back.
Thanks

So my first post was removed so what I did say was true, they steal keno, the machine is hidden so u don’t see if u win. They she bartender in Friday nights over charges you for drinks. The place has local junkies that hang out. So if they keep erasing my posts I will keep posting in other blog sites, not only I as well as my five friends had a horrible experience stay away the food is microwaved

Yeah, the parking lot sucks if you don’t know how to drive your car. Park down the street and walk, or just don’t drink and drive and walk…
Nice little bar. They have a decent dartboard and an internet jukebox. Bartender is a nice fella. Only about 6 small round tables. Its tiny. Smallest bar I’ve been in.
Keno and scratch tickets.
Drinks are really cheap and its fun to go on a weekday after work for a beer or two.

I can never remember actually being inside this bar, but I know I have been here a lot because Mary, the owner, knows me by name. So with that being said… I guess I love this place!!!

This is a fun little bar to get drunk in.

Tucked away in Quincy. Friendly and welcoming staff that are quick to get new customers a drink. The place is kind of a hole. One shabby bathroom per gender. Might go back to give it another shot, but I’m not in a hurry.

Don’t drive here, there’s barely any place to park. Their «lot» can fit about 6 cars and no one will get out comfortably. I wasn’t here long enough to really enjoy much. They do have Keno which is rarity in Quincy bars (HA!) This does seem like it has plenty of patrons to stay afloat. The overall feeling was that everyone in this bar already knew so much about everyone.
I walked in, asked for a Budweiser, got a Coors light. No Credit Cards, which is a definite no-​no for my return. There was a guy out front who is obviously a painter and was either passed out or just really trying to smoke a cigarette on the tip of his lips. I did notice the jukebox but let’s face it, it’s only there for looks. The only bright part of the entire time there was when someone bought the entire bar a round, which was like buying 8 beers. Fortunately it was a Budweiser, but it didn’t matter because I left after one beer.

Quincy’s diamond in the rough. Patrons are friendly as are the bartenders, Mike in particular. A feel good place with a jukebox that you can just hang out and relax. Recommend it to anyone.

Who can say a bad thing about a local Irish pub owned by the Irish? Prices are reasonable, food is homemade & tasty, & the jukebox is nice on a Saturday night. Ages vary from the 20’s to the 50’s & 60’s & everyone gets along. Great dart board & they’ve got Keno if you like to play. Great place to hang with friends & meet new people.

I love this place. It is pretty much the ONLY thing that’s walking distance from my apartment and my roommate and I love to go there at midnight when we get off work after a stressful day. It’s tiny, most of the patrons all know each other, either from drunken conversation or by sight, and the reviews about the «drunks» there are obviously not made by people that go there often. Of course, there are drunks present, but they are regulars and are non threatening and sometimes just overly friendly. Mostly it’s just people who are going there after work in groups to wind down.
Mary (and her establishment) is a shining gem in the black hole that is West Quincy. Always friendly and welcoming, taking time out from slinging beer to make small talk.
I’m not sure that I should be mentioning this, but every time we order a shot, Mary makes sure to leave the tumbler behind, which, at times, has contained an extra SIX shots within. She knows how to take care of her regulars. Due to this, it was over six months before I even remembered the walk home from the Sly Fox (I attribute this to the shots building my tolerance).
Mary and Kristen are never shy about mixing up whatever concoction your mind can dream up and even making suggestions about what could make it better. Once they get to know you and your drinking tastes, they are also keen to use you as a human guinea pig for their own creations, which is awesome!
I also should add one thing, when people come to visit us, usually the first night we go to the Sly Fox, because people are tired from travel and it’s easy and convenient. I love the Sly Fox, but it always surprises me that this is the bar that sticks out in everyone’s minds, this is the place that people make note of when planning a return and comment «we have to make sure we go back to the Sly Fox». No argument here!
The only thing that could make it better is one of those touch screen video game things… We need to get some erotic photohunt up in the Sly Fox!!!

Just stopped in for a drink, but all-​in-​all, we’re fans! The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was very «pubby». I’m not sure that I’d eat here because I wasn’t really impressed with the menu, but if you are looking for a drink and like the pub atmosphere, this just might be your place. We’ll definitely return!

Great bar. Small, relatively quiet and a good place to relax with friends and a Guiness or three. There is no kitchen but they do have soups and other food. Wicked nice owner/​bartender who always makes you feel welcome. She also does a good job ob keeping the drunks and riff raff out.

6÷6÷2010 UPDATE:
Mary proved once again how hard she rocks when she bought us a round of delicious raspberry creamy something or other shots last night. i love me some mary.

The only sly fox up in this joint is Mary the lovely and charming proprietor. She makes a mean chicken salad sandwich and if you’re lucky she will bestow you with one of her signature winks.
Sometimes when I am sitting in a pub on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon I start to feel a bit guilty. Shouldn’t I be out getting fresh air taking a stroll on the beach or cooking a Sunday lunch or taking a day trip somewhere? Well the Sly Fox takes away all that needless guilt because this place is airy and bright. It’s a small little cozy place but its full of light and looks out over a lovely park across the street. You feel like you’re just hanging cozy cottage with the wooden floors and the freshly painted walls and with the front door open and the sunlight streaming in you may as well be on vacation in this lovely little spot.
hungry? mary can cook! fresh home made stuff, so when your starving and still hung over from the night before and the lovely Mary brings you out a bowl of chicken soup and a sandwich– its like grandma tucking you in with a hot water bottle on your birthday.

We had a really great time at the Sly Fox. It wasn’t crowded last Saturday. but we were there early. between 8−10pm. We didn’t have any food but spent most of our time playing darts and watching the Bruins.
The only cons are that they don’t take credit cards (but they do have an ATM machine) and they only have a few beers on tap. and none of them are anything exciting. But my pint of Stella was only $ 3.25!

This what you call a true neighborhood bar! this is one of the best bars to go relax and grab a cold Guiness, the owner or bartender will go out of there way to make sure you are happy. The Sly Fox is a place I highly recommend and consider trying if you haven’t already!!! Don’t be scared by the location or the people, its what you make out of it because I can tell you the staff will make sure you are having a super time… Don’t forget to try there fa famous beef stew or maybe even the ham sandwich.
SLY FOX RULES!!!
