The Black Fox is named after a mythical creature created by mating a black bear and a fox, bred for its skills in magic. It was supposed to be the 7th team in Legends of the Hidden Temple, but unfortunately they had to remove the Black Foxes because harnessing the power of the Black Fox gave them too large an advantage, especially in the shrine
of the silver monkey.
The Black Fox Lounge harnesses the abilities of the Black Fox in its establishment. Located conveniently only a few blocks from the Dupont Circle, it serves as an upscale lounge and chill happy hour bar. With nice leather couches and tables in the rear of the bar and a cool bar with a mirror front, the ambiance is luxurious but comfortable. You also can’t beat the happy hour specials with $4 beers. After purchasing a WTD coupon, my buddy & I headed over for food and drinks. The bartenders were personal and funny, as we finished off a few lagers with a delicious plate of melted brie with brown sugar, walnuts, fruit, and fresh toast.
Around 6:00, live musicians started playing at the front of the bar, which was really cool. At that point, we decided to get stupid crazy fresh and try some of their signature cocktails. I went with the Black Fox, while my friend got the Jack Russell. These drinks were true to their name, as I became a magic creature, while my friend tried to hunt me. This lasted for approximately 3 days but ended in a stalemate when I forded a river which he couldn’t cross, but my family died of dysentery. So after that, we went back, where my drink came in a martini glass and was a crisp rye with fresh notes of chocolate and orange, and his drink was Maker’s Mark with crème de menthe and muddled mint—kind of like a whiskey mojito without the sugar. For dinner, I had the spinach salad which was delicious and he had the crab mac & cheese which was a helping of mac & cheese with an entire crab cake.
