The Foxtrot Inn

Who would have thought that down the rabbit hole you would find a fox?
Push past the big, white door to discover a euphoric wonderland nestled deep within the strait-laced suits and offices of Crows Nest.
Originally opened in 2011, The Foxtrot was acquired by husband and wife team David and Kailey Antico in 2016 after a fateful birthday party where David fell in love with the venue’s unique, old world vibe. The pair transformed the dive bar into a picture of refined yet relaxed elegance, the rest, as they say, is history.
The pair are backed by a team of talented bar and kitchen staff like head chef Abijit Panday – formerly of Hugos in Manly, and bar manager James Zollo who brings with him over 15 years industry experience.
Over the last two and a half years, The Foxtrot has established itself as the go-to bar on the North Shore, confirmed by tastemakers like Time Out and Concrete Playground.
How you experience The Foxtrot is entirely up to your taste. Feel like creating the illusion of a wood-panelled Aspen ski lodge? Then cuddle up next to our open fireplace with one of our bespoke cocktails like the cognac and cumquat cobbler and a expertly curated charcuterie featuring local and international cheese and cured meats.
Keen for more of a summer vibe? Then head up to our tropical rooftop with a couple of grapefruit and finger lime collins and one of our signature $10 pizzas or our delectable truffle and parmesan fries.
Our new summer cocktail menu makes the most of our local, seasonal fruits to create a collection that overflows with flavour and creativity with something to suit every customer’s tastes.
Not sure what you’re craving? All you have to do is sidle up to the bar to have a word with one of our talented bartenders; they’ll make sure you leave feeling satisfied.
Safe from Sydney City’s lockout laws, our house DJ’s are free to spin from 6pm-3am, carving a culture that is both energetic and unique.
Whether you’re after a quality quiet drink after work, a place to take that special someone for a tantalising meal, or simply a weekend spot to dance the night away, The Foxtrot is here to abide by your every desire. Just keep an eye out for the big white door….
