The Intrepid Fox is home for those who are from the darker side... feel completely relaxed as soon as you walk in the doors. Shame the bar doesn't have more staff, had to wait for over 20 mins to get served recently... but the buzz & the music are worth it. SUCH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE !

I'm a regular at the Intrepid Fox, and was even before it moved from Soho to St. Giles High Street.



Much more room in the new place, the Soho I. F. Was a rather small Edwardian Pub, this new venue is the old Conservatory Bar and has many more seats. You can actually get to the bar now and then.



Love the place, especially now the smoking ban makes the atmosphere more transparent. Lots of Terry Gilliam-like fantasy artwork and sculptures, lots of Rock and Goth and Metal posters all over, and lots of weirdo people to watch and-or chat with. (The bar girls tend to be wonderfully tattooed, really organic artwork.)



I always chat with the guys on the doors, real cool calm characters who have always behaved like pros. You can't say that about many door staff in the West End.



Only problem is that it's been "discovered" by the trendy types and wannabes which means it can get crowded downstairs, and if the A/c breaks down it gets steamy in the Summer but the upstairs is still old-school, complete with pool table that has a dogleg to the right.



With a 2am licence and no entrance fee (except for occassional music gigs upstairs), it doesn't often make sense going onto a club.

I just would like to say that for the second time I tried to drink something at The Intrepid Fox and for the second time I was refused. I work until half ten and on Fridays I want to drink something to relax after all week working hard. But I can`t drink at The Intrepid Fox because I`m not wearing all black clothes or something with a band logo on, like Metallica - the security guy told me this name.


Well, if my clothes show what I think, I need a hospital because I`m a crazy. This kind of selection is ridiculous, and stupid. Sorry guys but you just lost one more customer.

The bouncer at The Intrepid Fox is a legend. The regulars only rule means no chavs/corporate types at The The Intrepid Fox - I once saw him make guys take their ties off before being allowed in!

Our review of The Intrepid Fox:

Brilliant!

The Intrepid Foxis the pub that we wished we had gone to every night. The people are a mix of metal punk and you name it. It works. The best time to get there is early if you want a place to sit, and it gets loud, but thats the charm. And to the guy who had a problem with the bouncer, you must have pissed him off. He was great, even let us take a pic with him.

If you go to Soho, you must, must, must go to The Intrepid Fox.

Me and a friend were told The Intrepid Fox is THE place to come for metal and heavy rock in west London. We jumped on the first tube available and made our way down Wardour Street in eager anticipaction... only to be told by the tw*-faced bouncer that it was a 'regulars only night'. On a Saturday!!!
We got the impression he only gave us this sh*t as he was surrounded by four of his moronic friends who thought he was some sort of god. Would have loved to visit The Intrepid Fox as it was highly recommended, but I guess if the door troll doesnt like the look of you then bye bye! Shame.
