About Fox's Den
The Spotlight on Fox's Den

Craft Cocktails & Comfort Food in the Heart of Annapolis

Fox's Den is a cozy and stylish gastro pub tucked just below street level on Main Street in downtown Annapolis. With exposed brick walls, candlelit tables, and a warm wood-accented interior, it offers a relaxed yet refined spot to unwind before or after a show. The menu leans into elevated pub classics—think artisan flatbreads, hearty small plates, and a rotating list of craft brews and signature cocktails. Smart casual is the standard here, and the vibe walks the line between laid-back and upscale.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fox's Den is just a short walk from several key Annapolis music venues, making it a convenient stop for a pre-show meal or post-gig drink. The ambience is lively but not overwhelming, which means you can still have a conversation while soaking in the buzz of fellow fans. Service is known to be friendly and efficient, ideal when you're on a schedule. The menu is perfect for sharing, and the bar makes a mean Old Fashioned if you're in the mood for something classic before the curtain rises.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the entrance can be easy to miss since it's located below ground level. It can get a bit warm inside during peak hours, and while the menu is high quality, it’s not the most expansive—so if you're after a wide range of entrees, you might find it a bit limited.
