SILVER FOX BAR & GRILL

Walk up Castle Hill and you'll find yourself in a space that doesn't take itself too seriously but absolutely knows what it's doing. Silver Fox trades in the kind of bartending that actually respects your palate—proper spirits, thoughtful mixology, nothing fussy—paired with the sort of grilling that makes you understand why people get passionate about their meat. It's the sort of place locals have quietly claimed for themselves, where you can sit at the bar for a single craft cocktail or settle in for the full experience. The fact it's sitting pretty at 4.9 stars on limited reviews suggests word-of-mouth here is doing all the work.
