Fox's Lounge Has Been Open Since 1946. Resy Just Put It on Its Miami Seasonal Picks List.
Fox's Lounge in South Miami is a dive bar that opened in 1946, closed at some point, and came back. It is now on Resy's Miami Seasonal Picks list alongside Walrus Rodeo, Christy's, Mandolin Aegean Bistro, and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. It is the only dive bar on the list. It is the oldest place on the list by decades.
Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Resy's Miami Seasonal Picks list is two pages long. It includes Walrus Rodeo, which has 5,100 reviews and a 4.8 rating. It includes Christy's, a Coral Gables institution that has been open for more than forty years and has 3,700 reviews. It includes Mandolin Aegean Bistro, which has 23,000 reviews. It includes L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, which carries the name of one of the most decorated chefs in the history of the profession. And it includes Fox's Lounge, a dive bar in South Miami that has been open since 1946.
Fox's is the only dive bar on the list. It is the oldest establishment on the list by decades. It went under at some point and came back. It now has a 4.4 rating on Resy with 639 reviews.
What the List Is Saying
A Seasonal Picks list is an editorial statement. Resy is not algorithmically surfacing the highest-rated rooms or the newest openings. It is making a curatorial choice about what is worth going to right now. When that list includes Fox's Lounge alongside Michelin-adjacent rooms and multi-thousand-review institutions, the platform is saying something specific: that a place does not have to be new, expensive, or celebrated to deserve your attention. It has to be worth going to. Fox's has been worth going to since before any of the other restaurants on that list existed.
The comeback story matters here. When a neighborhood bar that has been operating for eighty years closes and then reopens, it does not come back because of a marketing campaign or a press push. It comes back because the neighborhood wants it back. The 639 Resy reviews are the record of that. The Seasonal Pick is the confirmation.
South Miami Is Worth Paying Attention To
Fox's is not the only reason to look at South Miami right now. Kitchen 57 is there — 4.7 stars, 516 reviews, on both the Resy Brunch and Outdoor Dining lists. Secreto is there — 4.9 stars, 82 reviews, wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta, the highest-rated new entry on the Top Rated list. South Miami is one of the most underwritten dining and drinking neighborhoods in the city. Fox's Lounge has been there longer than any of them, and Resy just reminded you it exists.
Fox's Lounge is in South Miami. Book through Resy, or just show up — it has been doing that since before Resy existed.
