Price: Expensive
• British • The Junction
Booked 16 times today
General Public is inspired by trying to imagine what an upscale English pub would be if it had the heart of an American brasserie (and was open 11 to 11). It’s also going to signal a little bit of steakhouse, but not too much. And finally, it will look behind itself at the Black Hoof, which you will see reflected in James Santon’s menu here and there. In terms of vibe, the main floor is ‘everything’s gone green’, with lush comfortable banquette seating, warm wood, and barstools designed for long conversations over many cocktails. Upstairs you’ll find a completely different space that transports you to a peachy 80s dream. Somehow these two halves make perfect sense, and complement each other in a seamless conversation, where neither wins the argument, but you really do have to see it! See you soon!

    Great food and service. However, it was a bit noisey. Due to the fact their were Arsenal soccer fans there. Enjoying the thrashing they were giving to my beloved Tottenham Hotspurs😭.

    We had a lovely time but when we got there, they showed us to a table set for 3 and we were 4. We had to remind them to bring another place setting. But other than that the service and food was great

    We love coming to The Fox on John for the Wednesday night pasta and wine special. It’s a great value and the food is delicious. The staff are always helpful and courteous. The place is always full but the noise level never makes conversation difficult. We strongly recommend it.

    Perfect location for a group of ladies to split some appetizers, pub grub and bevvies before catching a show at Mirvish. Menus were a bit sticky. When we first arrived, there seemed to be some issues with staffing, but the second person that took care of us was outstanding.(not sure what happened to the first one I think she went on break or left or something?) food was tasty and cooked as to what we would’ve expected.  not outstanding or anything but absolutely perfect pub experience. Would recommend.
