Sharing ownership and a front door with a leather-heavy Dupont sex shop (not that there's anything wrong with that), the Fox is a hospitable cave dominated by a mural taken from the Watergate's bygone bar, and serving up bites like Cajun Spiced Scallops and Grilled Asparagus with olive oil/Parmesan/jumbo lump crab. Their ten specialty 'tails include the eponymous, rye/dark creme de cacao/orange bitters "Black Fox", the apple brandy/Grand Marnier/sugar rim "Dupont Sidecar", and the bourbon/green creme de menthe/fresh mint "Jack Russel". Caution: may result in leg-humping.
