What people say, in short
Many people recommend The Fox Hotel, and a few commenters call it great. One patron describes the monthly Beers for Queers night as busy and full of performances, saying the food is good if you arrive early, though the free nights are packed at peak hours. One commenter who names the Collingwood pub mentions a hand pump, another mentions coin-operated pool tables, and a third notes it holds gender-inclusive events. A separate commenter is unsure what it is like without that event.
