Acclaimed Raleigh chef Ashley Christensen's Fox Liquor Bar is reopening for the first time since its pandemic closure in 2020.
Driving the news: Christensen said the underground bar will reopen May 19.
- In the meantime, Christensen has remodeled the business and retooled its menu.
- Expect items like Carolina reaper fries, Deviled egg salad toast, a fried chicken and waffle sandwich as well as a rotating crop of cocktails and mocktails.
Why it matters: Fox Liquor Bar — located underneath Christensen's popular brunch spot Beasley's Chicken + Honey — was previously one of downtown's most popular cocktail bars.
- Its return is a welcome sight for a downtown core still charting its recovery from the effects of the pandemic and the rise of remote work.
