Fox Liquor Bar, Ashley Christensen's underground cocktail bar in downtown Raleigh, is closing its door to the public and becoming a private event space.
Why it matters: Fox, located below Beasley's Chicken + Honey, was one of Raleigh's most popular cocktail bars before the pandemic forced it to close in 2020.
Driving the news: AC Restaurants said Saturday, Aug. 3 would be Fox's last night under its current model.
The restaurant group did not provide comment on the bar's closure, but told its digital newsletter readers that it will now focus on hosting private events at the bar.
Yes, but: Downtown Raleigh's cocktail scene is still growing.
La Mala, a Mexican-inspired cocktail bar, and The Crunkleton, an outpost of the acclaimed Chapel Hill bar, are also under construction in the Glenwood South neighborhood.
