Gonna throw back some Harvey Wallbangers and swap embellished stories about the ladies.
The Fox Den, a 1970s-influenced cocktail lounge, opened in early February 2025 at the southern edge of Redondo Beach, offering beachgoers and locals a comfortable place to gather for easygoing drinks and vibes. The new bar comes from Seth Weiss, Keiran Harrington, and Brian Duff, the owners of Hermosa Beach’s Fox and Farrow and the adjacent Underground.
Located in the former Pats II space, the transformation into the Fox Den took two years to complete. During the buildout process, Weiss described Fox and Farrow to designer Sage Allard as the type of place Don Draper would call “spectacular” if he woke up in 2025. Allard took Weiss’s concept and ran with it, installing terracotta walls, emerald green zellige tile accents, and a long bar lit with Sputnik pendants. Gone are the old Pats II booths, replaced by loungey spaces for groups, with clusters of oversized round velvet chairs in between black leather seats that might have been in an airport back in Draper’s day. The entryway walls are lined with fake fur, a nod to the popularity of fur coats in the ’70s, and Barbie dolls are affixed to the restroom doors.
The menu, designed by Harrington, Duff, and Harrington’s twin brother Kirk, boasts a number of ‘70s classics, including a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Godfather, Negroni, and Moscow Mule. House cocktails include an easy-drinking Gin Gypsy, made with gin, St. Germain, lime juice, muddled cucumber, and mint; the Pink Panther, which combines vodka, Chambord, fresh squeezed lemon, cream, and Luxardo cherry into a drink reminiscent of a boozy push-pop; and The Han Solo, an updated Boulevardier with bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth, Angostura Bitters, and orange peel. Beers include several local names, such as a Hop Saint pale ale and El Segundo’s Mayberry IPA. The wine selection offers sparkling choices, some California Sauvignon Blancs and other white wines, and a handful of Paso Robles and Central Coast reds, all of which fall in the $14 to $16 range.
