Grey Fox Pub

This review is in 2 parts
1) The Bar — while many in my party said they served string drinks, I wouldn’t know. Being a responsible drinker, I don’t drink on an empty stomach. The bartender refused to let me order food (they serve frozen pizza. How hard is it to toss it in the oven?) So, I only drank diet coke. (I had planned on spending quite a bit on alcohol.
2) The Talent — GREAT! Funny, good dancing and AWESOME costumes. So. The money I was going to spend on alcohol went to tips for the girls.
I didn’t use the bathroom, so I don’t know if it was clean.

I want to start with saying that the performers and the bartender were great and that this review is not about them.
My friends and I had a table near a particularly rowdy audience member. At first we humored him by politely talking before the show and he brought us a bottle of champagne. However, it soon became clear he had no concept of personal space. He kept coming back to our table even though we were making it clear we wanted to be left alone to enjoy the show. Soon he was dancing shirtless next to us and making us uncomfortable even more. He then demanded my friend take his shirt off because «we owed him» for the champagne. It was less than an hour into the show but we took off because we couldn’t stand this treatment any longer. I was shocked to find out that this guy was not some random drunk but one of the Grey Fox owners. His behavior was so incredibly unprofessional and obnoxious that I don’t think I can ever recommend this bar to someone else because they may also receive this treatment.
Once again, performers and bartender were great. The Owner ruined the entire experience with his crass and rude behavior.

How utterly depressing. Came in by myself for a little self esteem boost. Met some people and chatted it up. The individual I sat next to apparently walked out on his tab. The bar tender said I was responsible for said person’s tab because I was with him, which I was not. apparently it’s not OK to make friends at this bar because you then become responsible for their personal tabs. He said I had drinks on that tab though all the while I had been drinking water. He then humiliated me and told me to leave. The drag show was fantastic and the queens we’re more than sweet. However the bar tender’s lack of know how really put a damper on my night. Needless to say I will not be returning, nor will I recommend anyone else visit. What terrible service. I’m placing 2 stars only for the show. Its sad they have such incompetence at their bar.

Cut my teeth on drag in Montgomery, Alabama. These gals here put on a great show. Cheap drinks — happy crowd. Not exactly my Gayla Delust superstar, but a very good show.

I will have to agree with some of the reviewers, this is probably the worst bar in St. Louis. To compare the Grey Fox Pub, would be to say that this is the gay version of Chuckee Cheese. The entertainment is ok to great, but the main part of being there, the drinks, are terrible. The worst in the business. The only redeeming part of this business would be the drag show. I love some of the drag performers and some do know how to put on a decent act.
However, when I ordered a margarita, the bartender came back with what looked like a small drink in a size that was almost like a dixie cup. The drink hardly tasted like a margarita, but a cup of cold piss. Even the friend that came with me agreed, nodding wincing while replying, «you are right that is no margarita.»
My recommendation? Come here for the show… and that is sometimes. But don’t come here for the drinks. If you have to get a cold beverage. Try a beer. These people cannot do a good mixed drink.

my fellow Unilocalers wouldn’t review this place according to the night they were there with me, so I will be more than happy to take the displeasure of reviewing it. I don’t like the Grey Fox, never have, never will, it’s as simple as that.
The place is not even in a halfway decent location, and the surrounding houses have a slew of gangsta-​ish looking thugs sitting on their porches or hanging out in the street. The building is in an old, and literally decaying building, there are holes in the floor from rotted wood where you can actually see into the basement. Upstairs is even worse, thankfully that mold ridden floor is closed to the public.
As far as the «Drag» goes, its not even drag, it’s female impersonation, most of the people in the audience don’t even know what real drag is anyway, so I will save that comment for another time.
I went to this bar to help celebrate my friends birthday, and that was the only reason for me being there, it is without a doubt, in my opinion anyway, THE worst gay bar in the city. thankfully I had my friends there with me to help ease the mild discomfort of hanging out in such a tired old bar…

I can’t really compare to drag in St. Louis, so take that into consideration if you’re trying to decide where to go.
First of all, the Grey Fox is in a pretty scary looking location. I seriously thought I was in the wrong place. However, once inside, the place is fairly clean (ya know… for a bar). The drink prices are fair. The drag is good. I don’t know that I’d say amazing, but I dunno… maybe I didn’t drink enough.
The vibe is cabaret style — everyone sitting at tables in the audience. I much prefer sets up similar to other drag clubs I’ve been to where the audience is in more of a «pit» looking up at the stage. Patrons mingle more, dance along, and are more involved that way.
Minus cool points for no Gaga or Cher and too much Celine. Seriously? I thought this was drag!
Would I come back again? Yes. But I’d probably consider checking out a new-​to-​me spot first.

I’ve had both amazing and absolutely horrific experiences at The Grey Fox. Michelle Mccausland can make or break a Grey Fox experience. I’ve seen her put on a few wonderful shows, but for the most part, she is a detriment to our community. She makes fun of lesbians so viciously, she has silenced audiences. She really helps the divide between gay men and women in our community grow. It’s really a shame. To add to that, the bartenders can often be seen screaming at customers and ignoring the female customers all together.

Fun dive gay bar with very interactive drag shows. A little generous on the pours and has been fun with some interesting nights following…

I definately prefer this place over The Complex for drag is because you see more drag kings. The girls that play some of my favourites are very sweet and by far more approachable than some of the queens at the Complex. The place is in an iffy kind of area and the place doesn’t look too fancy, but there haven’t been stupid incidences like at the Complex. I always enjoy the entertainment! Drinks are not that expensive either.

I went here last Saturday night to see my very first drag queen show. Let me tell you it was like what I saw in The Birdcage. The costumes were cool. The comedy was ok. The bar was really smoky, but I can expect that from any bar. Smallish venue, but it worked out great.

Great fun in South St Louis on a Saturday night! Bars aren’t my thing but we wanted to visit one or two gay bars in town to see what was going on. Everyone was friendly… nice mix of younger and older… and every shape and size… male and female and everything in between. Bartenders were VERY nice and helped us play our first game of KENO! What a hoot… we won back what we spent on it… first and last time thank you.
The Drag show was so much fun, but I really was hoping for some real live singing… so tired of lip synching… z-​z-​z-​z-​z. But in any case, the gowns were amazing, and great makeup, and hair… but the highlight of the evening was the most amazing HAT dress combo I have ever seen.
We laughed and laughed and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Keep up the good friendly work Grey Fox.

This is a small, fun, friendly gay bar. The men seem to be a little older than those in the Grove area, but all very friendly and welcoming, even to a straight couple like us. We went for the Miss St Louis Revue show, and had a great time. The MC was hysterical… I hope to go back to see him again.
There’s no cover for the bar but there was a $ 5 cover for the performance, which took place in a small theater in the room next to the bar.
I’ve read they have a free Saturday brunch.
