What Foxtail is like
Foxtail is described by the hotel as a moody, speakeasy-style cocktail bar hidden behind velvet curtains in the lobby of Arlo SoHo. The space is mid-century–glamour in tone and seats about 100 guests.
Expect dim lighting, low seating and a lounge atmosphere intended for late-evening drinks and music rather than quick table turnover or full formal dining.
- Speakeasy-style layout: curtain entrance from the lobby
- Capacity: roughly 100 seats
- Decor: velvet curtains and low lounge seating
Where Foxtail sits inside Arlo SoHo
Foxtail is located on the ground floor of Arlo SoHo, tucked behind velvet curtains in the lobby area near the 24-hour SoHo Bodega and reception. If you enter the hotel at 231 Hudson Street, look to the lobby for the bar entrance.
Because Foxtail is a lobby-level venue, you can combine an evening here with other on-site options such as Lindens, ART SoHo on the 11th floor, The Library and The Courtyard.
- Ground-floor, behind lobby curtains
- Near SoHo Bodega (24-hour grab-and-go) and the hotel reception desk
- Easy to reach from guest rooms and communal spaces
Live music, nights and atmosphere
Foxtail runs weekly live-music programming; the hotel notes live jazz nights and specifically live music on Saturday nights after 9:00 p.m. The schedule is set by the property and may change, so check with the front desk or the hotel website for the latest listings.
The bar’s late-hours focus makes it a common spot for post-dinner drinks or a nightcap after ART SoHo’s rooftop service closes.
- Live jazz is a regular feature
- Saturday nights have music after 9:00 p.m.
- Atmosphere: late-evening, lounge-focused
