2. Fox & Hound English Tavern
City: Germantown, TN
Category: Nightlife
Telephone: (901) 624-9060
Address: 847 Exocet Drive
Description: These popular watering holes are less like English taverns and more like large American sports bars, with plenty of pool tables and big screens, where you can catch the big games of the moment. There’s a good selection of beer, servers are very attentive, and the pub fare is better than most. The Fox & Hound draws a good, yuppie-ish crowd both for happy hour and later in the evening. The Sanderlin location is in Sanderlin shopping center, next to the East Memphis Hilton; the Exocet location is near the intersection of Germantown Parkway and Fischer Steel Road.
