The Fox, a new British style pub in downtown Anderson located at 312 South Main Street, opened it's doors in time to bring in the new year.  They feature authentic British food along with more Americanized dishes, a large variety of beers from around the world and local breweries at their oversized bar, and they even have dueling pianos!  Check them out and say hello to my favorite bartender there, Ian King!
