WE'RE BUILDING A BISTRO. COME BUILD IT WITH US.
The Intrepid Fox is a new bistro opening this month in Madrid in the Tirso de Molina neighborhood. Our vision is to be a neighborhood spot where the focus is on unique tapas, delicious cocktails, craft beer, and natural wine.

You should be comfortable leading a team, teaching others, talking to guests, managing the practical side of a bar and getting stuck in during a busy service.
Our drinks program will focus on craft beers, natural wines, classic ingredient-forward cocktails, tasty non-alcoholic options, and homemade sodas.
