Very cool, cozy, and friendly spot – family-owned with a welcoming vibe. The food menu is limited, but what they do offer is excellent. We tried the pretzel and grilled cheese, and both were absolutely delicious! They even allow outside food tho.
The beer selection is unique and tasty – the Czech dark beer in particular was outstanding. Highly recommend giving it a try!

The drinks here were top notch, with a wonderfully wide selection of stuff I had never even seen before. The staff was to me the best part, all of them were super fun, an absolute joy to talk to. The tables were gorgeous, live edge and resin filled, and the interior of the place was very pretty and well designed, having a very cozy and warm atmosphere.
If not for the short trip, I would be coming back here very often. The only issue I have is I can’t give 6 stars 🙂

A great place to come by, hang out and chat it up. For sure it is THE spot for furries to visit and get some of the wonderful selection of drinks. The owner, Iku, is a wonderful guy, he let us tinker with a 3D printer in the back area that we picked up earlier in the day.

Finally got a chance to drop by this spot with some friends while on a trip up north.
Staff were all incredibly friendly, and all the drinks I tasted were delicious!
There’s even a cafe next door where we stopped for brunch the morning after, and I had a delicious egg sandwich
Thanks for the tasty bites!

Vulpine is a terrific addition to a shopping center that has a lot to offer. Cozy and welcoming, we found enjoyable food and drinks, particularly impressive since the kitchen seems to only contain a panini press and a microwave.
The Pumpkin Goat Dip was chevre based, and served warm. Sandwiches came out of the press with a perfect amount of crispness and warmth.
The beer selection wasn’t huge, but there was something for everyone.
The local resident who introduced us to Vulpine said they may be expanding into the space next door, which should be a good thing, since there weren’t a huge number of tables to accomodate the crowd that has discovered this place.

Stopped here while on vacation with friends. This bar had a funky atmosphere with plenty of art on the signs, on the fridges, and in other areas. The bar and seating areas were immaculately clean. They had some board games for patrons and they had just opened a coffee shop that is accessible from inside the bar. I’m not a big drinker, but I did order a flight of drinks, which tended to have fun animal-derived names and were tasty!

Neighborhood chillaxing type place.
The artwork is great, and the atmosphere is really non- stress. Stay 15 minutes or in my case 3+ hours connecting with my friend I hadn’t seen in forever!
Food was great- service was very slow- but like I said, we occupied our table for like 3 hours- so I expect that’s par for the course and don’t go here if you are in any kind of a rush.
Otherwise- they have board games and art you can purchase. The fox mural is amazing !
The beer cheese was awesome, bottle price was fair on wine and bubbly. The turkey panini was super tasty too!

I love the Vulpine decor and the new Burrow next door. I’ve been here several times and the experiences haven’t been good, so unfortunately, I won’t be back. The music is WAY too loud, rendering the comfy chairs by the front windows in both the taproom and the Burrow unusable. The food is overpriced and meh. This last time, there were 4 other people besides us 2 in both sides (taproom and Burrow), none of whom had food. We ordered a hot soft pretzel. It took almost an hour to make it to our table — I can’t imagine they make these from scratch — and was overcooked and hard. The cheese served with it was greasy and not flavorful. We would have sent it back, but had finished our drinks and weren’t about to wait another hour for a replacement.

Nice, cozy place. Good selection wine, beer and spirits. Food is excellent, but have limited choices. Lots of natural wood, wildlife art, good music and friendly staff. If it’s crowded, it can get very noisy with all the wood. But, if the weather allows, you can always go to the outdoor seating.

Wonderful vibes, excellent service and amazing drink selection for a taphouse! I have a sweet tooth but the eldertail wine tail is wonderful
