Blue bacon burger with tots
Julie S.

Atmosphere is friendly, staff even better. Food was fast, fresh and plenty. Thank you for the service

Great dive vibe
Joy L.

Since I moved to UMed, I've been wanting to try the Blue Fox. I was out hoofing it one day in the late afternoon and decided to grab some pizza at Joe's followed by a drink at the fox. The late afternoon crow at the bar is mellow and friendly. The bartender is friendly and attractive. The fox has a very, safe college dive bar vibe. It's dark and homey with affordable, average drinks. I'm not a crowds person, so the afternoon crowd was my speed, but things heat up here in the evening.

Tw table has ACTUAL bottles stuck inside.

Did you know the Rams NFL football team left for St Louis in 1994? Well I do. I was prompted to look it up when I saw the decor in this place and realized that it was so old that the Oilers were STILL a football team and the Rams were in LA (I know they're back! Shhh!) Drinks are cheap. Chips and salsa and chips and queso are okay. Good prices for quantity. Karaoke on Friday is fun. In case you're wondering, there is more than one mic for groups to do songs together. The book in the back with all the song choices is HUGE. Get there early. We arrived 90 minutes early and there was ONE table left. By the tine we left it was standing room only. Men's bathroom is super awkward. You'll see. Try to wash your hands.

I've been here twice now, and on this last visit I was really reminded about why I should come here…read moremore often. This place is cozy, cute, and has an absolutely mind blowing craft cocktail selection that frequently rotates. I am big into mixology & craft cocktails. Sadly the scene in Anchorage for cocktails is pretty bleak. We only have a handful of places with a truly decent bar program. With liquor licenses being absolutely insane to purchase I understand why most restaurants opt for a beer & wine only license, but it still makes me sad. This is a distillery first so they are producing their liquors on site. They honestly don't have to have the cocktail program that they do seeing as they aren't a bar, and yet they are absolutely killing it in the creativity department. On my most recent visit I convinced my new yelp friend, Jasmine, to head over here for some Black Friday libations. She entrusted me to be her first espresso martini drinking partner so I had to deliver. When I saw Anchorage distillery had one on their December cocktail list I knew we had to try it. I was not disappointed. It was an extremely well balanced espresso martini. I also got a cinnamon moonshine cocktail called ugly Christmas sweater. This one had toasted marshmallow & maple syrup. The flavors were a bit more watered down in this one, but I think that's just because it was over shaken. Overall this cocktail program is impressive. The bartenders are knowledgeable & efficient. The space is also cozy. Next time you're looking to try a new spot head on over to Anchorage Distillery!

Great way to start a date night, girls night, or any outing with friends. Smaller interior space…read morewith a cozy feeling. We have been making this a regular stop before dinner lately & for our Sunday outing. Drinks are very well made & many good options to choose from. With mixed drinks & tastings Whisky, Gin, vodka. Also a little retail area to purchase all there products including shirts, sweatshirts & glass wear, drink mixing bundles of some of there specialty drinks. Staff is amazing very friendly, informative & good at making the drinks. Also a fun spot to bring your out of town visitors for a couple drinks.

Some of the best ramen and Japanese dishes that I've ever had. (I've had a lot) This is a seven…read morestar restaurant, with the exception of one thing. The food was perfect. The service was on point. They have a massive whiskey bar downstairs. They have an excellent menu of craft cocktails. They also have excellent mocktails. I will critique their bourbon selection only because they have a number of bourbons that are 18+ years old that they're trying to sell for Scottish and Japanese prices which are based on reality. Bourbon is not any good out of the barrel past 12 to 14 years. Corn is not the same as grains. The sugar is degrade and get dark after 14 years in spite of some companies selling some of their older swill, trying to get rid of it as premium. They were very nice. I gave the bartenders and recommendations of things that actually are worth that kind of money in the bourbon world. There was plenty to find that was not expensive and quite excellent. The only negative? The Host stand at the top of the stairs needs people who have more pleasant personality. How you greet people in the restaurant is absolutely imperative. It sets the tone for the whole meal. The whole experience. They seem to think that their job is to shoot people off because the restaurant is booked, but they do it in a manner that will make sure people don't come back. It's a little too New York curt. Smiling,and some good grace, would not hurt either of them. When they tell you, it's time to be seated, engaging people and making eye contact would certainly also help them look a little more human as well. Do make reservations. Otherwise, the wait time can be very long. Outstanding food! Absolutely worth passing through the gargoyles at the front door

The hostess stand staff is completely incompetent. I showed up with no reservation, expecting a…read morewait but they handled it horribly. First they said they were moving things around implying it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later I went up and he said 5-10 minutes to wait. 15 minutes later still nothing and they tell me another 30-45 minutes and acted appalled that I had checked in. Not worth dealing with them so I left. Ambiance seemed great but ramen isn't worth rude staff so I left.
