Vicious Fishes Tap & Kitchen

Downtown Fuquay-Varina’s Vicious Fishes Tap & Kitchen anchors the brewery’s home turf with a taproom that doubles as a full-service restaurant and bar, pairing juicy IPAs, fruited sours, and crisp lagers with wood-fired plates in a polished neighborhood setting. Locals gather inside the historic storefront and on the patio to taste the latest brews alongside chef-driven comfort food.

The culinary crew builds flavor through the brewhouse, steaming mussels in pilsner, braising roast beef in brown ale, and folding pale ale mayo into smoked beef tartare. Shareable snacks, from IPA-brined pickles to wood-fired platters, keep larger parties fed while hearty sandwiches and pub classics satisfy solo cravings.

Reservations are encouraged for peak nights, but the team also offers convenient to-go ordering and a reservable patio that seats up to a dozen guests, making it easy for diners to enjoy the beer-paired menu however they like. Between attentive table service, brewery-fresh pints, and a relaxed downtown location, Vicious Fishes is a ready-made hangout for Triangle craft-beer fans.
