For my recent trip to Anchorage, I was traveling with a coworker who never been to Alaska.
One of the key stops, is always to go to the Captain Cook Hotel, and go to the Crow's Nest for a drink and appetizer.
We did do that. As you can see by my photo, I had the Elmer T Lee, bourbon, which was a really good price, and my coworker had a local beer, which he really enjoyed.
The bartender, Evelyn, was great, very engaging, explaining many things to us.
As for the food choice, we ordered off a bar menu, and had the local burger, which came with some fresh made crisps.
For the burger, it was not my favorite. The meat was not seasoned very well, or did not have a lot of flavor. The pork confit on top, was bland and a bit mushy in my opinion. I couldn't tell if it was a fish product or pork. Usually, you don't confuse those two.
We ate it all, as we were hungry, but all in all, I would've preferred just a basic burger with some bacon and lettuce, tomato, etc.
All my opinion.
Great ambience in the bar, there were not many people when we got there, actually there were none. The bar did fill up with a couple other people at the bar, enjoying the view, which is amazing, along with the cocktails and really good liquor pours that they have.
