The Best Food Town You’ve Never Heard Of in Alaska | Eater

"A historic-style saloon that revives the town’s original early-20th-century watering hole and serves as a primary social gathering spot, notable for holding a full liquor license within a wide radius; the venue has expanded indoor space, a built-out deck, and an outdoor performance area hosting weekend live music and occasional open-mic nights, making it a lively meeting place for both residents and visitors." - Jeremy Pataky

Overall our experience was good. Drinks were relatively cheap, they had a 90s cover band that was a riot, indoor/outdoor seating, and flushing toilets. Three stars because we did witness the bartender be quite rude to multiple sets of foreign tourists. He outwardly yelled at multiple for being in the way and was just overall not nice to them. Felt wrong.

We ordered the nachos with the brisket…holy cow! They were the best nachos we’ve ever had anywhere hands down. Chips were light and crispy, brisket was incredible, the cheese mix and all the fixings were top notch. Absolutely recommended for sure. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing food! Great staff. BUT, be careful buying drinks/shots for others... they looked at my 'tab' at one point, and put me on "slowdown." I was still allowed to be there, and drink, but no longer allowed to buy shots for my new friends. That was a big bummer.

In a town full of loose and roaming dogs they don’t allow leashed dogs on their giant patio nor inside, although they do provide a water bowl, which weird nice. They don’t allow any dogs and don’t provide a space for them in a town off gird and a no place to leave a dog since no cars are allowed. Hopefully one day they change this

Food was pretty good but thought the portions were a bit small for the price. Service was a tad slow also. We were starving after a long day so it was good enough.

They have a 2 for the price of 1, burghers on Friday. The food was good and the beer cold. Enjoyed it and the price after a long day. Good atmosphere, service + the 2 friendly dogs were sweet too.

Staff, locals and guests of all the nearby lodges come together at the end of the day to relax, visit or listen to great music. There is a feeling of community here that I've never experienced anywhere before. Even the town dogs get along!

Really neat place, good beer, and only $10 for a souvenir glass. Saw Neil Darish there and he was generous enough to let us take a picture with him. Thanks!
