I have been to hundreds of bars. But this one is among my top 5 of places to get a drink. I don’t remember the bartender’s name but she is very tolerant of people having a good time.

Fantastic local bar. Favorite of pilots staying at the adjacent Marriot. Bartenders are really fun and great people. If you come to Anchorage, don't miss this place.

My family always visit this bar. My husband took me here 2 weeks ago as he became a regular at the bar and I enjoy the atmosphere, and groups of people are friendly. I meet Jen through my husband and she is awesome. Sweet lady running the bar, I don't drink alcohol I order Coke 🥴, I enjoy everyone's company and got to meet the old folks. No trouble maker and always a good times here, I get to enjoy the night without looking over your shoulder for trouble. Pool table on site great to enjoy and learning from the old folks. If you want a quiet night out and enjoy a good company and play pool this bar is the 1.

The Bartender Danny was AMAZING!!! My friend was getting white girl wasted, and he cut her off and fed her some pizza! Really made me happy to know that he was looking out for her 😇 He was also playing some great tunes 👌

Danny the bartender was AMAZING and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. He looked out for us and took care of us from the moment we walked in. He is truly special and would definitely come back. 10/10 recommend.

Iconic Alaska dive bar. Prices are decent, bar tenders are good company and it’s definitely mostly locals there. My favorite bar in town for sure!

Best Dive bar in Anchorage. Very reasonable prices and world’s ok-est bartenders. used to be a cool place when they allowed dogs, but the new management sucks. Their food is popcorn.
