15/10 definitely recommend! Before we even ordered we knew we had to come back. So many great options. The food was AMAZING! The service was great. I ordered a drink that sounded nice and the server mentioned it was a hot drink on a hot day and offered to have it made over ice. We ate way past when we were full because it was so good! Going again for date night next week!

Great service though a bit slow to get food after ordering. It's busy on game days. Food was very good overall. Burger was yummy and well seasoned but a bit dry, the crab cake sandwich was so big and very yummy, the grilled cheese was great, and the turkey sandwich was delicious on sourdough bread. It's a greasy spoon kind of place. Definitely more of a drink and eat kind of place, good drink prices and happy hour options. A bit pricey for just a big meal. I'd return if in the area - especially after a hike! Just be careful on weekends and game days - there will probably be a wait!

Fun, Alaska-themed pub/restaurant/bar. Good food. The fish and chips, their signature specialty, was very good. The fish was super dense. Different from British fish and chips. I had a daily special bulgogi burger. Great fusion of tastes, worth trying! The other dishes our party ordered looked amazing. Very good presentation. The seasoned fries were good. Entree sizes were small for the price. I had to fill up on fries, the entree did not. The bar was full and the bartender was working hard to fill nonstop orders. Service was fine, no complaints. 5 stars for the Alaska decor. Fun! My only gripe is $/serving sizes, but the taste was excellent. It's a small pub. Get there early. It filled fast.

This is a cool spot to get a meal with an Alaskan theme. They have a bunch of nice options on the food and drinks menu - the knik burger and the beef burgundy were decent. They have happy hour specials so we tried some wings - they were also decent. We'd come back here again for sure. Parking is easy - there's a free lot.

I was born and raised in Alaska but haven't been back since I left with my family in 2010, after 39years... This place felt like home. The food was astounding and we sat beneath a picture of the Anchorage skyline- right beneath the Hotel Captain Cook, where my mother cooked for years... Totally worth the drive from Canon, and we will definitely be back again.

We met friends for dinner, every dish was amazing! The Brussels with bacon and Poppers were the perfect starters. Then the Barrow Beef Burgundy brought it home. Hannah was awesome and treated us like friends after just meeting us. We will be back!

Cool vibe. Food was good. Beer was cold. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would come back again. I got a double Patty burger (Denali) the patties were a bit large to go double. Would have presumed they were more smash burger style. But good.

Finally made it to the 49th and I wish we had gone sooner. The elk & beef meatloaf was phenomenal, the bacon green beans were heaped with bacon and perfectly cooked. The wedgie burger was also pretty great. Loaded with Bleu cheese. Fries were nice and crispy.
