With long summer nights, and adventure at your back door, living in Alaska has a lot of benefits, but it can feel like it’s a bit short on entertainment, especially if you are wanting to hit the town. And there’s nothing worse than walking into a place just to realize it’s not your type of scene. So, whether you are a looking for a place to have a casual beer with friends or dance the night away on a Saturday night in Anchorage, the list below has a spot perfect for you.
This is not your ordinary pizza place. With more than 20 locally brewed beers on tap and pizza coming hot out of the oven until midnight, Moose’s Tooth is the perfect spot to have a late meal with friends.
If you’re looking for a place with live music that’s great to dance to, Williwaw is it. This hot spot, located in downtown Anchorage, is the perfect combination of entertainment and party, hosting different bands or DJs every Saturday night. If you need some fresh air, head upstairs to the rooftop bar for a nighttime view of the city.
While this aptly named spot may seem like a restaurant during the day, on Friday and Saturday nights, it becomes the classic American bar. Think small spaces, limited bar stoles, regulars, and a lot of atmosphere. It’s a bit like walking into the set of “Cheers”.
This is the place to be is you are looking to class it up on a Saturday night. Located inside the Hilton Hotel, this swanky bar is a great spot to grab a glass of wine and still be in the cool crowd.
If champagne is your drink of choice or if oysters are your weakness, this small but quirky bar is your spot. I won’t give it away, but this bar holds a secret and if you find yourself needing to use the powder room, you may want to explore a little bit on the way back to your seat.
This is a dive bar to beat all other dive bars. You can’t put your finger on what makes this place special, but the small establishment in downtown Anchorage can always be found filled with lively patrons, good drinks, and laughter, on the weekends.
While this place might seem like a great spot to grab lunch, if you venture deeper, down to the basement, you’ll find a good ol’ American nightclub. When the hour gets late this underground spot turns up dance music and turns down the lights.
If sports are your thing, Eddie’s is your place. This classic sports bar offers food, drinks, plenty of screens, and live music when the game’s over.
This Irish pub is the perfect place for a beer with friends on a Saturday night. This place may be crowded on the weekend but it’s well-lit and you won’t have to shot to order a drink… unless it’s St. Paddy’s day.
Humpy’s is the place to be if you are looking for an Alaskan experience. You can order fresh caught halibut while you enjoy live music, great drinks, and good company.
