    How do I give this spot 10 stars?!? I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. This new distillery in Anchorage was just opening for it's summer hours recently. While still limited, it will be open every day of the week for your enjoyment. I came here with a Groupon for a tasting + cocktail. The woman behind the bar was so incredibly personable and knowledgeable. The flight was three types of vodkas (again, they are new, so nothing aged): blueberry, fireweed, and a third kind. I was super skeptical about the blueberry one (usually they all seem to have a sweet taste or a syrup-y after taste), but this one was so delicious it actually was the reason behind why I chose the aurora borealis as my cocktail of choice. If you haven't seen my pics of it: check it out! Flavored/colored ice... whaaaaa? :D The drink list was plentiful and vibrant, the seating was comfortable, the patio was just about to open, the bathroom had one way glass (just remember to turn it on!), and the distillery was gorgeous. What a true hidden gem where you wouldn't think to look. Well done!

    This was our first visit here, we had a very pleasant experience. Cece gave us some background about each vodka prior to pouring our tastings. The ambiance was relaxing, it wasn't crowded for a Saturday evening, just what our group needed to finish a fun-filled day and cheering at the Iditarod race earlier today. Will recommend this place without a doubt! We are happy that this small gem is overcoming the challenges of the distilling industry in Alaska. Keep it up!

    Aurora is the best.

    What a great place to relax and have a great drink. Stop by on my way to the airport and will definitely be back for more.

    My boyfriend and I stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the staff. The place has a warm feel, kind of an Alaska meets contemporary look - very well done. You have the opportunity to walk around to see the distillery process. We ordered a couple of drinks. The staff was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their products. We had the opportunity to sample three different vodkas. I'm not one for drinking vodka straight but the blueberry vodka was yummy. I would recommend the Midnight sun - a strawberry basil drink. Not too sweet and very good. Table snacks were a plus. Definitely recommend stopping in here.

    Mandy was our "intoxicator". Great knowledge of the products and great drinks! Did the Groupon and stayed for some cocktails. All were great! Will definitely come again.

    I highly recommend visiting! The owner is super nice and passionate about what they do. They are all about supporting local owned business and staying a locally owned company! AND THE PRODUCT IS AMAZING! I will definitely be back!

    Super great Groupon and great Vodka !!!! We all enjoyed the tasting and the awesome drinks!!!! Plus they have great games and bathrooms are unique!!!

    I had such a wonderful experience here! I found out about it because of their Groupon and upon arrival it was a very personable and fun experience. we got the vodka tasting and not only was the liquor itself very good, the cocktails were very unique and delicious. The atmosphere and the customer service made the experience even better. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

    I was searching for a nice cocktail bar for a date night with my husband. I am so glad I found this hidden gem in Anchorage. This place is located in kind of a weird spot with little parking. When you walk inside, the door to the right is to some insurance place and to the left is the distillery. We walked in and were immediately impressed by the vibe and decor. It was small and intimate and the staff were very friendly. We tried the cocktails from their cocktail menu-- midnight sun, Aurora borealis, and sex in the snow. They were all very tasty but the midnight sun was my favorite, it tasted like a strawberry shake. My husband like the aurora borealis. The sex in the snow tasted flowery, which is why we didn't like it-- but someone else might!! The music was great, the ambiance and vibe were great. The music wasn't too loud so you could actually talk to your date instead of yell at them. Their restroom is so amazing, the tiny little details make it so chic. They have a see through door so you have to turn on the privacy switch so the glass can frost over so people can't see you doing your business. I thought that was pretty neat. Overall, definitely recommend this place for an intimate date night. It will definitely be our new go to spot for cocktails.

The room has a high-energy, lively vibe without ever feeling overwhelmingly loud, and you can tell why the chef earned a James Beard nomination. You definitely need a reservation; they have a few walk-in spots, but they go very fast, so you will want to get there right when doors open if you do not have one booked. The beverage menu is very well done, with great cocktails and thoughtful mocktails that felt just as crafted. For food, our starters set a high bar; the pork buns, pickles, and octopus were all flavorful and well prepared. The ramen itself was delicious and hits the spot in the Alaska weather, with deep, tasty broths and bold flavors throughout. The Dark Horse was especially good. We did not have room left for dessert, but the savory side of the menu more than delivered.

We made a dining room reservation about a week ahead for 6:30 PM on a Thursday, but the place was packed and we still waited about 20 minutes for our table. We started with the Scotch Tamago and Whisky Pork Buns. The buns were soft and pillowy with crisped pulled pork, pickled cucumber, and candied chili. The pork had a firmer, almost pork-sung-like texture, and the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors were a great combo. I also really liked the scotch tamago. The center was jammy and custardy, with a crisp exterior. For ramen, we had the Dark Horse. The broth was deep and rich with a little heat, and the noodles had a nice springy texture. It was a bit salty for me, but still very flavorful. The standout was definitely the Miso Baked Alaska. I mean, when in Alaska, you kind of have to get baked alaska at least once. This one was worth it. The toasted fluffy meringue, cold sweet cream ice cream, soft kinako cake, and salty-sweet miso caramel made for a really good mix of textures and flavors. Easily the best thing we had on the trip. Service was great. The atmosphere was lively and fun, though definitely pretty loud.

For me, coming here in the future my place will be at the bar with appetizers. Bar environment is 5/5 As far as the rest goes I think the food is good, not spectacular. 3/5. In the future I think I'd come for an appetizer and a couple of drinks and that's it. I felt the veal was tough on both ordered plates and potentially I would have preferred chicken. That being said the sauce was great. The grappa sauce had amazing flavor and the Marsala sauce also had great flavor. Plus the funghi appetizer was great with the bread. All of it was enjoyable enough for a return visit. This spot has very friendly staff, they move at a classic Alaska pace. Meant for sitting down and enjoying the company of someone you're eating with but not designed for getting in and out the door quickly. Come with the intention to get things as they come and enjoy the ride.

The atmosphere feels like a neighborhood hangout -- relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for anything from brunch to dinner. One big improvement since last year is the menu -- it's expanded and gotten so much better. Kudos to the kitchen! There are more options now, and everything feels more thoughtfully done, with better variety and stronger flavors across the board. We started with appetizers, and the steamer clams were delightfully well-seasoned.. buttered garlic in the white wine-- yum. For mains, the (not pictured) ribeye steak was cooked to perfection requiring no added sauce, pairing perfectly with my rose wine. The ahi tuna was another hit-- the wasabi-mixed sauce with every bite made it better! Portions are generous, and prices feel fair for what you get. Drinks are also a highlight -- solid cocktails (cold & hot), good beer options, and a nice selection of wines by the glass. Service was friendly and attentive, even though the place was busy. It has a lively feel without being overwhelming. Overall, Manhattan Restaurant & Lounge has really stepped up from last year and is now a great go-to for hearty food, good drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a spot I'm coming back to.
