Sure, why not hit the Trophy Room? You want a drink, and they have them!…read moreVery chill place we spent a little time in. Good (strong) drinks and plenty of local beers on tap. We didn't eat so I can't speak to the food, but the bartenders were great and attentive and made for a good experience. Good place to kind of chat and be left alone if you don't need anything. Definitely nothing special or fancy, but pretty classic Alaska bar and would go back. Also decent patio situation if you want some fresh air.

Tight security who are welcoming and respectful. Large bar area with a few local tap options. Mounted TV's, pool tables, popcorn machine, high top tables and booths. They also have a cute outdoor patio area. They have jukebox karaoke weekly. Beer is allowed in the bowling alley now, so watch out for servers behind you, running those orders out. Would love to see live music in this space. Usually the music is better in the bowling alley.

Nice little dive spot in Spenard!

Super friendly bartenders, and quick to get service. Not a huge selection on tap but let's be honest you're not hitting up a dive in Spenard for the craft beer....its for the Spenard "Ambiance" *pro tip* Keep your eye on their socials for great party events!! This year (2025) they served up a free complete Thanksgiving dinner for folks.

We all enjoyed excellent, tasty food; I especially liked the light lunch I had: an order of gyoza and a cup of tomato bisque soup. Yum!

Our group ended up having dinner at Caboose lounge from our driver who actually lives in Palmer…read more The restaurant wasn't busy but by it being in a small town, a group of 24 could have overwhelmed them but it did not. They have a large choice of food items and they serve breakfast all day. We ordered corn fritters w honey butter to try. They were amazing! I had two and could have eaten more but my dinner hadn't come out yet. I ordered the Halibut fish & chips. I was impressed how tasty they were. Perfectly fried and seasoned well. The tartar sauce was good. The cole slaw was okay so I tried the potato salad which was better. Overall great meal! Since we had a large party, they ran out of desserts before I had a chance to order. The 17 kids in the group were able to get order desserts, the adults did not. No worries. The trip was for the kids.

But so many options makes the possibilities feel almost endless. The bacon is crispy. If you like your bacon chewy, maybe ask for it that way. I like mine crispy and it's been that way EVERY SINGLE TIME. YAY! - - THE DOWNSIDE The decaf coffee is not great. I've had it three times and I think it's instant coffee, maybe? Whatever it is, it's bad. In a state with so much great coffee, this seems like a point that shouldn't be bad. Sigh* The over medium eggs are really over easy. This is a bummer. The diner of Alaska that can make me true over medium eggs will forever earn my patronage. - - Conclusion It's okay the coffee is bad, because they had a porter on tap which was almost like drinking an iced coffee. At least that's what I'm going with. =]

Head just past the reception desk and a few beautiful art galleries and you'll find yourself at Whale's Tail, a bar/restaurant where good food, great drinks and live music stand out. You'll always find a good drink and there's "nothing gross on the menu" as one waitress put it. I have found their staff to be highly knowledgeable in wine and drink selection, happy to answer any questions. Their food is really good and at Alaska prices (there's always a theme here with my reviews) you pretty much break even. It's comfort food but served in a more elegant fashion. It might just be the white table cloths, candles and dim lights, who really knows it still tastes great. If you're in the mood for some delicious comfort food with healthier options and not at Crow's Neat prices, you might just find Wail's Tail is your place to be! The accept reservations too and keep and eye out for their music line up. Jazz night is also fun.

Friendly service with great music playing. Got tapas (very reasonably priced) and a cocktail right after work. Sign says they're open 5 to 11 pm (I think Thursday thru Saturday).

Over the 2.5 hours of dancing , the DJ refused to play any of the music we requested . Even though we were the only customers dancing . Mr. DJ , had no idea how to read the crowd or how to mix music ( unless it on the same number of beats ) . The lounge was half full and would assume it is doing well ? However with a different DJ who would play to the crowd , could fill the dance floor which in turn bring more people and money into the business. Unfortunately, you have lost 5 costumers , that will share our experience with other potential customers. P.S - after speaking to others about our experience, they shared similar stories.

The staff members were openly hostile. Specifically the bouncer. She was not wearing anything that clearly marked she was a staff member, she looked like any other patron at the bar. It didn't seem like there was anyone there to check our IDs. When we walked in, she screamed at us for ID. Other staff members were also extremely unfriendly. It was uncomfortable, the staff members were talking about us and staring at us the entire time we were there. We left shortly after arriving because if this treatment. Beyond the behavior of the staff, I noticed how dirty the entire establishment was. The bar is only lit by neon lights, because they don't want you to see how disgusting the floors and surfaces are. I saw several large bugs crawling around. A terrible cigarette stench permeated the atmosphere. Truly awful.
