    Gin & Tonic
    Cary N.

    The spot is a cool, chill location. The bartender was very knowledgeable on all the drinks. Tried the Manhattan and Gin & Tonic. Both are good. Very well made drinks and great tasting. Definitely a place to stop and relax for a handcrafted cocktail.

    I can't say I was too big a fan of the drinks but I'm also not a gin person. It wasn't very busy so we were able to get a seat by the windows and people watch.

    Amalga is a small distillery on the outskirts of downtown offering a free tasting, craft cocktails and grab and go cans. They only had Juniper Gin for both tasting and cocktails so not quite the distillery we had in mind! The gal at the counter was super sweet and inviting and the gin was smooth and sweet as well. As a distillery, they have a two drink minimum which is great for a little diversion from the tourist area. Sadly, two of the folks in our group didn't like gin so we didn't stay long!

    Talk about a cool downtown Juneau spot to get a delicious drink alone, as a pair, or group! The decor is welcoming & a cool chill vibe. High top tables or low. Shared tables with strangers or not. The employees were all smiles. Eager to describe the cocktails of the day or the drink of your choice! As a distillery you can purchase Amalga gun & more! I definitely recommend stopping by this gem.

    We stopped in here on a soggy Juneau day fresh off the cruise ship. I loved the big copper distillery and and the open seating. Then bartender was friendly and handled the huge influx of people with grace. I had a gin cocktail that was fruity and I can't remember the name (but it was awesome). Nice vibe. Good drinks. All around nice stop!

    Got some delicious cocktails at Amalga Distillery, so no complaints! My strawberry spruce bursted with strawberry flavor, but was completely balanced. Mr B enjoyed his grapefruit rosemary gin and tonic too. Loved the ambiance, as we sat in two comfy chairs overlooking the pretty mountain, and some downtown sites. Our bartender was really sweet, and gave us a short pour of their Amalga gin to try. Amalga Distillery is a great spot!

    So fun and surprisingly affordable! The gin drinks were fantastic. The space is bright and fun and clean! The service was quick and kind! There wasn't anything that wasn't great about this place! And the best part, I believe my two cocktails were $14 total. $8 for one and $6 for the other. All their drinks were great too. Explore and try something new!

    Phenomenal cocktails in a cute cozy environment. The copper still they use to make their delectable gin, is the centerpiece of the room!

    LOVE Amalga!! First learned about Amalga when dining in Anchorage. Make sure to stop in every time I'm in Juneau. The menu changes frequently, daily even, so be sure to check it out! Their cocktails are on tap but they add some ingredients like aquafaba to the coffeetini in real time so they still have the classic presentation and flavors of freshly shaken cocktails. Abundant seating and cute gifts and swag in the back.

    Enjoying Juneau. Stopped here during our pub crawl. Couple of good cocktails, nice atmosphere. Only had whiskey and gin the day we were there. Good stop if walking around Juneau

    Whiskey with an outstanding view.

    Great little place to pop in for a nice whiskey or gin. Friendly staff, cool establishment , and beautiful surroundings. What's not to like? Whiskey was good and reasonably priced too!

    Raspberry fizz
    Emily K.

    I love gin and appreciate anywhere that specializes in gin. This gin is delicious, flavorful, reminiscent of the majestic pines that cover the land here, and packs a punch! I had the classic g&t with house made tonic for the true test and could have drank it all day. I also got the raspberry fizz and it was so refreshing. The big stand out was their rhubarb g&t. The space is beautiful, light and airy great for casual chilling and meet ups. I love the pink bubble lights!!! The canned cocktails are also amazing and as someone who doesn't like beer, I appreciate a grab and go canned option when everyone else in my group is reaching for a can of beer.

    Whiskey hot toddy

    Good vibe, yummy drinks and fun food stuffs! Sat in here on a rainy Sunday in Juneau and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff and service was great in guiding me on what to try.

    L-R: Whiskey ginger, minty rhubarb Rickey, Basil lemonade (non-alcoholic)

    The best gin in Alaska, hands down. Take the walk up the hill, grab a drink, and buy a bottle to take home!

    Everyone sees another Crab Shack as soon as they get off the ship. We saw there was an hour wait…read more(line outside in the drizzle). We looked around and decided onTwisted Fish Company, what a find. We got a table for eight after a brief wait. Our lovely waitress explained the menu items. Four couples each ordered 1 pound red King Crab. Sweet delicious and properly prepared We also had clam chowder which was very good. We also had a side caesar salad which was excellent. We added another couple in the middle of dinner and the staff took it in-stride and delivered those dishes quickly without complaint. Other diners we talked to raved about the halibut. The prices appeared reasonable for the quality of the food and the service from Bella. We would return again when in port but if you are looking for high quality food in a casual style eatery I recommend the Twisted Fish Company

    Since our cruise ship was not leaving until late, I wanted to have dinner in town before boarding…read more Just like in Ketchikan, we are just a stone throw away from the ships, but I wanted to eat and support local. I was lucky enough to have Alaskan king crab legs last year when I traveled Alaska by land so that was not on my must eat this year. King salmon that I fell in love with last year was though, so when I saw Twisted Fish had it and some of their fishes were accompanied by local rhubarb and blueberry chutney, I was sold as I am all about eating local. Unfortunately, grilling the king salmon dried it out so it did not have that beautiful buttery texture that makes King salmon special. Sadly I felt the king salmon I roasted at home was closer to what I had in Anchorage last year than this one. Even though the twisted fish plate only had Taku Salmon, I found the halibut in that one was much better and wish I went with a full order of halibut instead, especially since that came with the local rhubarb and blueberry chutney.

    Great place to go after a show across the street at Perseverence Theatre. The place is full of…read morefriendly locals and the bar staff is helpful. If you're hungy do try Nano's Grill from the hut outback. The menu items are a bit different than your lower 48 fair, but still good. My first time I ordered a club sandwich. When it arrived, it was everything of a soft kaiser roll with all the fixins splayed out like a hotdog. Different looking, but good. My next trip I ordered the daily special. Sliders. These tasty bites reminded me of homemade hamburger patties with their uneven edges cracking under each bit. Again. Good stuff. On my last visit, I tried the famous loaded tater tots. Now let me warn you, share with someone or you will be full for hours. The tots were a plate full of deep fried goodness covered in chili and all everything you would find on nachos. So good, but again, sharing is caring. They had also had a bloody mary morning drink, but I got there after 3 and the bartender still made me one. And it's good to be there when the fishermen come back, just be prepared to get a taxi home because someone is always ringing the bell!

    Despite what this listing may say, this is in DOUGLAS, not in Juneau…read more What is Douglas? It's a town across the water from Juneau. It's what I imagine Juneau was like before the cruise ships came. This is a solid neighborhood watering hole. Great vibe and energy in this place. The bartender was friendly and on top of it. Lots of crowds of people that you could tell were all good friends. Get out of your boat or hotel and take a long walk across the bridge, you'll be glad you did. There's also some pretty good pizza just a couple blocks away.
