    Lots of tables
    Tammy P.

    When looking up some information on a brewery this business popped up and we just had to check it out. We were greeted right away and looked at the menu for the cocktails that were available. They offer gin or whiskey drinks. There are lots of tables and tall bars to sit at and relax. The bartender was very friendly and told us about their products since we had not been there before. You can only order two drinks per person. We tried the Tallahassee and the Orgeat Gimlot as well as the Sea Donkey. All drinks were very tasty. We will be back next time we are in town. Unfortunately they don't ship out of town.

    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!

    A must stop on your visit to Juneau! The owners make you feel very welcome and explain their process using local resources. The gin and whiskey alone are spectacular. I decided on a gin and tonic which was a smooth delicious cocktail

    Sparkling Donkey!

    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.
    Pauline J.

    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!

Order the chowder and 1 pound of the king crab legs. The chowder I heard was supposed to be the best but found it less than satisfying. There was very little seafood almost none but a few pieces. The soup was thickened with a lot of corn starch and tasted like it. Let's move on to the best crab I've tasted in a long time. Huge but the meat was a bit shriveled. Succulent, briny and delicious. Wished we ordered more but at 110.00 per pound was a hefty lunch. Definitely worth the crab.

She loved it and couldn't finish the good-sized portion. I highly recommend Twisted Fish Company for really good service, warm and inviting atmosphere and wonderful eats.

It was peak lunch time and the advice from the cruise was apt in that it wasn't difficult to get a table. Between both buildings, they do have plenty of seating, which is a mix of bar sitting and high-top tables. I really do like the vibe of the building as it does have that relaxed, pub feel. Definitely better than waiting in line elsewhere. Of course, we did try some food and the king crab. Just opted for one pound and that was more than we needed to get our fix. It was succulent and delicious and if you are like us where you just want to try it, 1 pound for 2 people is just fine given the price ($99 a pound(!), which is cheaper than the more touristy places). We topped it off with a side of the delicious fries (Beer Cheese Hop Salt Fries) and a few pints, it made for quite the perfect afternoon in Juneau. So if you are looking to get in your King Crab fix and not break the bank, while also finding a place a bit more relaxed, highly recommend the Alaskan Brewing Public House.

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.

There's also some pretty good pizza just a couple blocks away.

The ship was the epitome of modern luxury and the port cities catered to all the tourists needs. But at some point, I needed to get a little down and dirty, to get away from the crowds of visitors. To me, Alaska is still frontier, and I needed to experience just a taste of it. From the recommendation of a grizzled cruise staff, my wife & I found ourselves at the Alaskan Hotel and Bar, enjoying a pint and taking in small piece of history. While a few tourists did wander in, most of the patrons seemed local and knew each other and the staff. We watched from the far end of the bar and soaked in the atmosphere while enjoying our beers. Though there was a single acoustic guitarist playing from the stage, the bar was mostly still and quiet, a welcome respite from the throngs of outsiders on the street, veering in and out of the jewelry stores and tacky souvenir shops. Both of us needed this time to recharge, to enjoy a different side of Alaska than we'd seen, to be around normal people again. Does this bar have all the amenities? Are fancy cocktails the standard fair? Is the furniture new? All those answers are no. But the drinks are strong and the bathrooms are clean. And for a tired tourist, this is the most welcome sight.
