Came by on a beautiful summer afternoon to watch the fishermen and have a couple of drinks. We were lucky and got a table right on the front of the deck. A couple had the Bloody Mary's which they really enjoyed. My IPA's were cold in a nice frosted glass. One got a margarita that was OK. Our server was taking care of the whole place and did a good job. read more

Bridge Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Soldotna, Alaska

Great atmosphere, cool vibe, great bar for drinks with a view of the Kenai. I don't recommend any of the bar snacks if you're looking for good food this is it your spot. read more

Love the how the bar is set up and designed, great for an intimate but open feel. Cozy fireplace outdoor with a covered patio makes a fantastic option for chilly nights. Not great for large parties wanting to sit together, as people would be spread out throughout the space, however it would be ideal for private events BECAUSE of the variety of seating spaces and the intimate but open feel. Great for date night or evening out with friends. It is upstairs and they don't serve food last I heard. read more

On our way to Anchor Point & stopped at the Bridge Lounge for drinks & smoked salmon dip. Kaydi, the bartender, is awesome. read more

Bridge Lounge - Kenai River from the Bridge Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Soldotna, Alaska

The wait staff is super, the view on the back deck of the Kenai River is worth the trip there. In the afternoon the sun keeps it quite warm on the deck while you chat or watch people fish. They have 2 fire tables too with couch seating for cooler day and evenings. They have a great selection of specialty cocktails, as well as a variety of beers and wines. The menu is very limited to bar food, but they welcome carry-ins an will help direct a delivery person as well if you order delivery. I had the pickle fries and they were crispy and quite good. read more

We were staying at the hotel, and our room was right next door so of course we stopped by for 4-5 drinks. It wasn't warm, but we bundled up and the rain never reached us because the awning goes pretty far out to protect you from the rain we sat outside so we could watch the people across the river try to catch fish. The beer was cold, our waitress was nice and on top of keeping the drinks coming when our glasses got empty. They don't have much food to order here but a lot of local businesses will deliver according to our waitress. We were just here to drink so they brought us some hot pretzels after our third round. read more

Beautiful environment. Hidden gem for the area, most definitely. Great staff, great service, great atmosphere. It's beautiful sitting outside on the deck, overlooking the river or inside by the fireplace. Definitely wasn't expecting somewhere like this for Soldotna! read more

Fantastic new place in town. Trendy, upper-scale working class bar with a great drink menu and a decent appetizer list. If it's a nice day, head out to the deck and watch the river. If its not so nice, head out on to the deck and turn on the fireplaces haha. You're not going to close this place down, but its the best starter bar in the area. read more

Bridge Lounge - a glass fire pit with flames - Lounges Near Me - Soldotna, Alaska

The reason I am giving the bridge lounge a 3 instead of a 4 and 5 is because me and a friend of mine went there for a drink and they were both strong. The service was great though even if it was busy. read more

The Bridge Lounge has the best view in Soldotna. You can enjoy a drink outside on comfortable, sectional outdoor furniture around a fire pit with wall heaters to make a chilly night pleasant. A handful of local & Alaskan beers are on tap, & they have intriguing specialty cocktails. You can bring any food in from other restaurants because they don't have a kitchen. read more

Great Spot* Cozy, they've only been open since last year and it's really coming together. VIEW IS INCREDIBLE!! They have an awesome LED Bar & the staff is friendly and fun. For those complaining of no food, you can order delivery from many restaurants near here (including Acapulco right across the parking lot) & the Bartender has menus behind the bar~they are happy to help! read more

Amazing views! Bar was beautiful as well. Drinks were fun. Ambience is relaxed and I love they let you bring your own did and allow delivery since they do not serve food. read more

I was really looking forward to checking this place out once I heard about it. Maybe it was the odd time of day, or that they were still pretty new; but I may have got my hopes up too much for what I experienced. Don't get me wrong I love the location, the view (of the river) the decor, awesome little bar area. They nailed it on setting the tone of the atmosphere! Maybe the fact that there's not food??.. It would be fun to bring a date here and having the option of lunch or dinner with the drink would be cool. I am anticipating on going back again for a visit and perhaps now that they are a little more known it won't feel so empty. Ps. I like the idea of the 'make your own' bloody marry for those that want too, but honestly it would be nice if they would also make it (I usually tip a little generously to a good bar tender! $$) I look forward to my next visit, and hopefully more stars on the next review. read more

Good music, cute musician. Bartenders are attentive, smart and helpful. Patrons SEEM to be a couple of strippers from local strip club and a serious drunk who harasses people. Bartenders are good at telling the loser to back off but really should cut him off. Nice deck overlooking g river, no smoking on it. Good drinks, wow! Good drinks! read more

Great service, friendly staff, epic view.... :) They step in the perfect spot for locals to come enjoy the Kenai River and a good drink. Great place to go for any occasion!! read more

We went for appetizers and a cocktail. The appetizers were all frozen packaged things they buy in bulk and put in an air fryer so we passed on those. We ordered Bombay Sapphire dirty martinis which were OK but not shaken enough to be truly ice cold as a martini should be to be really good. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We were there about 5 pm on a weeknight and it was very quiet. We enjoyed the ambiance of the gas fireplace and river view. Then the bill came and we found the OK martinis were $13 each!! Definitely overpriced. read more

Loved this bar! Noelle was our bartender and was friendly and attentive. Drinks were as expected, good! The view of the Kenai River is beautiful, was fun to watch all the anglers during the salmon run. The outside deck is an awesome spot. The owners really put together a nice and clean venue, warm, welcoming and beautiful inside. read more
