Gold Rush liquor has been purchased by the parent company that also owns Brown Jug. As a result,…read moretheir bush order department no longer exists. Instead of continuing to monitor the old bush orders email address and notifying customers of this change, they allowed it to become an email black hole. After my second order attempt in months, I called them only to be told by a Brown Jug employee that "Gold Rush was supposed to notify their customers". Further, although it seemed like they were able to get into the email account after that, and I sent updated copies of my license and liquor permit, they apparently lack the capability to provide a pre-shipping subtotal... either that, or they just decided my request was unreasonable and they don't want to do business with me any more. I might never find out; they still haven't called me back, and I'd sooner order from someone else. Problem is, it looks like Liquor Stores USA North is attempting to buy up all the liquor stores in Anchorage, so you'll soon not have a choice but to put up with their bullshit.

Gold Rush Liquor is a giant space of alcohol. Booze as far as the eye could see…read more Is it fancy? No, but it also isn't daunting. Clearly labeled sections make finding your spirit of choice a breeze and the low shelves makes finding people even easier. My friends split up upon entering but keeping track of each other was simple enough. And the selection! Wow. I saw alcohol here that I can't find anywhere. I immediately regretted not having more time in Anchorage for surely I'd pick up more. Everyone was so friendly here too! Employees were polite but not over bearing. The only downside is the price. We were on a hunt so we went here and then immediately to other stores. We were surprised to find identical product (same brand, type, size) $10 cheaper elsewhere. For the hard to find stuff Gold Rush is the spot, but for everything else there's cheaper elsewhere.

Perhaps the best way to describe La Bodega is as a boutique liquor store. Every bottle is on the…read moreshelf because the owners think you will enjoy it, and it shows. This has always been my first choice when looking for seasonal and limited-release beers and should be your first choice as well. La Bodega (previously Yukon Spirits) appeared on my radar because it's the only place in Anchorage that encourages buying individual bottles of beer. Per-bottle prices are usually the six-pack price divided by six, and they have a box-full of empty six-packs for convenience. Warts: the selection varies, so if you like it you'd better stock up, and they don't have sales, so Brown Jug is the better deal if there's a sale on the beer or wine you want. This being Anchorage, though, I am willing to look the other way if it means that I can have easy access to this much quality beer. Between La Bodega and the Brown Jug Warehouse, Old Seward between 36th and Tudor is definitely the place to be for fans of beer and wine. Located near Natural Pantry. There's an outside entrance, as they are open somewhat later than the mall stores.

The food was good, but very unhappy with the service. We were informed that our food order would…read moretake 45 minutes to an hour. That's why we ordered a starter as well. However, we got our food earlier than the starter, and they didn't want to accommodate us with either taking back or even giving a discount. Don't order a starter unless you want to treat it as another entree! Trying to be reasonable but just don't feel like we got the service and assistance we paid for (it's not McDonald's after all)

The standout dishes were the steamed clams, halibut fish and chips, bacon brussel sprouts, and crab roll! Our server Grant was very personable and attentive plus the food/drinks came out quickly. We were very pleasantly surprised with how good everything tasted. The server was also able to provide great recommendations for local draughts. I personally loved the mango cider, and tigers blood was another popular one for our party. Remember to save room for dessert because the whisky bread pudding is phenomenal. We will definitely return on future trips to Anchorage. Thank you for an amazing experience!

My wife and I waited about 20 minutes for a table and then waited about 30 minutes for our order to arrive. We shared a half Call of the Wild and half Amazing Apricot Pizza.

If I were to come back, I'd probably order take out about 30 to 45 minutes before I wanted to eat so that it was ready when I want to eat.

Since there was an…read morehour long wait for takeout and a 30 minute wait for a table (around 2 on a Sunday), my husband and I decided to dine in. Be prepared that it still takes a while to get your food after you order. We shared a large pizza that was half Call of the Wild and half Amazing Apricot Pizza. There is an upcharge to do half and half which is a little annoying, but I'm glad they let you do it so that you can try more. The Amazing Apricot was my favorite. It was an interesting combination of flavors. Despite the name, it wasn't overly sweet and the chicken was delicious. The Call of the Wild was also good, but I wanted it to be a little saucier. We were both happy that we had enough for leftovers the next day. Next time, I'd probably coordinate a takeout order to be ready when I want it to cut down on the wait. They have so many unique pizzas that I think this is a must try while in Anchorage.
