Visiting Talkeetna on a tour and we had some free time. Great to get a taste of the local brewing scene. They have a nice variety of beer styles. I love IPA's, so their Twister Creek IPA was the choice. Nice and crispy, not too bitter. We also decided to have a bit and decided to share a Fireweed sandwich. Smoked ham, lettuce, tomato, red onion, red pepper mayo. Very tasty and a good thing we shared, it's a big sandwich. read more

We had such a great experience at Denali Brew Pub! We ordered the burger and the smoked salmon dip, and both were absolutely delicious. The salmon dip was SO GOOD. I ate it as my meal and it was the perfect amount. The drinks were good too, could barely taste the alcohol, which I could use a little more. The best part, though, was the atmosphere. We sat outside with an incredible view, and once the sun came out, it made the whole experience even better. Sitting in the sunshine with that scenery was just beautiful. The vibes were perfect, and our server was super nice, chill, and made us feel really welcome. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a meal, enjoy the views, and relax, I 100% recommend Denali Brew Pub! read more

Fish and chips "hearty portion' (menu quote) = three pieces, each the size of a little finger. If you want a bowl of fries and three fish sticks (times 0.5) for $26, stop here. Complained to manager and he cuts 10% off the $26 price. And they add 3% for credit card purchases. Have eaten here twice. This was the last time. read more

We shared a Fireweed sandwich. It is made on very large slices of wheat bread, so 1/2 really is a normal sized sandwich. The sandwich is filled with corn cob smoked ham with green leaf lettuce, red onion, tomato, sliced cheese and red pepper mayo. We picked pepper-jack cheese, so our sandwich had some nice uumph. The bag of chips was supposedly lower salt, but they seemed pretty salty. A couple of pickle slices were on the side. French fries are a $5.00 up charge. read more

Great brews, cider, and mead. I had a sockeye sandwich with a beer. I stopped by later for another beer. Can't stop without trying more than one, right!? The service was super friendly, both food service and bar. read more

Best Soup I've ever had, try the Tomato Brisket Chickpea. Also their Ginger soda, light and not too sweet. You won't regret your visit.

My friends and I are visiting and decided to try out this spot. Staff were friendly. It was pretty busy, but we were able to snag a table pretty quickly on a Friday afternoon. We sat outside near the fire pit, weather was so beautiful. Definitely worth it, only downfall was how expensive each dish was... but it's super fresh so you get what you pay for! Food review: Fish and chips: (4/5) The fish was very fresh and the batter was nice and crispy. Wish the sizes of fish were a little bigger for the price. The fries were super soggy. Overall, dish was good with the malt vinegar and tartar sauce! Salmon sandwich: (5/5) Simple, yet delicious. The salmon is very fresh and was cooked perfectly. read more

We came in yesterday after a long day of traveling, and unfortunately we were not satisfied with our meal. We got the chicken curry which was tasty, but about 1/2 the size it should've been considering the $26 price. The pulled pork sandwich which is labeled as sweet is actually spicy with minimal flavor. We ordered a blonde and a pilsner, which were not great and had an IPA aftertaste. For dessert we had the warm brownie sundae, which was good, although only half of the brownie was warm--the other half was ice cold. The staff were very friendly and the ambiance was nice, but we were disappointed with the experience. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I'd happily come back and would recommend it to others. read more

My husband and I stopped in after an evening river trip. Their kitchen stayed open late, which we appreciated! I ordered a small salad topped with smoked salmon, and he ordered the curry bowl also with salmon. He tried a couple of the beers, and I tried a couple of the ciders, and both were good. (I really liked the hibiscus cider!) Our food came out quickly, and the entrees were both delicious. The waitress said the salmon was smoked in-house, and they were very generous with the portion. We really enjoyed our meal and the fun atmosphere. read more

Ordered the fish and chips, and for the price, it felt like an absolute scam. It came out with the tiniest pieces of fish I have ever seen on a plate. To make it worse, the beer servings were full price for not even a 6oz pour. An absolute waste of money. The service was fast but completely robotic; I could tell the server knew the portions were a joke because they actively avoided asking if I was satisfied with the food when checking on the table. Skip this place and go somewhere that actually feeds you. read more

Good time. Had flights of beer and sandwiches. Quirky little town and this place is a highlight.

Special advertised at the entrance wasn't available, but upon leaving the restaurant it was still being promoted. Brought the wrong beverage, and when told the correct beverage was brought, but the bill charged for both. An extra ingredient was ordered for a sandwich, it was not included and not mentioned by the server. When it was pointed out, he said they were out. I suspect it would have been on the bill if I hadn't mentioned it. Two stars is for the venue. Food and service got zero. read more

Absolutely loved discovering this place! We ordered the salmon burger, salad, and fish and chips! Everything here was so fresh and food came out quickly! We came on a Friday during noon and there was no wait. Ample seating and service is quick. The fish and chips were so fresh and they provided so many pieces of fish! I got the fish and chips with the sweet potato fries and that was delicious! Only issue is some of the fries were slightly burned but it was still really good! The salmon burger was so flavorful. It came with a bag of chips. Burger was on the smaller side but still the flavor made this worth it. It was nice having a salad as well to balance out the fried foods. Would def come back here if we are in the area! read more

I absolutely loved this spot. Very relaxed vibe with great seating indoors and out. I sat outside and enjoyed a cool drizzle of rain while sitting under the large canopy. It was reminiscent of sitting on your best friends back porch and grilling. They had a really nice fire pit in the middle, which made for a fun gathering spot. The staff was five star all the way. Kristen provided excellent service and offered great suggestions. We started our meal with a salmon dip appetizer served with pita chips. The depth of flavor and the amount of the salmon dip did not disappoint. The dip was absolutely delicious. I don't think we left any on the plate. It had a wonderful mix of salt and sweet and I literally could've made a meal out of it. These folks do not skimp. The pita chips.... Oh those pita chips!!!! I don't know what in the world they did to make them so delicious. But I'm use to really soft almost tortilla like consistency, pita chips or a consistency like a hard cracker. This was like a puffed crisp pizza dough. Maybe I've been eating pita chips wrong all of my life . But I certainly found That after eating these chips, my expectations have been raised. We both had the fish and chips (my chips were the sweet potato wedges ..... and they were excellent) with a side of remoulade per Kristen's suggestion. It was amazing. I love to eat fish and chips. This place got the batter 100% spot on. The batter was thick, crispy and stayed right on the fish instead of falling off into my plate. The sweet potato wedges were unlike any other that I've had before. They actually had a crispy exterior and a soft smooth texture inside. I have tried to make sweet potato fries myself multiple times and I've eaten them in various restaurants. But never have I been able to accomplish that. These things were perfect. There's so many other things that I wanted to try on this menu. I checked out our neighboring customers meals, and they looked just as outstanding. I heard multiple people commenting over how delicious their meal was. Can't wait to come back and try more options. I did also enjoy a cocktail. I do not typically drink. If I can recall, I believe it was called Bird of Paradise. They did not skip on the rum in this drink. It was really a great complement to the meal and packed a punch of its own.. read more

I've been wanting to come here for quite a while when I'm in Talkeetna, but honestly, Mountain High Pizza Pie wins every time. This time, I was able to squeeze both in, but I was a little disappointed. Denali Brewing has a reputation for greatness, and compared to the main Denali Brewery, this Denali Pub felt like night and day. That's not to say it was bad--just that my expectations for anything Denali-related are really high. They had a few brews from Denali Brewery, but not too many. The best part of the atmosphere for me was the bar--I liked just sitting there and relaxing. The staff was great. The place itself reminds me of a cute little mom-and-pop shop. There are a few menu items that seem decent and about average for a small-town spot. I think most people, especially families stopping in, would find something they like. The food I saw looked good. I had some of the Denali brewery beers and they were great. I was also impressed by their whiskey selection. They had a variety of special small-batch whiskeys, including some from local spots like Three Bears and Brown Jug. I got to experiment with those, which I really enjoyed. All in all, I'd say this is a solid place. It checks a lot of boxes and makes for a great stop if you're passing through. read more

Great beer found where I least expected it! I mean, Talkeetna is not a large city so finding a craft brew pub with local production smack middle in town was a pleasant surprise. Food is really good too! Had a burger that was beautifully cooked and crispy fries. Maybe a little slow on the service, but I'll chalk that up to the "Alaskan time" (kind of like island time, nothing is rushed). Pretty standard brew pub venue, nothing special when it comes to the setting. Nice vibe though, chill people and not too noisy. read more

There was a great variety of beverages, but for the most part I stuck to beer. I tried 5 different beers and a cider. Each was true to style and at the same time unique. The food was very fresh.

Our server was very accommodating, efficient and funny. read more

We had a great time at Denali brewhouse on a stop of our on-land cruise travel. Like many, we were dropped in on the way from Anchorage to the southern part of Denali park. After wandering down to the river, we were in need of snacks and brews, and Denali delivered. The brisket?! So yummy. We all enjoyed our different dishes and were pleased with stout through ipa. If I lived anywhere close, I'd be back. Make time to stop by for a good meal and good service if you're passing through. read more

Late post Aug... When we first arrived in Talkeetna, there was slight rain which kept on while walking towards Denali brew pub mehh that's when the rain got stronger. Thankfully, we were promptly seated in the covered patio. Our server a young gentleman was fast and happy to give us the specials. Since we were still in Alaska of course, I opted for the fish and chips, my partner got pulled pork sando with soup of the day which was chicken curry lentil soup, sister-in-law brisket sando w soup lucily, she got the last of chicken noodle add everything in the kitchen sink and her husband ordered the burger with fries . Overall, the food was absolutely delicious, everything came out quick and hot which I appreciate. I would definitely recommend them if you are in the area! Outdoor seating, dog friendly! read more

Thursday night and it wasn't particularly crowded. I checked in at the hostess table and was suggested a bar option since I was flying solo. I don't mind but it's definitely a quieter and different experience. I'm the only person at the bar for a bit. I asked if they had flights and was told they did and it would be six. More than I wanted, I give it a shot. I later learn they charge as tasters (half the price of a pint) so not a great deal unless you're really looking to try that many. Agave gold was my favorite. The spruce tip was surprisingly bitter, making it hard to drink--overpowering the flavors of the other beers. I wasn't particularly hungry so I looked for a light option. I opted for the salmon spread. The pita was warm and the bartender told me extra pita could be added for $1 if I wanted (no need). The salmon spread was good and I was glad to see some greens accompany it. Service was attentive. Beers were fine. Vibe inside during an August day was quiet until a bit later in the evening. read more

We came for the spinach bread, but it was closed so we settled for Homestead. They were out of four or five things on the menu so we had one beverage and came here. We were created by the hostess, who is friendly and professional. She said us rather quickly and our waitress was awesome! I had a aperol spritz that was decent. They were out of a couple of things as well, but they tried their best to make accommodations for us. We tried a version of with just chips, salsa, and jackfruit. I also split the jackfruit sloppy Joe with my friend, and we had some sweet potato fries. Pretty good! The sauce was eh but nice try!! read more

We visited Denali Brewpub today on 07/04/2023 at about 2pm for lunch. We had a short 15 minute wait on this very busy day in town and were seated promptly with a super friendly server. Today, we shared the Sockeye Salmon dip which was absolutely delicious! For my entree, I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Jalapenos and it came with a side of pickles and potato chips. It also was equally as yummy. My Husband had the Fish n Chips w/ Curly Fries and it was great as well. All was well here, and we had a great time and would return again. read more

I got the fish and chips. Fish was ok but they could have put more fries in that little basket plate for $25 bucks! Server never asked me if I wanted a refill on water.

Tasty spot! The food and service were great and so was the location and ambiance. the prices were on par with similar offerings which is to say, higher than usual due to the economy & the AK markup but typical for the time and place. Being a WA expat who now lives in NV, I was really looking forward to enjoying some clam chowder while I was visiting AK but I guess it's not a thing there. I couldn't find it anywhere I went so that was a bummer but the seafood chowder at this spot was pretty good. read more
