The…read moreplace has a unique, quirky vibe that gives it a lot of character, and it's the kind of spot that's fun to explore while you're sipping a beer. I remember thinking the menu looked pretty awesome, although I somehow managed to accidentally delete my photo of it! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and as a dog lover, I have to mention that the pup hanging out inside was absolutely adorable. One thing I thought was especially cool was that they could add different flavors to some of the beers, which made for a fun and customizable experience. It's also within walking distance of the cruise port, making it an easy stop for cruise passengers looking to support a local business. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and enjoy craft beer.

It was honestly one of the best Bloody Marys I have ever had in my life. Beyond the great drinks, the bartender was an absolute superstar. The place was packed to the brim, and she was handling the entire crowd like a total pro. I was blown away by her speed and efficiency; she was pouring multiple beers at once, whipping up cocktails in record time, and even tackling her own dishes alongside another lady who was helping wash glasses. She didn't miss a single beat. The atmosphere was lively, welcoming, and genuine. We ended up chatting with fellow cruise travelers at the bar, swapping stories, and just enjoying the great energy of the room. It's an authentic local gem with unbeatable character. If you're stopping through Ketchikan, do not miss this place. Grab a stool, order a Bloody Mary, and enjoy the show...highly, highly recommended!

When the…read morecruise ships pull in, they tend to blast the music and over their intercom, they will advertise to the tourists getting off the ship to come visit and join in the fun times at their bar. To start, they have two lovely Alaskan wooden carved bears peeping through the front entrance. Once inside, those bears look a little different. IYKYK! the staff inside is plenty rowdy and you cannot help but laugh at the scenery. The best place on a nice day is their back waterfront deck. They will bring you a Bloody Mary that might just knock your socks off. Just DON'T RING THE BELL ON THE BAR!!

The service was great and they kept bring more crab clusters before you finished the ones you had. Fresh and delicious on top of being the biggest clusters I've ever seen! Checkered blue and white table cloths decorated the tables. It was an "All you can eat" crab meal with red potatoes, a salad and carrot cake to finish the meal.

It was separate from a main restaurant, but some lovely waitress served all we could eat crab legs for a time and then carrot cake. One of these things did not go over.

They have a big collection of old ship and shipwreck photos decorating the walls. I also saw what looked like an antique painting of gamblers in the Gold Rush period, as well as some old historical memorabilia. It was like walking into a different time period with all the décor and wood paneling. We had a choice of a beer or a cocktail. We chose the Sourdough Mule. Apparently, tequila and ginger pair well together. It was good, but I liked the Bear Skat shot the best. Who knew that Blueberry Vodka would make such a big difference in the flavor? My husband really liked the Butt Hole shot. I didn't get to try it, but he said it was pretty good. We didn't get to stay long. It was our last pub crawl stop. By that point, we were all a little buzzed before heading back to Ward Cove. Thankfully our tour operator was our designated driver. It was a great time spent in Downtown Ketchikan!

The distillery tour, which is the focus of this updated review, was 2.5 hours long and was an absolute pleasure to attend. Travis, one of the two co-owners, did a great job of mixing in the historical aspects of his distillery, with the science of how the distilling process works while mixing in his own down home humor to make for an excellent excursion. As part of this tour you get to taste all the products Uncharted make, which includes numerous Gin, Vodka, Agave and whiskey products while Travis is giving his presentation. Upon completion of his presentation we went upstairs to the "lab" to make our own personalized bottle of liquor where I ended up making an orange colander Agave. Such fun! If you have any interest in the distilling process and have ever wondered how liquor is made you should definitely give this excursion some strong consideration as you will not be disappointed. As Travis added so much to this experience, I would strongly suggest you try to coordinate the tour when he is available. Definitely worth the price of admission (:

There is one filipino cashier in particular that never smiles and is never happy to see or help you. I wish they did stay open a little bit longer but I know it might not be very busy if there were later hours.
