I've been a patron of the Blue Fox for a long time. In recent years, I've found myself visiting…read moremore and more regularly. This has been because of the amazing bar and entertainment staff - great drinks, great service, fun and friendly. The trivia and karaoke were the best I have seen in Anchorage, with a charismatic host and fun atmosphere. These days are, apparently, gone. I have visited twice in the last month, and both were some of the worst bar experiences I have ever had (and I've had some baaaad experiences in my life!). I'm not sure what happened to the staff that worked hard to make the Blue Fox a welcome, classic dive with chill and solid vibes, but whatever the mess is that's in place now is....something else. None of the serving staff seemed to know how to do...well...anything. On one visit, I ordered draft beer - pretty basic. After first returning to ask me for a reminder on what drink I ordered, they still brought me the wrong pour, and after what seemed like an excessive amount of time. I was going to order food, but someone at the table next to me leaned over (unsolicited) and told me I'd be better off skipping it. His actual words were "Don't. Save yourself". Yikes. On my other visit, I ordered an old fashioned. Whatever it was that they brought me, it wasn't anything even close, and it was undrinkable. I sent it back, and never saw a server again. On both visits, noone seemed to know how to use the computer system to get me a bill. I will also note that it was very empty there on both occasions. There is nothing I can think of or that I saw to justify or speak to the combination of slow service and level of bumbling chaos that happened. The place was dead. Not sure where the great entertainment guy went - he wasn't there on either visit, and it looked like no fun was being had by anyone. Something changed, folks. I don't know what, but hear me when I say that VIBES ARE OFF big time. In the words of the fella at the table next to me that night: Don't. Save yourself.

Service was great. We were here for a conference and we went to the bar to get drinks and went…read moreoutside. The bartender came out to check on us. I had the Boombox and it wad absolutely delicious. I was tempted to purchase the glass but $30 was a little too much. *Suggestion* If someone does want the glass, take the price of the drink off the purchase price. I definitely would have purchased it that way. I will give the bartender credit for attempting to make the sell. He was overall great. I would definitely recommend and say try the Boombox!

Sure, why not hit the Trophy Room? You want a drink, and they have them!…read moreVery chill place we spent a little time in. Good (strong) drinks and plenty of local beers on tap. We didn't eat so I can't speak to the food, but the bartenders were great and attentive and made for a good experience. Good place to kind of chat and be left alone if you don't need anything. Definitely nothing special or fancy, but pretty classic Alaska bar and would go back. Also decent patio situation if you want some fresh air.

Trophy Room Lounge...south Anchorages' local neighborhood bar, connected to Jewel Lake Bowl…read more I rarely frequent this place, but it's a laid back chill vibe. Tight security who are welcoming and respectful. Large bar area with a few local tap options. Mounted TV's, pool tables, popcorn machine, high top tables and booths. They also have a cute outdoor patio area. They have jukebox karaoke weekly. Beer is allowed in the bowling alley now, so watch out for servers behind you, running those orders out. Would love to see live music in this space. Usually the music is better in the bowling alley.

We wanted to love this place because of the unique vibe and theme, but unfortunately our experience…read morewas disappointing from start to finish. As soon as we walked in, we were told to seat ourselves. We sat for about 15 minutes without being acknowledged before someone finally came over and asked if we'd been helped. To make matters worse, we didn't even have menus at our table. There was a self-serve water station, but the cups available were dirty, which wasn't a great first impression. Once our order was finally taken, it took another 30 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did, the food was bland, lacked seasoning, and was extremely overpriced for the quality. Honestly, you can get better Hawaiian food at L&L for much less money. The final straw was overhearing the table next to us complaining to the manager about the service. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the manager started bad-mouthing the owner and the location, talking about how he'd been telling them to change things. Having that conversation in front of customers was incredibly unprofessional and not a good look for the business.

The hamburger was too rare that the center was cold and raw. The adobo chicken plate was heavily sauced to a point the underlying rice was drenched, too salty, and the chicken thighs too dry considering how much sauce covered it - I couldn't finish it. We let our waitress (who was so sweet and kind) know to give feedback to the kitchen staff. Just a few tweaks here and there and this place would be great! I hope to return for the amazing Mai Tai and try something else in their extensive menu. Happy NOM'ing! :)

Food was fantastic - my wife and I split the French Dip…read moresandwich (the "Denali Dip") and our friends got some other stuff, including the reindeer hot dog. We also got bowls of clam chowder. Everything was DELICIOUS, and I wished I had gotten my own sandwich to be honest. Ambiance is super cool as well - laid back "lodge" vibe that truly felt like Alaska (intentionally so, I know, I know). Service was quick and pleasant as well, couldn't ask for more on that front. But the COOLEST part is that the restaurant sits next to the largest seaplane spot in Alaska (field? base?), and there were a constant stream of awesome-looking seaplanes taking off and landing. As an aviation geek, it's darn hard to beat. I was nerding out. Loved the Fancy Moose, and this is probably one of those "must-visit" spots when staying in Anchorage. It was right across the street-ish from our Marriott hotel as well. If you are in town, make sure to check it out - you won't regret it!

I've been drooling over Tug Bar's "Overboard Bloodys," since at least 2022…read more Guess who finally made it to Settlers Bay, with the fam in tow, to indulge?! :) I came for the Overboard Bloody ($65) but had to try their buffet breakfast first. It was actually pretty great, for a bar buffet. The sole waitress/bartender was super sweet. She seemed to appreciate that we paid with cash. We're a colored neurodivergent family. We stick out like a sore thumb. I kinda expect to be treated differently, (especially in the sticks) but we weren't, here :) Tug's buffet breakfast was better than any hotel buffet breaky, that's for sure! They had french toast sticks, blueberry pancakes, different protein options, biscuits and gravy etc. No soda on tap, only cans. No strips or chicken nuggets here. I kinda figured and we planned to stop elsewhere for my son's eats (ARFID eater). Apparently, there are people who make reservations JUST for the overboard bloody's, so arriving at 11am (they opened at 10am), still had us a waiting a good 30-40min for ours. It was worth it! Tug Bar changes the toppings each week. This week was insane! Candy + an entire chicken, pork chop, lobster tail, sandwich, pretzel etc. see the photo and vid. I didn't need help drinking it, but of course I had my family help me eat it. We had lots of leftovers to take home. I can't wait to return one day! They have a sweet patio area!
