Dear Reader: if, like me, you thought the Fairview Inn was the "true locals bar" in Talkeetna, the…read moreI am here to tell you that, like me, your are WRONG! The Teepee is the *TRUE* locals bar. Drinks are dirt cheap. Maybe the cheapest I've ever seen in Alaska. You can get some beers for $4 which is unheard of in the 49th state in 2023. Are they great beers? Not really. Do they fit the friendly-divey vibe of this local watering hole perfectly? Yes, really. It's pretty ironic that the most locals-only bar in town is part of a hotel...but it's true. Disregard all the reviews talking about this place being smoky. That has changed and this place no longer smells of smoke, nor is it allowed. If you're a dorky tourist, you'll likely still be welcomed here. Just expect to be the only dorky tourists in the joint.

Inside there are a myriad of pictures mostly of people you will not recognize because they tend to be local or traveling musicians that apparently provide amazing entertainment for the local folks. There is however, one famous picture and that is a John Denver and his dog catching a salmon. What about the food? I had a BLT which hit the spot and another in our group had a half pound burger which also hits the spot. I don't remember what the third person had but they enjoyed their meal and told me they would give it four stars. All in all it was a great visit we got her tummy is filled with some delicious food while soaking in local ambience. There was no live music while we were there, but I could imagine given all the pictures of musicians.

Perfect stop after a day at Denali. The place is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. It was big…read moretime raining when we were there so the outdoor area was shutdown. They have about 20 beers on tap from IPAs, lagers, sours, ciders and everything in between. We all ordered flights to try as many as possible. There's a giant pizza oven and the pizzas were really good. They are personal pizzas and I honestly wish they were classic small, medium, large options. The merch section is huge and honestly for Alaska it will be the cheapest shirt you find. I love my new shirt for $25. The whole place is fun and clean and again the perfect place for a long day outside. And great for big groups too

Everyone was cheerful and efficient. I especially liked Joe our server, and I appreciated Josh the F&B supervisor checking in every now and then to ensure happiness and contentment. He also gave us advice on a couple of hikes and walks to enjoy in the area.

Husband ordered the french dip and he commented as amazing, the best french dip he ever had! I had a cheese burger and thought it was a solid burger, meat was well flavored. Toddler got the grilled cheese and it was yummy as well. Rod took care of us, very nice man.

The bartender was only interested in talking to her group of friends and not checking on anyone in the bar for refills or to see if they wanted their check to leave. Then when I finally spoke up so we could get out of here she asked my friend oh did I do something to piss her off. Like yes, do your job better! That's what you're there for.

And, it was Thanksgiving Day and we had just bailed on an iceclimb because I was developing a stomach flu...and it was actually OPEN! Seemed like the near-perfect time to stop. We were some of the only people in the bar, the bartender was friendly and likely a Mom when not bartending. She told us to grab some of the (free?!) Thanksgiving dinner (?!) in the back. The food was incredible. I felt a little guilty that we were the only people there to eat it! The highlight for me was the turkey soup. It was excellent and, unlike a lot of fowl soups, didn't rely on noodles/rice for texture. The beers we go (Sierra Nevada) also happened to be on special. They were only $2 each!
