Better speakers and they have a full service kitchen with excellent steak Wednesday through Sunday. In fact, the menu is excellent. Highly recommend. Good service, and great local tap list. Pool table. Red Bull. Four different flavors. Five if you include sugar free as a flavor. This is your full on dive experience with great food and loud music.

Trivia: What is a schwabenhof? (I did look up the German word, and I will say, it sort of matches)…read more I must say, according to Google translate, I might like Blick auf die Berge instead. The view is spectacular. The beer selection matches the name. And there is representation from my favorite brewery, Weihenstephaner. The decor is rustic and fun. At first I wanted to say the food is the downside. But really, the lack of food is the downside. The fries we had with their special seasoning (is it Lawrys?) was okay, but reminded me of oven cooked frozen fries. I wish there was good German good, well, anywhere in Alaska. Service was great! Friendly, attentive.

Alaskana Social Club is truly a hidden gem. If you know, you know…read more The food is some of the freshest you'll find--thoughtfully made right here in Alaska. Their salads are always crisp and vibrant, and the revolving menu keeps things exciting while still feeling intentional and local. You can tell real care goes into every plate. The space itself is absolutely beautiful with an upscale, cozy feel that makes you want to linger. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which just adds to the whole experience. And a big shoutout to the drinks--so good, even for us sober girls. Most of their cocktails can be made non-alcoholic, and they're just as delicious and thoughtfully crafted. This is one of those places you bring friends to when you want to impress them, but also somewhere you'll keep coming back to yourself. Fresh food, local heart, stunning atmosphere--10/10. Would absolutely recommend.

They have a large choice of food items and they serve breakfast all day. We ordered corn fritters w honey butter to try. They were amazing! I had two and could have eaten more but my dinner hadn't come out yet. I ordered the Halibut fish & chips. I was impressed how tasty they were. Perfectly fried and seasoned well. The tartar sauce was good. The cole slaw was okay so I tried the potato salad which was better. Overall great meal! Since we had a large party, they ran out of desserts before I had a chance to order. The 17 kids in the group were able to get order desserts, the adults did not. No worries. The trip was for the kids.

But so many options makes the possibilities feel almost endless. The bacon is crispy. If you like your bacon chewy, maybe ask for it that way. I like mine crispy and it's been that way EVERY SINGLE TIME. YAY! - - THE DOWNSIDE The decaf coffee is not great. I've had it three times and I think it's instant coffee, maybe? Whatever it is, it's bad. In a state with so much great coffee, this seems like a point that shouldn't be bad. Sigh* The over medium eggs are really over easy. This is a bummer. The diner of Alaska that can make me true over medium eggs will forever earn my patronage. - - Conclusion It's okay the coffee is bad, because they had a porter on tap which was almost like drinking an iced coffee. At least that's what I'm going with. =]

My family shared a Hawaiian Pizza and a Palmer Special Pizza. The crust was authentically hand-tossed, and the toppings were fresh. The flavor? It was really good, but not amazing. It needed some garlic or a bit more flavor. The beer--amazing selection! We enjoyed the GlacierBrewery Raspberry Wheat and the Turnagain Mexican Lager. The hand-cut fries were disappointing. They were very wet with grease, almost as if the fryer wasn't working quite right. The service was personable and on top of their game despite being busy.

Well, sweeties, we like beer and this place has the best tap menu in the valley. The food isn't fine dining. But it doesn't suck and if you like decent pub food then this place will work for you. Like I said, we come for the beer and the food is just to fill the belly. We've always had good service. The live music in the summer is an added bonus. My favorite food is the Thai salad wrap, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, the burgers are usually good as is the pizza.
