    Sitting Area at Griz Bar
    Jeremy L.

    9/10/2025 - Stop at Griz Bar and enjoyed the great ambience with fire pits. It offers two kind of local crafted IPA beers and other beers, but no coffee. The bartender is very friendly.

    Becoming one of our traditions when in Juneau. Nice little outside bar with wonderful fire pits. They feature Alaska made spirits and the bartenders are very friendly and helpful. Great place to grab a local cocktail on your way back from your daily adventure.

    Cute place with outdoor space and fire pits in the heart of downtown. Great to gather a big group and mingle, easy to find on the corner. Park downtown and walk. Lots of drink options including canned cocktails for people who want something that's easy to order but not beer.

    After dinner near by we stopped at this bar for some drinks, as it usually is in Juneau it was a drizzly evening with light rain & cool temps. For drinks we ordered the Hot toddy this was perfect for the night as we sat by the fire, good music playing. The bar over looks the pier & water at night it was nice since the fire pits are on great to just relax & enjoy some music & cocktails. This was the perfect outdoor spot for our night . the Bartender was nice & friendly , good drinks, service & prices great spot for enjoying a nice evening or day.

    View from the Griz!

    What a FANTASTIC outdoor bar! We were on an RC cruise and had a couple of hours before having to get back on the Ovation, and the sight of this unique venue drew us in. Had some great drinks (and shots!) served by a wonderful bartender - I don't remember her name, but in telling us about her story, she grew up in Juneau, traveled around the country (I do remember her mentioning being in Philadelphia), and then found herself back in Juneau and at the Griz. Also met some great people at the bar - a family from Maryland who was also on the cruise and a couple from Seattle on vacation - chance meetings that added a memorable flavor to the overall experience of the Griz and Juneau. Stopping here was definitely a superb way of topping off our day and our experience in Juneau!

    Nice Chuli Stout, warm fire pit,,

    Fun place to warm up on a brisk Juneau afternoon, luv the fire pits, down side is chairs a little low, had a nice stout, did not get the waitress name but she was on point, a taco truck is next door that's another review. Meet up with a local friend and had a nice visit, will stop in again.

    An excellent grapefruit gin and tonic from a local distillery.

    Perfect spot for outdoor happy hour on a sunny Juneau day. The views are spectacular: snow capped mountains, water everywhere, boats, and float planes. Fire pits for when it gets chilly. For drinks, I only had the Juneauper, a canned grapefruit gin and tonic made by an excellent local gin distillery. Very tasty. Nice energy from the bartender as well!

    This is easily one of the best bars in Juneau. Its simple outdoor location is one of the top spots in town to meet up with other locals.

It was peak lunch time and the advice from the cruise was apt in that it wasn't difficult to get a table. Between both buildings, they do have plenty of seating, which is a mix of bar sitting and high-top tables. I really do like the vibe of the building as it does have that relaxed, pub feel. Definitely better than waiting in line elsewhere. Of course, we did try some food and the king crab. Just opted for one pound and that was more than we needed to get our fix. It was succulent and delicious and if you are like us where you just want to try it, 1 pound for 2 people is just fine given the price ($99 a pound(!), which is cheaper than the more touristy places). We topped it off with a side of the delicious fries (Beer Cheese Hop Salt Fries) and a few pints, it made for quite the perfect afternoon in Juneau. So if you are looking to get in your King Crab fix and not break the bank, while also finding a place a bit more relaxed, highly recommend the Alaskan Brewing Public House.

    Meh. The customer…read moreservice was very poor. Our server must have been in a pissed off mood, probably just for being a resident of boring Juneau, and then whatever else followed that day. Not my fault you chose this life. Food was subpar. Nothing all that much to rave about. I was initially excited for that one crab tomato drink thing, but once I got it, bland and bitter as could be.

You do have to walk about 15 minutes, but the dining room by the water really is the best spot. As we head to the tented dining room, a bald eagle swoops across the sky and lands on a post in the pier. While this is regarded as the best king crab in Alaska, eating king crab in Juneau is actually insanely expensive. Well if you have come all this way, when in Rome? You can order the king crab legs per leg or in a combo that also includes 4 mini crab cakes, a cup of crab bisque, and rolls. If you have a group, get a bucket of crab legs. They offer both red king crabs and golden king crabs. Go with the red and don't bother with the golden. The red king crabs have more meat and have a sweeter flavor. (Also, if you bring cash, you can avoid the 3% credit card fee.) We get a couple combos including crab chowder, crab cakes, drinks, and red king crab legs, plus legs for the rest of the group. They give you a crab cracking tool. There are a couple prongs on top for holding the top of the shell in place and a sharp edge for ripping the shell open from the bottom. Watch out for the sharp pointy spikes of the shell, so tread carefully. You sort of rock the cracker up and down in a straight line lengthwise until the entire cylinder of crab is free. There are three main pieces. The biggest leg segment has the sweetest and firmest crab meat. The smaller leg segment is more tender and even juicier. The body segment has a big bundle of flaky flesh. I can't remember if I've ever had a red king crab leg all to myself, so this is definitely the most and best king crab I've ever had.

    Tracy's is one of those places "you just have to try" but it's probably not a place you'll visit a…read moresecond time. We considered it more of an "excursion/experience" than a legitimate meal. At nearly $100 for a single King Crab leg, it certainly is one of the highest "cost per bite" you'll ever have. And to be honest, it didn't taste much different than the frozen King Crab available at our local grocer's meat counter. Some folks will stand line for nearly an hour to score a seat at a shared table. The crew are friendly and once you finally order the food comes quickly. The room is small, cramped and loud. But, again - it's an experience you'll not get anywhere else. I'm glad we finally crossed this off the list, but I doubt we'll do it again.
