Fiancé and I ordered a Blackberry Julep and a Cucumber Gulch. Both of the drinks looked very pretty but tasted absolutely horrible. I got the cucumber one and it just tasted so bitter and horribly made and the blackberry one was only better that it didn't taste bitter - but it lacked in flavor. Oh well. We were just here from our cruise and just checking out different breweries and saloons since we have such a long port stop. But this one was a very disappointing one to say the least

Great laid back dive bar in town off the main strip, really enjoyed their selection of local beers and unique shot menu. Service was good but was a tad bit slow as there was only 1 guy working when a flood of people came in. Great skagway merchandise available along the walls as well. Overall a good time and worth the spot in!

We popped into Happy Endings Saloon as a last stop in Skagway before heading back to our cruise ship. When we got in around 1:30pm, there weren't many people inside and we easily found seating at the bar. There was only one bartender working though, and while we were greeted upon seating, it did take a minute to get a drink order in. They had an extensive menu of house cocktails as well as a nice selection of local beers. We started with the Happy Little Trees shot that pistachio and spruce tip vodkas, delicious! I then got a "Just the Tip," which was their take on a mule, with their house infused spruce tip gin. Delicious and refreshing. The bar had a number of games like billiards and a stage where they definitely have live music on certain nights. They also had a huge selection of fun merch and souvenirs. As we drank, the bar filled up and it did become increasingly harder to get the bartender's attention, which would be my only critique. Definitely needs at least two bartenders scheduled to keep up with demand. Overall, a fun spot with great drinks, would return next time I'm in town!

Cute little place off the beaten path. We came during off season so they were out of some of their signature cocktails which was a bummer but we'll be back to we're ever in town again in the summer.

Fun saloon off the beaten path. We were served by Alyssa and she was very attentive and helpful. We tried several of their specialty drinks and they were very delicious. It was relaxing, watching Bob Ross paint and the Bears frolic in the river. Great place to visit when in Skagway I would highly recommend the Happy Endings Saloon.

Burrito from Peppers and a pint of Spruce Ale

When in Alaska, drink Alaska . . . meaning, try the local brews. Who would go to Alaska and then order a pint of . . . well, some CA IPA? Problem is, the local Brewing Company seemed so crowded and touristy. Stopped by a local food truck and they said I could take my "burrito" to the saloon and order a local brew. The place was pretty empty, so I sauntered up to the old school bar and ordered my pint of Whipsaw Spruce Ale from Klondike Brewing. Took it out to the back deck and watched a couple play corn hole while enjoying my food and drink. That was a damn good Ale and complimented my spicy vegan chorizo with ancho and guajillo peppers wrap nicely. Such a cool experience away from the crowds and the craziness. Not to mention the name of the saloon is one of a kind!

Rude doorman turned away some visitors and accused them of having fake ID, embarrassing them unnecessarily, as their ID was legit.

OMG, where to begin. My family and I visited Skagway today and discovered the greatest restaurant…read morepossibly in the entire state! We weren't there for a typical meal, we did a culinary and Alaskan gardening class. These two things happen to be my all time favorite pass times. I learned so much from nearly every staff member I came into contact with. Their pastry chef taught us so much about bread making and the science behind it and was incredibly knowledgeable. The in house gardener (yes they have one of those!) grows ingredients on site to help supplement food costs and she taught us so much about how climate impacts the plants she grows. (Their rhubarb was gigantic) everything we ate was off the charts amazing! If I had to give a negative comment it would be that the manager seemed inconvenienced by the guests and made sure to tell us that we were keeping him from his busy day, but to be fair he said he isn't usually the one who gives guest presentations so I have to give him props for doing it even when he clearly had other things to do. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE if you find yourself in Skagway, but get there early because space is limited. 11/10 Great job!!!

Olivia's Bistro is a doubly wonderful establishment. They have a free standing restaurant that is…read morenext to a nice outdoor dining area for their Reindeer Hotdog food truck. We were walking around the town and saw their sign for a Reindeer Ruben that caught our interest. There was only a small line to order which was good because we were not sure if the hotdog was going to be a meal or a snack. The portion size was average so we decided to share one as a snack. They also had the option to have it as a Chili Dog instead. The service was very friendly and our food was prepared pretty quickly. The Reindeer Hotdog was served in a french bread roll that was a little bigger than the dog but it held all the ingredients in it just fine. I liked the crunch of the hot dog skin and the cabbage slaw on top was fresh. I didn't notice the cheese at first and it was a very thin slice. The sauce on top was a ketchup mayo mix like on a regular Ruben sandwich. The flavors were good and the hotdog was hot. Next time I will have to try their main sit down restaurant.

New scale I just came up with for breweries! It's 1 to 10 on how traditional they are…read more A "1" would be a brewery that only makes a pale ale, a porter, a stout, a blonde, and an occasional IPA. (the most traditional, for an American craft brewery, at least) A "10" would be a brewery that makes marshmallow aged imperial seltzer sours. (Non-traditional to the point of parody) This isn't a scale for how "good" a brewery is, just for the types of beers you might find there. If you like classic American styles, a "1" would be the best. If you like sour milkshape apricot IPAs, a "10" would be best. I fall somewhere in middle, but leaning towards less-traditional. I would put Haines at a 4. The beers they make here are solid, but pretty safe. I loved everything I had, but the hoppy lager may have been my favorite! I love lagers, I love hops, these two never meet enough for my tastes! A huge disclaimer though (and they almost lost a star for these) is how brutally stubborn and rigid some of their policies are: - No tasters...this is...the reason lots of people go to breweries. This sounds like a law that Alaska would make to punish breweries with but this brewery whips themselves with this restriction. - 7pm closing time. Speaking of self-flagellation, this brewery closes an hour earlier than the already-early-state-mandated closing time of 8pm. It's pretty silly that the sun sets after 9:30pm in Haines, and the brewery closes at 7. - No growler fills for any growler but theirs. The reason given is cleanliness and not guaranteeing beer quality. However, the main thing that destroys beer quality these days is not microbes, it's oxygen, and they do not CO2 purge their growlers, so these are going to go bad in a week or two just like any other brewery...whether you buy a growler from them or not. The building and location, are awesome. They have a bright and sunny beer garden in the back. The building is new and squeaky clean, with high ceilings. I wish I could've gone when they had the old, folksy location though!

There is a sign above the front door beer for sale by owner. I find this amusing because a large…read moreamount of buildings in the area have a for sale by owner sign. When entering it is a very clean well lit seating area with a garden out back you can sit to have your drinks. The quality was decent and the staff were friendly. I have to say this experience was 5 stars for me. The beer all depends on your tastes.
