They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite.

Just make sure you dodge all the homeless when walking around downtown.

Most of the appetizers were good except for the poutine fries. They came put cold, cheese curd was not melted and the dish was cold.

One of the best chowders I've had anywhere - parmesan asiago crusted halibut - 4/5, highly recommended by our server as her favorite item even though she doesn't like seafood. It was a solid offering, and could have been better if the garlic mashed potatoes were more tasty (the Alaska Lounge horseradish mashed potatoes would have been a better accompaniment) and seasonal vegetables which in this case were carrots and parsnips neither of which are my favorite (and in my book it's not a vegetable if it's not green) - sourdough bread pudding with vanilla ice cream - 4/5, I love a good bread pudding. This one was good, not great. It was an enormous portion and sitting in a pool of butter? something else? and not so delicious that I felt like I needed to have more than a few bites. I was glad I went for the fun atmosphere and would return just for the seafood chowder.

The calamari was easily the best that I've ever had in my life. The chowder was absolutely fantastic. I also tried their beer flight, I don't know if I've ever mentioned beer in any of my reviews, cause I typically don't drink it. I was absolutely shocked to discover that the stout was one of my favorites, with that dark chocolate finish. All of the beers were really good, just a bit filling. Today I sampled the French dip and a slice of pizza, and both of those were absolutely fantastic. Had the calamari again, and everyone agreed that it was pretty much the best ever. Service last night was very good, our server took care to explain the food and drink options as well as answering any questions. He was very attentive and friendly. I went with a large group for lunch today and our server was excellent, she nailed every order and was friendly and quite attentive. Large groups can be a hassle, but she handled it excellently. The atmosphere last night was quite busy as you would imagine on a Friday night. That's why the good service and great food is extra impressive. We had a private room for our group lunch today, and it was quite nice as well. I would absolutely come back here again, and list them as a must visit for anyone visiting Anchorage.

Hands down one of the best local bars in downtown Anchorage…read more I never feel unsafe here even with the Gaslight down the way (and yes, we all know that place has its issues). The Pio just gives off the best bar energy downtown. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and always take such good care of you, which honestly makes all the difference. They bring in DJs throughout the week with different sets, and if you're there before the DJ starts, they've got a TouchTunes jukebox so you can play your own music. Inside, there's plenty to do: arcade-style games, pool tables, and air hockey, perfect if you're bouncing around downtown and want to actually hang out somewhere. They've done a few facelifts inside over the years, and it's only gotten better. This is easily one of our all-time favorite spots when we're downtown. And the best part? Sometimes on the weekends, if you're lucky, you step outside and there's a little hot dog stand set up right near the front door. Truly elite downtown behavior and one of my favorite things about being down there.
