Best cocktails in a town. Very friendly lady serving. Bloody Mary was made with dill.

We had an absolutely brilliant time at this out-of-the-way small batch distillery on the outskirts of town. Got a tip from someone at the local visitors center about this spot, so we took a chance and hiked on up to their location...so glad we did! The inside was quirky and interesting, with great tunes playing as well. The guy behind the bar (sorry, cannot remember his name) was a hoot and we quickly connected with him as he made our craft cocktails. They were so good, we had a round two before stumbling our way back to town for dinner. It was a real treat to find this spot, and being my wife's birthday made it even that much more special. Thanks for all you do, Skagway Spirits Distillery!

Great cocktails, locally distilled on site. Right next to the Skagway airport. Worth the short walk from downtown. Favorite amongst the locals. Highly recommend while Visiting Skagway.

You'll have to walk almost a mile away from the tourist area, and it'll totally be worth it ! This tiny place was amazing. I checked it out while my friends went for the train tour. The bartender offered me samples of the gin and vodka. Then I told him I generally prefer bourbon over gin & vodka, so the bartender (forgot to ask the gentleman's name) offered to make an old fashion (they just started doing bourbon and they had a small batch [not officially selling yet] ) I think it was aprox 55% alcohol content. I just sipped it while amazed at the view of the mountains and the private airport next to it. haha. Upon finishing my drink, I went back to meet up with my friends and brought them all back to Skagway Spirit's Distilliery. My friends thought I brought them to a sketchy area, as we were off the beaten path. (Are there any dangerous areas in Alaska?) My second drink was a dirty martini. Was solid, but couldn't touch the old fashioned. So I ordered old fashion again. My friends tried a few different drinks from the menu. Overall - the most special drink was an almond sour. It was ridiculously good. Amazing flavor, and balance. If they would of sold bourbon bottles for sales, I would of bought one. Drinks were surprisingly inexpensive ($10 per drink) Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area. I might not ever return, but was a very special memory.

Go here! We had some fabulous cocktails at Skagway Spirits Distillery, and were especially blown away by the rhubarb Collins. Omg, so damn delicious and beautiful to look at too. The fireweed cosmo was tasty to boot. Our bartender was super friendly, nice & welcoming. The bar is cute, and decorated well. Again, go here. You won't be disappointed.

Off the beaten path, but we'll worth the 5 blocks off Main Street. Small batch Gin and Vodka. Outside and inside areas to sit and enjoy. Stephenie was a great hostess and bartender.

Rhubarb Collins
Gillian D.

Very delicious cocktails made using local ingredients, and prepared artfully. Their staff was very friendly, and providing some spirit tastings to help us make decisions. It was a beautiful day, and their outdoor patio is the perfect spot to enjoy your bevvy. A bit off the main path of Skagway, but absolutely worth the walk!

what an amazing find. but off the beaten path, took us about 15 mins to walk from the downtown area but it was nice to get out of the touristy area! great small menu made with their own spirits. the gin was so clean, really a whole different level of spirits. definitely recommend!

Almond sour and a rhubarb gin drink..

Bit off the beaten path for the tourists, but worth the walk. Met the distiller and sampled their first whiskey a little early.. tried a couple of their signature cocktails.. Almond sour awesome.. cool vibe to this place..

Gin

A couple blocks off the main drag and little quieter. Had a grapefruit rosemary gin drink which was lovely.

New friends at Skagway Spirits.  Great spirits, drinks and even better people!

We love Skagway simply for the people... but the drinks help too! I had the classic gin and tonic, which was amazing, and the hubby had the Rhubarb Collins. The distiller distills the gin with herbs and florals in such a way that won't overpower your taste buds or mixed drinks. We decided to purchase a bottle for home. The merch here is also really cool, the coolest shirts I bought in all of Alaska, and I bought a LOT of bar shirts... probably too many (is that possible? I don't know!). We loved that the locals are passionate about Skagway and open to teach you about the amazing history and their current way they live life there. Truly a wonderful experience. Skagway is by far our favorite. We had an awesome time roaming around with Redd (part owner/captain of Sea Craft Hover Tours... make sure to check that tour out too!)

Need this sign!

Wonderful small business with great spirits and amazing craft cocktails. We stopped in here after hiking to the cemetery and Lower Reid Falls in Skagway. We were warmly greeted and offered samples of their gin and vodka. The owner explained the process of making the syrups used in the cocktails, which included rhubarb and fireweed. We had 2 cocktails each and every drink was amazing. At only $8 each they are an incredible bargain for a craft cocktail. This place really is a hidden gem. Well worth a visit!

Interesting limit of drinking thanks to AK law

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!!!

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.

As long as you can do a few steps you can do this tour. We had wild Jessie and he dresses the part. He's very knowledgeable about the history of Skagway. Since he lives in the town all year-round he gives great suggestions on places to eat and go. The sled dog demonstration was fun to watch. We got to meet the dogs and hold puppies. Plenty of dogs to go around. We then learned how to pan for gold. You get to keep it! They measure your gold and tell you what it's worth. Very fun.

Klondike Mike was our tour guide and really made the railway experience over the top. Incredibly informative, personable, and fun tour guide. Enjoyed how he interacted with the group individuals, especially when he spoke engaging our 8 year old daughter when talking how these experiences will last a life time, the importance of memories, etc. Dredge Town gold panning was corny, but fun fun. The only downside was how the actors let you know multiple times before you ever start panning to expect miniscule amounts which really breaks the illusion of the gold rush and panning. The sled talk was great and the dogs were fun to watch. They dogs only ran one lap around the track, it would have been nice to see them go a bit more since there is not a lot of space to view them run the view is likely to be obstructed for many in the group. Lots of cuddle time with the puppies and a lot of interaction with the adult dogs.

We booked with Kate by email, and she helped us adjust the tour so we didn't go to the suspension bridge since I am afraid of heights. He took us up to Canada, the same route the train takes. He stopped a few times for us to take pictures and wander around at the waterfalls and lake. On the way home, Jay found a bear along side the road eating the dandelions and turned around - the bear crossed the road, but it was so much fun to see him up close and just loved it!! He also took us up to see the sled dog mushing camp, which was wonderful. We pet the puppies and saw them pulling a sled. It is run by a sledder, and we learned a lot about it from a professional. We also saw mountain goats and eagles. AND it did take more than 4 hours, which should have cost more, but we were having so much fun and I think he enjoyed our group too, and he didn't ask for more money, but should have if we had known ahead. We were having so much fun that I didn't realize it had been 5 hours instead of 4 until it was nearly over - so we tipped him more to try to make up for it, - but it was amazing and fun, and we loved every minute!!
