I had the Boombox and it wad absolutely delicious. I was tempted to purchase the glass but $30 was a little too much. *Suggestion* If someone does want the glass, take the price of the drink off the purchase price. I definitely would have purchased it that way. I will give the bartender credit for attempting to make the sell. He was overall great. I would definitely recommend and say try the Boombox!

Tight security who are welcoming and respectful. Large bar area with a few local tap options. Mounted TV's, pool tables, popcorn machine, high top tables and booths.

Would love to see live music in this space. Usually the music is better in the bowling alley.

We didn't eat so I can't speak to the food, but the bartenders were great and attentive and made for a good experience. Good place to kind of chat and be left alone if you don't need anything. Definitely nothing special or fancy, but pretty classic Alaska bar and would go back. Also decent patio situation if you want some fresh air.

I must give credit to this Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel. Although I was just here for one evening to…read morerest my head before officially driving famed Seward Highway...it really was the ideal place to stay. Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel is a rustic and cozy wooden lodge situated right off Seward Highway. It specifically sits 25 miles south of downtown Anchorage and 100 miles north of the town of Seward. In fact, the address for Brown Bear states that it's situated in the town of Indian, Alaska. I've never heard of Indian, AK...but basically if you need a place to stay in and around Seward Highway, this Brown Bear Lodge is accommodative. What was even more terrific about staying here was that the location felt far away from the hustle and bustle of Anchorage. The hotel views look out upon the scenic Turnagain Arm waters with the snow-capped Kenai mountains standing tall in the distance. Even though Brown Bear is located right off a very busy section of Seward Highway, I genuinely felt like I was staying in the heart of nature. And btw...when I did visit and spend the night here, unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on beside the highway. So here it is, Brown Bear Saloon and Lodge...a prime spot for those getting ready to start and or continue their Seward Highway journeys. Well, one thing...when I woke up in the morning, I actually had to backtrack a little up north on Seward Highway for about 15 miles. Yeah so, I take that back, the lodge isn't really the start of Seward Highway. But I traveled back north for 15 miles to the Potter Marsh Boardwalk where I explored for a little before returning back on Seward Highway for the 115-mile trek south. Basically...this Brown Bear Lodge and Saloon was much better than grabbing some random hotel in downtown Anchorage. It had personality and charm. What was surprisingly amazing about my stay was the price! Throughout my 3-week voyage around Alaska, Brown Bear had the cheapest rate by far! It was $67 (with taxes and fees included) for a room I had on the 2nd floor just above the restaurant. I mean, $67...can it get any cheaper for a place to stay right along iconic Seward Highway at the start of summer travel season? Lol, I don't think so. Although my room would be standard for most tourists...for me it really stood out with a lot of great amenities. It had a walk-in glass door shower (not just a tub with a curtain), very comfortable towels to dry off afterwards. And here me...I don't think I'd ever recall thinking about towels making a difference during my stay, but they really were fluffy and comfortable. Lol, maybe they were brand new? The room also had a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee pot, good sink area and a giant mirror with good lighting. Btw...I checked-in, inside the restaurant. Then I was given a key and shown the stairway to the 2nd floor. Too bad I had already eaten in Anchorage prior to arriving here because the restaurant looked very interesting...like a casual blue-collar spot to grab a good old-fashioned burger and fries...or simply just your typical all-American type of fair. Point is...the restaurant appeared accommodating for those spending the night as you can just have a hearty meal and then return to your room. Some extras about the restaurant...it resembled a bar/pub with a colorfully fun atmosphere. They had high top tables and chairs...a huge selections of beers on-tap. I believe I saw a billiards table to play and plenty of televisions to watch sports. I'd recommend eating here if you didn't catch a bite back in Anchorage. Overall, I'm happy I discovered Brown Bear Saloon and Hotel. I found it on Priceline. I couldn't have asked for a better one-night stay after all the traveling I had done prior to arriving here. This place is definitely emblematic of your off the beaten path motel/lodge sitting right in the cross section for traveling to all parts of southern Alaska.

My husband went inside to check in and he said that the people there were incredibly friendly. The bar was filled with locals and it seemed like a great place to just hang out. Our room was really comfortable and pretty clean.The only thing that I noted was that there were a lot of cobwebs up on the ceiling, but I know that they were pretty high up there. The room isn't anything incredibly fancy.But for the price, it seemed really reasonable. The kids slept on the futon that pulls out. The futon does block the door just a little bit whenever you pull it out, but it wasn't enough to really cause a problem. Our bed was comfortable, although there was a little bit of light shining through the curtains all night, given that it was summertime and there was so much sun out.
