    The absolute best music venue in Alaska. Production, lights, sound and event staff are on point. If you're a fan of live music, this is the place.

    Cheers!

    This was a great place to grab a beer! There were a lot of good options and the server was super welcoming. There was some local decor and plenty of places to sit. We did not eat here, but I saw a lot of delicous looking food coming out to other customers.

    Came here the first time recently with my husband and some friends. It was during a Latino night, so downstairs had a live DJ on stage and people dancing on the floor. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We ended up spending time both downstairs and upstairs. Upstairs had food you can order, so we sat at a table and ordered at the bar. My husband and I were standing there for a few minutes, and the bartender lady seemed busy at first, but even after she was finished she kind of just stood there. It wasn't for another few minutes when she came to us, despite us standing there staring and waving at her. She seemed fine when we placed our order and she explained we could not go back to our table until the food came out. Fine. The food was ready, we took it to the table and ate. But when it was time to close our tab, my husband and I went back up. I wanted a refill on my water so I placed the glass next to him. The same lady from before looked at us, turned around and walked to the back to stand in the corner and ignore us. The guy on the other side was busier, but he came over and gave him the receipt to close his check. But then he snatched my glass and dumped it. When my husband finished signing we asked if we could have a refill on the water and he just pointed to the water keg and said "get it from over there." But last time I got it from the bar, he just took my glass. The food was pretty good, though. We ended up ordering the Buffalo wings and beef mac and cheese. The wings weren't too spicy, and they were on the small side but were not dry at all. The Mac and cheese was sooo cheesy! The beef was cut a little thin and the bread crumbs tasted like they were put on top after it was baked, but tasted good regardless. The restrooms both downstairs and upstairs were clean and well kept. The bars itself and general location were also pretty clean. We also loved the giant Connect 4 game. There were also arcade games on the left side upstairs, and a few pool tables for further entertainment. Overall, it was really the rude service that made it a sour experience. Otherwise it would've been a great night.

    Nice bar with open mic night and karaoke nights. Nice welcoming place and great servers.

    We got the Lovely Pels. Seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten. It's the love child of Pelmeni & Pepperoni pizza and it's delicious. Will be back soon!

    The Crystal has become such a Juneau staple in a short amount of time. As a venue, they host so many artists throughout the year, and I've been to a few events here as well. Every time has been so fun, even when things get a bit crazy and busy. Even when it's been super packed and busy, the servers have been great and they're all really cool when they get a chance to chat. Downstairs (main level) has the craft cocktails I usually gravitate towards, with my favorite being the passion fruit bellini. Upstairs is the Bearcade, offering arcade games, giant connect four, pool, and a good selection of standard bar drinks. You can typically order food at either level, and you absolutely should! The Crystal's chef, Ivan, has been creating more and more delicious foods worthy of a sit down restaurant. To have them along with the cool bar atmosphere is chef's kiss! Try any and every type of pizza, because you simply cannot go wrong. The wings are the tastiest in town. As of yesterday, they are serving ceviche (throughout the summer), and it was delicious! Since I'll be moving soon, this is one place I will really miss!

    Service was lacking. Seemed like the bar staff were just not very attentive, even after I was standing at the bar for a few minutes they were busy chatting with each other. The live music was great though, and the pizza was surprisingly tasty with a good leopard print crust. I'd definitely come back if there is something cool happening music-wise.

    Cool looking moose. I think these folks prefer locals. Move here if - you want good service.

    Really neat looking place. We would have enjoyed spending some time here. The bartender and server were not very welcoming. So we took our business down the road a ways.

    First time checking this place out & it was still under some construction since the upstairs level was not yet open. We sat at the bar & had some beers which was nice, nice looking place below there wasn't many people here at the time but the bartender was nice, talkative .. we enjoyed our drinks. I was back in Juneau come August & we stopped by one night to check the place out, much better there was live entertainment below & seemed to be crowded. This time we headed upstairs to check it out not, there's a bar area, you have pool tables , games enough to keep u entertain for a few not too bad. Music playing , some seating areas a little bit of everything if u are here to kill an hour or two not bad they did a nice job with the upstairs area.

    Great venue in what used to be the Viking Bar. The bar tender Nicolas is terrific. Such a nice place where you feel at home. Come visit while in Juneau whether you're coming via air or sea.

    This place is quality. The vibe is very old chic. But, the place is all new with modern touches. Very beautiful place to hang out.

    This was our first time visiting The Alaskan Hotel & Bar, and it was a memorable experience. Known…read morefor their unique "crab fart," we decided to give it a try--it was definitely interesting but pleasantly tasty. The venue itself is rich with history, which adds a lot of character to the place. The bartenders were all friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. If you're in Juneau, I'd recommend stopping in for a drink and soaking up the historical atmosphere. I'm looking forward to coming back on our next visit!

    While the hotel's location is excellent - right in the heart of Juneau's tourist area -…read moreunfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our stay. The convenience of the location simply does not outweigh the poor hospitality and lack of customer care we experienced. I normally enjoy supporting small independent businesses like this one, but this stay has made me seriously rethink where I choose to spend my money going forward. Having stayed in both luxury hotels and unique properties with character, I know that basic professionalism and genuine guest care should be standard regardless of price or style. Disliked · Upon our arrival to this property we made our way to our room only to discover it was not the Family Loft with two queen beds we had specifically booked. Instead, we were given a room with one queen bed and a pull-out couch. When I returned to the front desk, I was told the booked room was occupied by a long-term tenant and unavailable. While I understand availability issues can arise, the hotel had been in direct contact with me through the booking platform's messaging system prior to our arrival and never mentioned this problem. It appeared they chose not to inform us, likely to prevent us from canceling. The pull-out couch was in poor condition, making it impossible for our adult family member to get a decent night's sleep. The queen bed was also uncomfortable, with our feet elevated in an awkward position. The window was broken and OPEN at least 2 inches. We did not expect a luxury resort, but we did expect the room type we reserved. Most concerning was the staff's response. Rather than showing empathy or offering solutions, they became defensive, blaming the booking company and stating the room had been unavailable for weeks. Since I booked December 6th, this lack of notification wasted our time and created unnecessary inconvenience. I politely requested compensation for just one night due to the inconvenience, which I believe was more than reasonable. Unfortunately, the hotel made no effort to resolve the situation or make things right despite my several follow-ups. Prospective guests should be aware: while the location may seem convenient, the poor communication, room inaccuracies, and indifferent customer service made this a frustrating experience we would not repeat. To make matters worse, the hotel was crazy loud until 3am due to the bar adjacent to the property, making rest nearly impossible. We will be visiting Juneau several times a year in the coming years with August 2026 being our next stay, sadly we cannot support this small business.
