Husband ordered the french dip and he commented as amazing, the best french dip he ever had! I had a cheese burger and thought it was a solid burger, meat was well flavored. Toddler got the grilled cheese and it was yummy as well. Rod took care of us, very nice man. My first impression was questionable because of the pool tables and bar like atmosphere but the dining hall was very comfortable and the view takes your breath away.

Dear Reader: if, like me, you thought the Fairview Inn was the "true locals bar" in Talkeetna, the…read moreI am here to tell you that, like me, your are WRONG! The Teepee is the *TRUE* locals bar. Drinks are dirt cheap. Maybe the cheapest I've ever seen in Alaska. You can get some beers for $4 which is unheard of in the 49th state in 2023. Are they great beers? Not really. Do they fit the friendly-divey vibe of this local watering hole perfectly? Yes, really. It's pretty ironic that the most locals-only bar in town is part of a hotel...but it's true. Disregard all the reviews talking about this place being smoky. That has changed and this place no longer smells of smoke, nor is it allowed. If you're a dorky tourist, you'll likely still be welcomed here. Just expect to be the only dorky tourists in the joint.

Inside there are a myriad of pictures mostly of people you will not recognize because they tend to be local or traveling musicians that apparently provide amazing entertainment for the local folks. There is however, one famous picture and that is a John Denver and his dog catching a salmon. What about the food? I had a BLT which hit the spot and another in our group had a half pound burger which also hits the spot. I don't remember what the third person had but they enjoyed their meal and told me they would give it four stars. All in all it was a great visit we got her tummy is filled with some delicious food while soaking in local ambience. There was no live music while we were there, but I could imagine given all the pictures of musicians.

I ate it as my meal and it was the perfect amount. The drinks were good too, could barely taste the alcohol, which I could use a little more. The best part, though, was the atmosphere.

The vibes were perfect, and our server was super nice, chill, and made us feel really welcome. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a meal, enjoy the views, and relax, I 100% recommend Denali Brew Pub!

They have about 20 beers on tap from IPAs, lagers, sours, ciders and everything in between. We all ordered flights to try as many as possible. There's a giant pizza oven and the pizzas were really good. They are personal pizzas and I honestly wish they were classic small, medium, large options. The merch section is huge and honestly for Alaska it will be the cheapest shirt you find. I love my new shirt for $25. The whole place is fun and clean and again the perfect place for a long day outside. And great for big groups too
