We started with bao buns, or whisky pork buns, which is one of her birthday dinner requests. I got the Dark Horse ramen and she the Business Lounge ramen. We both liked our ramen, and I think I'd get a ramen with a peanut sesame base next time, but found it a bit rich for the wallet. Still, great service and taste. We got the Chocolate Birthday Cake for dessert and they topped it with a cute candle. Lastly, whiskey spelled without the "e" is Scottish, which is what I learned in Scotland, and with the "e" in Ireland. Also, during Pangaea 4 continents had been merged and when split left 4 types of peat, which is why Scottish whisky is so sought after. I've been schooled about Japanese whisky, but when in Anchorage you can get it one of the whiskys at Ginger. Had my sister try on of the Japanese whiskeys in Scotland as part of her flight. It's a must try. I will come again, and will enjoy it, but just kinda squint at the cost...

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!

Food took maybe 10 minutes not long at all. I got the steak frites. Again the fries were not crispy at all. The steak was good, perfectly medium and I couldn't see the sweet bbq sauce on it but could taste it. The dish is not worth $38 though. I'd rather get a baked potato or mashed potato's than fries for it to be that price. Steak was good but nothing amazing. No ad ons for it. It was pre cut into slices. Did t care for the kale salad it came with either. The fresh horseradish sauce was good though. I also got the frankenberry cocktail. They are very small too.

Now, my first culinary experience with this restaurant was a good one, their cheese burger with honey and whipped Brie?!?!?!?!?! Is a masterpiece disguised as a cheese burger the tater tots on the side? Meh! Nothing to see there.

Unforgivable! I wanted to love this pizza so badly but I cannot allow anyone else to spend $28.00 on a dried out, over cooked order of cheese bread. The service was good until I was given Diet Coke instead of Coke Zero. I swear service recovery is such a lost art. C-

S Lounge is a bit of a surprise. It's attached to the most notorious and shady motel in town (bum…read morebum BUUUUM!!!! Travel Inn). At the bequest of a friend, we bopped around town and this was one of his requisite stops. When I realized where we were, I shuddered. Truly, the Travel Inn makes motels in the 3rd world look luxurious. I was not optimisitic about the bar. I was surprised that the S Lounge is a moderatley pleasant dive bar/concert hall. The bar has a smallish stage and dance floor for live music events. There's a cover charge, so that keeps the rif-raf that abound in the neighborhood out. The crowd was mostly goofy but well behaved college kids. Drinks were okay, snacks were okay, the bar was clean enough. Although I REALLY wanted to complain (because did I mention how horrible and ashamed the Travel Inn should be of itself? It's a scourge to humanity!) but I really couldn't. I'd go back if the right band was playing. We happened in on a women's empowerment fundraiser thingie, so it was mostly angry lesbians singing badly. But it was a novel experience and we enjoyed ourselves well enough. I'm going to have to revisit this place to see how it stacks up over time. Check it out. Post a review. I'm really interested to know what other people's experiences will be.

My go to is the Jalapeño Business / veggie delight. This place is busy no matter what time and day you come, so prepare to wait if you hit peak hours. But on the upside - the beers are great too and fast to arrive, so you won't be thirsty while waiting. Noise level is usually low for being so busy, but it may depend on where you end up getting seated. Nice airy feel to the place, decorated in a style that I guess can only be described as...Alaskan? ‍ And yes, even if you stay downtown the drive over here is worth it.

They really missed the mark. For starters we got my husband's usual Chipotle steak pizza. Right off the bat I notice it's a weird oval kind of shape. It's not a circle and the pieces don't add up. I'm positive that the someone in the kitchen sliced out the middle the pizza and put it in the box like it wouldn't be noticed. Worst of all. I ordered a pound of their Korean style wings. I usually love these. I thought initially that these are so tiny it's a good thing it's by the weight, not quantity. Well. These were not fit for consumption. I managed to eat two wings that were on the crunchy side. The rest were unfit for consumption. We're talking chicken wing jerky. A bite cracks right through the bone, crunchy marrow, dry translucent meat. What a disappointment. This wouldn't even be something you could feed a dog. So bad. This experience was the worst I've had with Moose's Tooth. It was so disappointing and also weird. Do better.
