    Loved this bar! One of the more "upscale" bars in the town. Ambiance was great, service was great. Cocktails were yummy!

    Have to say the penicillin is one of my all time favorite cocktails, and The Narrows Bar makes a great one. Can really taste the scotch floater. Our bartender made our drinks fast and delicious! The bar has a comfy couch, which is always another bar favorite of mine! Great bar!!

    Juneau has a few places that offer something: a food, a drink, a vibe...that nowhere in Anchorage, a town with roughly 10X as many people, has. This is firmly one of those. (Amalga Distillery is another) I can unequivocally say that the penicillin I had here is the best cocktail I have ever had. It wasn't good "for Juneau", it wasn't good "for Alaska", it was just good. Really good. I've had penicillins in restaurants where you can't get out without spending $100 per person, and they were nowhere as near as good as this one. Not ever close! That mix of smoke and spice and sweet was just perfectly balanced. I'm salivating just thinking about it. I also really, REALLY appreciated that the staff were knowledgeable without being gatekeepy or pretentious. That is rare for a craft cocktail bar. (I honestly would go to cocktail bars more if it weren't for the this insufferably terroir some of them seem to have) You usually here a lot of non-scientific fluff from bartenders at places like this, NOT this one though! I will be back, they made my birthday night super-special and...we didn't even tell them it was my birthday, let alone that I had just turned 40.

    Old fashioned and Alpine Blue

    Such an amazing addition to downtown Juneau. Cozy and welcoming inside but without losing a little high end shine. It is tiny inside though. They don't call it the Narrows for nothing. The bartenders were friendly and chatty, happy to give suggestions. The cocktails were good with a couple standouts. The Mai Thai was recommended to us by the bartender and blew all the other drinks away. Flavorful, a little spiced smelled wonderful, we got two! The alpine blue was the other standout. Along the lines of a gin fizz with such amazing blueberry flavor, so fresh, and the rosemary complimented the gin beautifully. The paper plane was solid as far as paper planes go. The side car and old fashioned left a little wanting. Both seemed a touch watery, like they were left sitting on the ice slightly too long before poured.

    First night in Juneau and we found this amazing bar. Every drink was up to the mark. Matt surprised us with one of his own creations too and it was spectacular. There was live music playing and a lot of people in the bar enjoying the return to normalcy. Order the penicillin if you like a spicy drink. You won't regret it. Update- Went again the next night and had a different bar tender who were learning the recepies and the drinks were good just not as good as the previous night.

    What a fantastic bar! Beautiful interior and amazing cocktails. Perfect for before or after dinner. Service was super quick and friendly and the drinks were delish and unique. I hope to be back soon!

    Now this is what a bar is supposed to be like. Cozy and full of people. It's beautiful inside and they can make anything you want. The music is good and the bartender was attentive. I heard that they also have a mixologist. I ordered something off the menu called a Blue Magoo and it was delicious. I'm not sure why we didn't discover this great bar before but we will be back in August for sure. Cudos to the bartender for refusing to serve the drunk lady. She gave her a glass of water. Pure class.

    Super tasty drinks

    Great craft cocktails right in the heart of downtown Juneau. Prices range from $10 up to $13 for their featured cocktails & a huge selection of spirits. The ones we tasted were great, and the bartender was very knowledgeable.

    Summer splash, the last word
    Aish N.

    No better way to start our trip in Juneau than with Matt's craft cocktails. It was a vibrant place even on a Tuesday night and I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Juneau. We ordered pretty much all of their drinks on the menu and they were all great! Summer splash, penicillin, The Last Word were some of

    Everyone sees another Crab Shack as soon as they get off the ship. We saw there was an hour wait…read more(line outside in the drizzle). We looked around and decided onTwisted Fish Company, what a find. We got a table for eight after a brief wait. Our lovely waitress explained the menu items. Four couples each ordered 1 pound red King Crab. Sweet delicious and properly prepared We also had clam chowder which was very good. We also had a side caesar salad which was excellent. We added another couple in the middle of dinner and the staff took it in-stride and delivered those dishes quickly without complaint. Other diners we talked to raved about the halibut. The prices appeared reasonable for the quality of the food and the service from Bella. We would return again when in port but if you are looking for high quality food in a casual style eatery I recommend the Twisted Fish Company

    Since our cruise ship was not leaving until late, I wanted to have dinner in town before boarding…read more Just like in Ketchikan, we are just a stone throw away from the ships, but I wanted to eat and support local. I was lucky enough to have Alaskan king crab legs last year when I traveled Alaska by land so that was not on my must eat this year. King salmon that I fell in love with last year was though, so when I saw Twisted Fish had it and some of their fishes were accompanied by local rhubarb and blueberry chutney, I was sold as I am all about eating local. Unfortunately, grilling the king salmon dried it out so it did not have that beautiful buttery texture that makes King salmon special. Sadly I felt the king salmon I roasted at home was closer to what I had in Anchorage last year than this one. Even though the twisted fish plate only had Taku Salmon, I found the halibut in that one was much better and wish I went with a full order of halibut instead, especially since that came with the local rhubarb and blueberry chutney.

    Great place to go after a show across the street at Perseverence Theatre. The place is full of…read morefriendly locals and the bar staff is helpful. If you're hungy do try Nano's Grill from the hut outback. The menu items are a bit different than your lower 48 fair, but still good. My first time I ordered a club sandwich. When it arrived, it was everything of a soft kaiser roll with all the fixins splayed out like a hotdog. Different looking, but good. My next trip I ordered the daily special. Sliders. These tasty bites reminded me of homemade hamburger patties with their uneven edges cracking under each bit. Again. Good stuff. On my last visit, I tried the famous loaded tater tots. Now let me warn you, share with someone or you will be full for hours. The tots were a plate full of deep fried goodness covered in chili and all everything you would find on nachos. So good, but again, sharing is caring. They had also had a bloody mary morning drink, but I got there after 3 and the bartender still made me one. And it's good to be there when the fishermen come back, just be prepared to get a taxi home because someone is always ringing the bell!

    Despite what this listing may say, this is in DOUGLAS, not in Juneau…read more What is Douglas? It's a town across the water from Juneau. It's what I imagine Juneau was like before the cruise ships came. This is a solid neighborhood watering hole. Great vibe and energy in this place. The bartender was friendly and on top of it. Lots of crowds of people that you could tell were all good friends. Get out of your boat or hotel and take a long walk across the bridge, you'll be glad you did. There's also some pretty good pizza just a couple blocks away.
