She was extremely nice and courteous. They did not have any food so I would not be able to judge that. Other than that, I'd probably give it a 7/10.

There was a crowd of folks having a great time (been there awhile ) and waited anxiously for when the mechanical bull was open to them. The vibe was definitely upbeat and the bartender was super friendly. I was lucky enough to find street parking up front but there is more parking in the back.

Hands down one of the best local bars in downtown Anchorage…read more I never feel unsafe here even with the Gaslight down the way (and yes, we all know that place has its issues). The Pio just gives off the best bar energy downtown. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and always take such good care of you, which honestly makes all the difference. They bring in DJs throughout the week with different sets, and if you're there before the DJ starts, they've got a TouchTunes jukebox so you can play your own music. Inside, there's plenty to do: arcade-style games, pool tables, and air hockey, perfect if you're bouncing around downtown and want to actually hang out somewhere. They've done a few facelifts inside over the years, and it's only gotten better. This is easily one of our all-time favorite spots when we're downtown. And the best part? Sometimes on the weekends, if you're lucky, you step outside and there's a little hot dog stand set up right near the front door. Truly elite downtown behavior and one of my favorite things about being down there.

Definitely the best downtown bar. Cheap drinks and good bar tenders. Nice pool tables too. Love…read morethe food truck in the back ally.

But... if you have someone to converse with it's not to bad! The food was alright, nothing to write home to but it works when it's late at night.

Last time I visited I ordered the "spicy" chicken tenders which were just cooked frozen tenders soaked in buffalo sauce which made the soggy. The fries were okay. The cocktails were some of the worst I've ever had. I ordered a double blueberry spritz which just tasted like watered down blueberry lemonade. Not worth the $18 at all. Better to stick to beer here. The server was fine but when I paid the default tip was 30% which is outrageous and the highest default tip I've seen anywhere. I'm all for tipping generously but the service and ambiance are not at all worth that high of a percentage.
