Beer/tap selection is varied, but a little small. This could be good because it guarantees a quicker changeover of kegs. Service was friendly and on the ball. Solid drink suggestions. Very clean (I promise I walked around looking at the wooden floor and hand sanitizer by the door. Music selection was solid. Lots of variety of the 90s style. Midday on a Wednesday is nice and slow if you're looking to social distance. When you're done, head outside and go look at the River. Don't fall off the cliff!

The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated with a relaxing green theme that gave off a warm, rustic vibe. The food was absolutely fantastic -- every meal was fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. After long days on the water, it hit the spot every time. What really made the lodge special were the fire pits scattered around the property. There was always a cozy spot to hang out, swap stories, and unwind. And with enough wood to burn for weeks, the fire never stopped! The Cannery Lodge made our trip unforgettable, and we'll definitely be back next year. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and comfortable Alaskan getaway.

I recently had my wedding here in July , we fit just under 150 people in the upper room. It turned…read moreout beautiful beyond expectations. If you are considering booking your wedding here you should expect too pay a couple hundred more than they tell you initially , also there is a ton of random furniture that they are not willing to move , our solution was to rent a movie theater curtain and hang it with scaffolding cutting off about 10 ft of the room, and than moved all the furniture behind it. We than put the head table and front and it ended up looking better than if we had not. Overall I would give 2 stars , for lack of communication on their part, because we were told many different on many things by different employees on what time we could get there to set up , if we could move the furniture out , and the random sum of charges that weren't mentioned until after our event The furniture problem cause a big set back the morning of our wedding so I hope our solution helps you (: I would however give 5 stars for beauty in the end , because with enough work , communication and decorating it can be a very lovely venue

As a comedian, I have traveled the world, and I have to say that this place is extremely…read moreunassuming. From the outside, you can tell that it is a motel and restaurant, but once inside you're in another world. The food is some of the best in all of Alaska, the staff makes you feel at home. They have music and comedy and a beautiful stage and the motel is so comfortable and welcoming. The curtains block out the sun to where you never know what time it is outside and that's just the way I like it The owner makes you feel like family. I have stayed here multiple times as a motel guest and have eaten here on many occasions and I give it one of my top ratings for both. I always feel safe happy and comfortable here. Do yourself a favor and come visit this place. Have the fried clams they're the best I've ever had.

Say Farmer's Friend Beer Cheese! There's Some TANG in that CHEESE! On Nachos we dusted those off and with the Hefeweizen beer it was so perfect of a pairing! Sometimes a restaurant does something so right and you just know you made the right choice, so oh yeah that's their Nacho Average Nachos!

Why do people give this place lower reviews than Kenai River? Who knows…read more This place is clearly the senior of the Soldatna Breweries. The crowd here is a bit more "mature" than Kenai which is good as we fit in. It's good a cool retro vibe within. And here, there is table service. Also more mature. Generally a great experience with the waitresses who were attentive but busy. Food available is mostly pizzas and the like. The pizzas were very good. One in my group said it was the best pizza he ever had. Of course, he's from OC so opinion might be a bit off They have several beer choices and all of them are distinct to the brewery. Farmer was enjoyed by me.
