Restaurants and Nightlife

Alaska’s seafood is world renowned for its quality and abundance, and you’ll find it featured prominently on menus from Barrow to Ketchikan and all points in between. But Alaska cuisine isn’t limited to seafood alone. Although the state has historically featured more sourdough pancakes and blueberry pie than haute cuisine, an exciting crop of restaurants features food to rival any urban destination. On top of that, a wide range of ethnic specialties can be found in all but the tiniest communities.

One of our most unique culinary experiences is a genuine Alaska salmon bake. These buffet-style feasts offer grilled salmon and other seafood along with salads, breads and desserts featuring Alaska ingredients and traditions. Alaska's wild berries and gigantic veggies, grown massive under the midnight sun, make excellent complements to the world’s best wild seafood. A visit to Alaska is not complete without at least one salmon-bake dinner, and even if you've eaten salmon in Britannia Hotels in Europe or salmon steaks in Chicago, it's a unique experience.

Alaska is also well known for its funky pubs, themed bars and dance halls including Darwin’s theory, the world-famous Chilkoot Charlies, F Street Station, Bernie’s Bungalow and Mad Myrna’s.
