Bar entertainment in Southeast Alaska

  1. A

    Pioneer Bar

    Known locally as the 'P-Bar,' this is the most interesting place to have a beer in Sitka and one of Alaska's classic bars. The walls are covered with photos of fishing boats, their crews and big fish and a blackboard where occasionally a captain advertises for a crew. Don't ring the big brass ship's bell over the bar unless you're ready to buy a round.

    Triangle Club

    Friendly, and is a nicer place than its nondescript exterior might suggest. One row of barstools looks out onto the street through a big plate-glass window, making this a good place to chill out and people-watch. Or check your email; Seaport Cyber maintains an Internet terminal right on the bar.

    Viking

    In this classic tin-ceiling building are actually three bars. At street level is a sports pub with four giant TV screens and almost 20 beers on tap, while in the back is a cozy martini lounge complete with sofas and easy chairs. Upstairs is a billiards hall with 17 tables.

    Imperial Saloon

    This is where the local softball teams come after the game. Inside are pool tables, darts and a dancefloor with a DJ Thursday to Saturday. Some tables open up to busy Front St, making them prime pickings for people-watchers.

    Sourdough Bar

    On the northwest end of City Dock; the walls are covered with photos of fishing boats - most beached, wrecked, sunk, listing wildly or even aflame. A ship's bell, ring floats and other fishing paraphernalia add to the decor.

    Arctic Bar

    Just past the tunnel on downtown's northwest side, this has a great back deck jutting out over the water. The deck is a sunny spot with great views of the Narrows if a cruise ship isn't tied up in front of it.

    Eagles Club

    For cheap beer without all the fixings, try this odd little oasis on touristy Creek St. On its narrow back deck that juts out over Ketchikan Creek is Halibut Hole for good fish-and-chips.

    A classic Alaskan fisherman's bar where you can mingle with trollers, long-liners and Pelican Seafood workers.

    Fogcutter Bar

    Haines is a hard-drinking town and this is where a lot of them belly up to the bar and spout off.
