“Seward’s Folly feels purpose-built for sports fans and families/groups. The space is very clean, large, and open, with two separate bar areas that help spread out the energy. I stopped in to catch an NFL playoff game, and this place absolutely delivers on the viewing experience. There are TVs everywhere, so no matter where you sit, you’ll either have one directly in front of you or at least a great line of sight. Even better, they actually play the sound of the game, which feels increasingly rare and is a huge plus. I can’t speak to how that works when multiple games are on, but for a single big matchup, it’s ideal.

The menus are massive.....too massive. It’s great if you’re with a group of picky eaters, because there’s something for everyone, but the trade-off is that nothing really stands out as especially memorable or distinctive. It leans more crowd-pleasing than crave-worthy. My French dip, for example, was mostly bread with very little meat, which was a bit of a letdown. On the brighter side, the appetizers came out in generous portions, and their unbreaded fried wings were a nice surprise, especially in a sea of overly battered versions elsewhere.

They ALSO have pizza and cheese stick options but their pizza oven was down on the day of our visit. I’ve also heard good things about their country fried steak on the brunch menu, which we didn’t try this time but is officially on the list for a future visit.

They’ve got a full bar, a solid tap selection, and a parking lot, though parking can get tight when the place is packed. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive without hovering, which is exactly what you want when you’re focused on the game.

Bottom line: Seward’s Folly is a comfortable, reliable spot to watch sports, grab a drink, and keep a group happy. Don’t expect culinary fireworks, but if your goal is a relaxed game-day hang with good sightlines and good vibes, it checks the boxes.“

“Go see Stormie she is the Best Bartendar Downtown on 4th Avenue“

“Whenever I'm in Anchorage, if I have time, I drop in. Usually, I never have an issue getting a table for a few guys and hitting the pool table and jukebox. Good assortment of beer and well priced. Also sells commemorative pint glasses for the Iditarod for cheap.“

“My family always visit this bar. My husband took me here 2 weeks ago as he became a regular at the bar and I enjoy the atmosphere, and groups of people are friendly. I meet Jen through my husband and she is awesome. Sweet lady running the bar, I don't drink alcohol I order Coke , I enjoy everyone's company and got to meet the old folks. No trouble maker and always a good times here, I get to enjoy the night without looking over your shoulder for trouble. Pool table on site great to enjoy and learning from the old folks. If you want a quiet night out and enjoy a good company and play pool this bar is the 1.“

“A great restaurant when in Anchorage! I know everyone raves about Moose's Tooth but, I would go to Hearth over the crowded and busy atmosphere of Moose's Tooth. Selection was great, service was super friendly and no wait time!“

“★★★★★ Favorite Local Bar in Anchorage – Cabin Tavern
I’ve been coming here for 11 years, and it’s still my favorite bar in Anchorage. The staff is always welcoming, the drinks are strong, and the prices are good. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere where you can actually enjoy yourself.
There are plenty of TVs, and you can watch pretty much any game that’s on, which makes it a great spot for sports. Overall, it’s a comfortable, laid-back tavern with great service and a solid local vibe.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dependable Anchorage bar.“

“The most generous, fun, witty, lady bar tender I think from California and been at XYZ for around 20 years. She even stayed a little later to accommodate 3 of us still wanting last minute drinks and since I missed my flight I was stuck until 4am at the Aloft with no reservation and she made me an extra special drink of her own design... I'll always remember the best service and I'm actually NOT a drinker but the dried fruit addiction made it like a meal!! I absolutely loved it and will try drinking more with dried fruits!!“

“excellent food, excellent service. excellent atmosphere! wish we lived here, we would be regulars!“

“Great food great service it is a must even when you have to wait for a table“
