Technical notes: Food came in a timely manner, attentive staff, and the venue offered a relaxing atmosphere where the music wasn't too loud but just loud enough for general conversation. Utilities were clean and well kept.“

“I’m biased. Yessir. But can say the Carousel has the BEST karaoke in Alaska. The best digital sound system, friendliest bartenders and karaoke host. I promise! Live music on the weekends. This is a very different Carousel than it was just a few years ago.“

“On our first night in Anchorage we stumbled across this nice little bar. It was Sunday night and they had live music. The bar staff (Tierra) was amazing, the place was not overly crowded but still busy at times and she worked her butt off to keep everyone served quickly. She even suggested a drink to try when I was not sure what I wanted, I drank it for the remainder of the night as it was so good. Highly recommend this little bar if you are looking for a quiet meal and enjoyable time away from the other crouded bars.“

“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.“

“It's primarily a college bar with live music on Monday and every other Thursday. They have a good bar food menu and prices are not bad.“

“Wonderful experience- Food, wine and atmosphere was on point“

“The fried chicken sandwich is good (but it tasted like fish). I really liked the Boba fizzy soda. The mac and cheese tasted like Annie's boxed mac and cheese. Don't bother paying for it. You can make it at home. The caramel apple bread pudding is heavenly!! Portion sizes are good! I had leftovers.“

“I recently visited Ginger in downtown Anchorage, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The highlight of my evening was definitely the bar, thanks to the incredibly hospitable bartender, James. It's rare to find a place that crafts a perfect Dirty Martini, but James absolutely knocked it out of the park. The blue cheese olives were fresh and flavorful, and the drink was balanced and expertly made. The entire staff was attentive and welcoming, making the visit truly memorable. If you're in Anchorage and appreciate top-notch cocktails and great service, you can't miss Ginger. Highly recommend!“

“Fun little place that is squared away on King Street in industrial park. But don't let the outdoor decor fool ya, the tasting room is fun little place. With a nice mix of drinks to choose from, brain games, cornhole and jenga to play while enjoying the drinks.

Server Lolita was charming, funny and engaging.“

“Great customer service and the cocktails will blow your socks off. The distillery itself is visible from the sitting area and is very interesting to watch. I also did a flight of their whiskey, which the tasting sheet was accurate and it was pleasant to sip and makes a great sour. The gin is very floral and has a great flavor. The cinnamon moonshine is dangerously smooth and tastes like fall in a glass. I would have no reservations just sipping it and enjoying it on a cool day. Overall, I’m very impressed and glad I came to this distillery. Prices were also reasonable.“

“Good evening I would like to thank the chef for the delicious Steak a la Mexicana and my husband liked the taco salad too thank you“
