“★★★★★ 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.“

“Full service bar. Super friendly bartender. Super good prices. Had a variety beers but only one cider. Not fancy. Locals and tourists. No food options but you can have food delivered. Almost next door is a shop that has snacks. Will go again“

“The food here is amazing. I highly recommend the pineapple chicken, but honestly it's hard to find a bad dish on the menu. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste.

My only criticism is the 5% surcharge for credit card payments, which feels exceptionally steep. I understand businesses pay processing fees and sometimes pass along part of that cost, but 5% seems higher than what's typically charged. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend bringing cash to avoid the surcharge.

Other than that, I have nothing but good things to say. The food is absolutely worth it, and I'll definitely be back.“
