“This is a great dive bar. It's dark, it's dingy, and is a very cool local hang out. The drinks are tasty. They have a music jukebox that you can select songs from. All the locals are very cool. There was one grumpy old bear, but he was funny, and he just needed a drink to warm up.“

“Perfect stop for us as we transitioned from traveling to the start of our stay in Fairbanks.I had a French dip sandwich with a really good green salad. I regretted not ordering a bigger salad and just skipping the heavy sandwich. My husband had a burger and very average fries (frozen, not fresh potatoes). The burger was good and hefty.The service was fine--it wasn't busy, and our food came out quickly.The atmosphere was average bar interior design--nothing stood out as exceptional or as glaring. I doubt we will return when in the area but our lunch was pleasant.“

The Marlin Bar • $$
3412 College Rd Suite 2, Fairbanks

“This is the best place in Fairbanks to meet new people, make friends, and find some of the greatest, most chill people that won't judge you or discriminate against you just for who you are. I credit this place for getting me out of my deeply introverted shell and allowing me to finally find a group of people that took me in and considered me someone that had worthwhile opinions, thoughts, and creative drives.Yea, and it's also a pretty good bar. The back room was always the greatest place to be. Best place to do the safe sex demonstrations and the counseling because of those comfy couches. Not sure how it's been remodeled, but I imagine it's been kept close to the original. Is the bottle of whisky still stuck in the wall? XDThis is a place where you can just breath and not be afraid to find a stranger and talk about your problems and end the night with a good friend. :)“

We have very high standards for Mexican food, but saw it had a 4.1 overall rating.Let us just say this place is great. The food tastes very fresh, servings are large, and service was amazing. Deon was busy but was always attentive and truly cared about customers. The restaurant is lucky to have him.Definitely worth a visit here if you are thinking about it.“

“Salty is one of the most well-known dinner spots in Fairbanks, Alaska, and after trying their breakfast, it's easy to see why!The chicken waffles were a highlight – fluffy waffles perfectly paired with crispy chicken strips. A delightful combination! And of course there are many more dishes which are recommended on the menu you can try on.The coffee served here is exceptional – honestly, some of the best we've had during our time dining out in Alaska. A real treat for coffee lovers!In terms of service, it wasn't too bad. It may just be reflective of the local culture, maybe a little smile and a little more warm and welcoming will be awesome, especially on morning. But overall, it contributed to a pleasant breakfast experience.If you're in Fairbanks and craving a delicious breakfast, Salty is definitely worth a visit! ?☕“
