Was told to avoid the Mecca bar at all costs. This is a local spot that some locals love. Walked in and saw locals enjoying drinks with a mellow atmosphere.

Went to this (cash only) local bar across from my hotel. It's full of old drunks at any time of day, and can get rowdy in the evening. The bartender was polite but inattentive to those not a local regular. I'm sure the locals love it, but it's not a tourist bar. Look elsewhere for your vacation buzz needs!
Fine. I'll do it myself.
Always a good time

It truly is the heart of the city in every sense. A very friendly barmaid and Nicky, who kindly let us use her Wi-Fi and shared excellent tourist tips. You’ll find a diverse mix of customers coming here to enjoy a warm moment, with both the barmaid and Nicky always welcoming, and attentive also to some customers in need.

Be brave, have a drink at the Mecca bar and say you really drank in real Alaska

Definitely a local favorite. Sit down, don't start trouble. Stay out of conversation between cousins. Be nice. Ring the bell. You'll make friends immediately. Bartenders are friendly and helpful if you're a tourist. They operate on a case by case and day by day relationship with regulars. Interesting people. The guy playing drums on the bar is Wes. He might talk your ear off but he knows a lot about the songs on the jukebox. Download the TouchTunes app and you can sit there and be the DJ without having to stand at the jukebox.

Wow. Classic dive bar. Iconic in place of quality. Worth a visit. Leave a big tip if you can. Watch your back. Have fun.
Lively clientele kept in order by very efficient, pleasant bartender Devon. Everybody so friendly, maybe that’s because I was visiting from the UK find out yourself…. Johnny H. Manchester uk

I visited Fairbanks around a month ago. This was one of the spots locals recommended I try. It was definitely a dive bar, but super cool bartender, and friendly patrons who frequent it. I had a blast, met cool people and the prices are not too hard on the pocket. I'll be back in Fairbanks, and will visit this bar again.

We were skeptical about entering this place, but we are so glad we did. Devin was a delight. Definitely hold on to him. There are a few Employees that love their job as much as he does. He is definitely an asset to your business
