Music was great but service was not good at all. Took a seat at the bar for my friend’s 21st birthday and was trying to help her decide what to drink. The bartender Jen was rude and became impatient and then decided to purposefully ignore us for the remainder of our time when trying to order. We decided to just leave and definitely won’t come back.

No food. This is a bar only. We went twice during our stay and were welcomed by the locals. A dive bar at its best!

Seemed like a decent place. Just had one drink. Prices were higher than some places though.

What a great local bar. Cocktails were great, the puppy’s saying hi to everyone was awesome especially Gamit! Met the owner and he showed us a few of the neat features of the bar.

Top dive bar in downtown Fairbanks. Google brought me here as i was in the mood for a night cap. The basement level bar has pool tables & darts-cash only! The upstairs bar is chill & you may pay by card. Logan is the best local bartender i've met in FBX. He is personable & engaging with patrons. He made a fantastic Blood Orange Old Fashioned, which are rare to come by at bars. Be frank with your taste profile & they can customize to make it work. Cozy & laid back atmosphere. The interiors & decor give an old timey & industrial vibe. As a visitor from out of state, i felt instantly welcomed! They play great music: mostly classic rock & some country. 💎🍸🫶

Every time I venture into the mine i leave happy. It's a great little bar that really double downs on its mine theme and makes good use of the space. Offers foosball, pool, and darts. Also has a large outdoor area and upstairs bar with plenty of beer and cocktails. The bar staff upstairs Zoe is super friendly.
Logan was a great bartender, gave great conversations, makes incredible old fashions and thats saying something, I would highly recommend, if you come in ask for logan, absolutely some of the best bartending i’ve ever had!

Zoe… the mixologist, is so accommodating to make your cocktail the way you prefer, it’s amazing. Her old fashioned cocktail is the bomb!

Legendary. The guy working the bar upstairs was hilarious, unfortunately I don’t recall his name. 10/10 bar, definitely the best in Fairbanks

If you're looking for the place that perfectly encapsulates the rugged charm of Fairbanks, Midnite Mine is the spot you're looking for. Located downtown, this iconic dive bar has been a local institution for over 50 years, and its brewery offshoot—founded in 2017—continues the tradition of serving up satisfying experiences.
Unfortunately for us, we were only able to try the Midnite Mine Golden Ale as the brewery was in the process of migration to their new stand alone home. The beer itself was crisp and approachable, unpretentious and well crafted. It’s the kind of beer that makes you feel right at home in the mines upstairs bar, or the legendary dive bar downstairs. Seriously though, don't forget to head down into the basement bar that has this eccentric, unmatched atmosphere that is equal parts quirky and historic.
