4 Best Beer Bars in Juneau

“Best drinks in town period. 🍸✨“

“We spent 3 days in Juneau last week and we liked this place so much we were there every day. Both bartenders -- Jessa and Steven -- were fantastic, attentive, great conversationalists. The drinks were all local-based and the cocktails were high quality. We didn't experience the food at the next-door food truck but saw others wolf it down -- it looked very good. Great chill vibe, awesome view and a little bit out of the cruise boat zone, so busy but not super-crowded. Mix of locals and visitors. Tell the locals you speak to that you're not on a cruise -- their attitude will be much friendlier. Highly recommend.“

“During a recent cycling tour, Forbidden Peak Brewery was our final stop for a beer flight and appetizer, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the day.
While we were waiting for our food and drinks, a woman stopped by to check on us and see if we needed anything. After chatting for a bit, we learned she was actually one of the co-owners. When we asked about the brewery, she happily shared its origin story and gave us a deeper appreciation for the business.
It was awesome to learn that all of their beers, seltzers, and sodas are made in-house. The citrus soda and root beer were both fantastic, and the lettuce wraps were delicious.
What really made the visit stand out was the hospitality. The co-owner (I believe her name was Sarah) took the time to connect with us and share her passion for the brewery, which made the experience feel incredibly welcoming and personal. Great drinks, great food, and even better people. I can't wait to visit again.“

“Overall a good experience in Juneau. Food was very tasty. Mac and cheese with burnt ends needs to be tried by all!!! Served boiling hot: be careful, but best Mac i have had in quite a while. Brisket was also very good and tender. And fries with cheese a classic.“
