Not only the oldest bar in town but also has a deck looking out over waterfront. If you're hungry they have a great burger place across the street that delivers right to you. Plus they have cool merchandise. Best place to get a Bloody Mary! 👍👍

Great bar (after the cruise ships leave)! Sit outside on the water. Burger Queen across the street will bring excellent food over delivered to you.

Great local dive! Ordered food from the Dairy Queen across the street, enjoyed a beer, then picked up food although they will deliver to the bar.

No food. Cute dive bar in every sense of the word. I'd stop by again and perfect location.

It may not be a gay bar, but it's every bit as welcoming as one. Ciarra made us feel so comfortable we had to stay for a couple drinks!
Toilet was adequate for the prp!

If you’re in Ketchikan, a visit to the Arctic Bar is an absolute must! The atmosphere is fantastic – laid-back, welcoming, and full of local charm. They have a great selection of beers and IPAs, perfect for anyone who enjoys quality brews. It’s the kind of place where you can truly sit back, relax, and enjoy your drink.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, which really adds to the experience. Whether you’re just passing through or spending time in town, the Arctic Bar is a great place to unwind and soak in the local vibe.

Highly recommended!

Did not enjoy the experience at all. And the hype about them having the best Bloody Mary's is a JOKE

Pretty rough place. Needs maintenance pretty bad. I know we stopped in due to the humorous Happy Bears logo.
Excellent location. It was one of the very first places we came across after stepping off our cruise ship.
The place was pretty empty the whole time we were there, but the bartender was trying to run the bar and souvenir area at the same time. She actually yelled for help a few times before the others standing at the office door actually walked over to attend folks trying to buy souvenirs.
There is NO table service. Bar walkup only!
