9 Best Bars in Ketchikan

“5 stars “Water so good it should be illegal!” Okay, I know this sounds dramatic—but the water at The Asylum is next-level. I don’t know what kind of filtration sorcery they’re using, but it’s crisp, cold, and honestly the best water I’ve ever had in my life. Like, if you told me it was bottled straight from a glacier blessed by monks, I’d believe you. But let’s talk about the real star here: Ciarra. She served the water like it was a fine wine. Perfect pour, perfect temperature, and she somehow made me feel like drinking water was a five-star experience. Friendly, attentive, and had the kind of vibe that makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I came for a drink, stayed for the hydration, and left wondering if I could tip someone just for bringing me H2O. (Spoiler: I did.) If you go to The Asylum and don’t ask for Ciarra’s water service… did you even really go?“

“We've now been here 3 times, and every time feels like we're in our hometown bar. Absolutely love this place! If you need any recommendations, Paula's got you covered.“

“Best local experience. highly reccomend.“

“Excellent bartender!! Elizabeth pours a mean Moscow Mule, and the Polar Bear Piss and the Corona Sunrise are a do not miss! Wonderful atmosphere!!“

“A friend took me here for lunch yesterday. The food was excellent!“

“Cool little bar with great pizza. Stopped in a few times & had the same bartender each time. Last time there 3/12/2022 and it will be my last time. The bartender has no business being in customer service. She was my employee, well, she wouldn't be my employee. Enough said“

“Everyone we talked with mentioned the Eagle's nest for pizza. They were right. The food was good; the view was spectacular. The eagles were around. The pizza was great. They had a great crust. And the oven made it taste so good. We even had the baked Alaska (which isn't actually an Alaskan dish, but was made to honor Alaska joining the US). Either way it was delicious!“

“Literally 30 feet from my hotel room on the 2nd floor so ate here frequently. Overall great atmosphere for a local bar feeling. Staff was mostly great, best was 'Cyra' (sp?). Some of the food was fantastic, including the hummus and chicken wings. But the chowder, and the Greek wrap were bland. Three nights in a row didn't have the rubber, which is a bit weird to advertise something you don't have.“

“We really enjoyed our meal and the service was great!!“
