12 Best Bars in Ketchikan

“Kelly and Tim were amazing! they kept the drinks and conversation flowing. while you are there grab you a there from burger queen next door. it was amazing!!“

“There could be no better location for a dive bar with an attached liquor store. It is smack dab in the middle of the crew ship docks. People coming off the ships gravitate right to it and one never knows what kind of crowd is going to be in there at any time. One of the evenings I thought the place was full of guys, but it was just a group of gals from a lesbian cruise on Holland American. The staff is wonderful, and they do their best to keep people happy. Quite often, one of the bartenders or servers will bring in a crockpot full of something delicious and they put that on the table. Everyone gets a bowl and there’s no charge for it. The walls are covered in Alaska history. I’ve never seen bigger fish,worse shipwrecks, grizzlier lumberjacks or anything that compares to the pictures on the walls there. The prices are very reasonable for Ketchikan. There is a lot of local color in there too as it is a watering hole for a lot of the locals. They have the answer all their questions and I guarantee that they are very willing to share their knowledge with you. So, when you go there, don’t forget to stop at the Sourdough.

Vegetarian options: Are you kidding ? Unless you were thinking about the peanuts and potato chips behind the bar, don’t think about this.

Parking: If you have a 3000 passenger ship, there is adequate parking. Other than that, you don’t have a chance.

Kid-friendliness: I don’t think it’s a place to bring your kids. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just a place for adults.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on one level and they will be more than accommodating for anyone that needs any kind of help. That’s the kind of people they are.“

“Delighted to find this place with a great selection of Alaskan ciders, not just beers. I did a quick flight for tasting and bought some cans to go. Also Casey pointed me to the liquor store attached to the dive bar down the block and they carried the Port Chilkoot distillery canned cocktails I was searching for.“

“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.“

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

“Class vibes great music friendly atmosphere“

“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“

“if you really want to know what it is to live on this island this is the bar you want to go to it's a great place to meet the locals it's out of town so you get a lot of traffic from the cruise ships“

“This place is delicious! The onion rings are hand breaded and amazing. The service is excellent. Staff are so nice. Prices are reasonable. Fun atmosphere, windows over looking IFA port. We ate the Ruben. Very delicious. Drinks were also made to order. Recommend if you have time before boarding the ferry!“

“Got there on a reservation at 6PM, ordered at 6:40, got my food as soon as possible . The bartender
trained to prepare drinks and make anything, and when I got my food the order was so incredible. The cook is visible behind the counter, I witnessed no less than 0 smoke breaks and I waited 3 entire hours for food that was fit for human consumption because he got my order so perfect.

We waited 0 hours and the water was always refilled for a group of 11.

They also have some policy where you can't combine tables, so our group was split into 3 tables where everyone could talk to each other.

Awesome restaurant. I don't care how fancy the crust is, everyone would have a better time going to Eagles nest.“

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