Ernie's Old Time Saloon is a classic local bar with great vibes!
We stopped in while in Sitka, and it was the perfect spot to soak up some local charm. Of course, we had to try a Duck Fart—it’s a must while visiting! The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, making it a fun place to relax and enjoy a drink.
If you’re looking for a no-frills, authentic bar experience in Sitka, Ernie’s is definitely worth a stop!

So glad we stumbled into and out of Ernie's while in Sitka for our cruise. It's a real locals kind of place where you can mingle, talk to locals, and knock back some beers and shots. They have a cigarette machine, if you are so inclined.

This is one of the few places where you can go dancing in Sitka, the bar is nice and the atmosphere is fun, however the few times I have decided to spend some time here I have seen how the owner of the bar makes comments that incite hatred and even racist comments, which I find very dangerous since he uses his microphone to do so and that only strains the atmosphere of the bar, every time I have come to this bar I have had to leave my beer half full and leave.

I liked this place more than I’d like to admit and spent more time here than I thought. There is nothing gimmicky about this bar and it’s a definite local hangout. We had a few good conversations here and would’ve had more if our port time during our cruise had been longer. I loved the duck fart and we loved this old bar.
Pro tip: CASH ONLY

Great bar!!! Super friendly! Awesome vibe!! Cash only but they have an ATM machine. The bartender was from Texas and was super cool! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through.

We stopped in from our cruise port time to get dry and heard someone from our cruise say "This is Anywhere USA." They couldn't have been more wrong. This place has great charm, service, clean restrooms, tons of merch and local advice from the bartenders. We stayed for about 45 minutes to dry off and enjoyed our time. If you need a break from the walk and rain stop by Ernie's.
Great place to stop, grab some beers and hang out! This was our go to after fishing. Service is greats, drinks are strong, and music is usually good! Nice to talk to a few locals!
