The bartender was very nice, and after a couple of beers I asked for some water (which was served in a clear plastic pint cup) and stepped outside to look at the night sky… however, within a few seconds an older male employee came up and started hassling me, telling me it was illegal for me to leave a bar in Alaska with any kind of drink… I explained to him that it was just water that the bartender had just served me, but he said it was illegal even if it was non-alcoholic. That sounded very suspect, but I went back inside because I didn’t want any trouble. I asked the bartender if it was true that it was illegal to take water outside of the bar, and she said that it was not. I understand that maybe the older gentleman may have thought I had something other than water in my cup, but I have a feeling I wouldn’t have been hassled if I was a local and not an out-of-towner. This made me feel very unwelcome, so I would not recommend visiting in the off-season if you’re not a local, and especially if you’re a person of color (like me). I closed out my tab and left. It’s a shame because I wanted to book a room at the inn, but I decided to take my business elsewhere!

Historic 1921 hotel and bar. Someone did some really nice portraits in the downstairs area, those alone are worth a look if you happen to be in Talkeetna

Historic building with renewed rooms. There is a bar with live music downstair. It is not a problem for me, but, keep in mind. Check in and check out very easy. I recommend and gonna go back!

this place is a local haunt for generations. if you’re coming in, you should come in to chat and people watch. you can also quietly sit at the bar but it’s a small place so you will certainly be able to interact with people. locals are mostly coming through to see each other and catch up quick. karaoke during the week sometimes (i think monday!) the drinks are very cheap. highly recommend

My mother and I only had one night through Talkeetna and was lucky enough to find this historical gem. The atmosphere was superb and told a story of the past hundred years this Inn has been standing. And to top it off, we were so pleasantly impressed with how clean and organized the space was. We hope to be back to spend more time.

Great value and place to stay right in the heart of Talkeetna, and EXACTLY as advertised. Really annoyed at some of the other reviewers who complained about the noise and shared bathrooms. It is well-communicated that the rooms are directly above a bar, which they are. If you are staying on a night there is a live band, you will absolutely hear them. Check the music schedule online if this may be an issue for you. If you are concerned about the safety of shared bathrooms (whatever that means), don't stay here. Overall, you are renting a small room in a tremendous location for a very low price relative to the area. If you are OK with the quirks, you will love it, if you are not, just stay somewhere else instead.

Smelled so rancid we had to walk out immediately. Prepare your nostrils to be assaulted.

We were originally supposed to be in accommodation, but by mistake it was full, the manager provided alternative accommodation 400 meters away
