Chilkoot Charlie's - Anchorage

Review from a visiting tourist! This jaunt exceeded our wildest expectations! We were a little timid looking at the website and pulling in the park lot but PLEASE if you are visiting or trying for the first time just go in. The bartenders are fantastic and make you feel comfortable and the place is just incredible to look around, even if you aren’t the “bar type”. They have memorabilia, arcade games, and table games so there’s plenty to do besides the events. Cannot recommend enough if you are visiting Alaska it’s just such an experience and treat to walk through. Bonus, we went on an open mic Monday and was so entertained and enjoyed all the lovely acts. Don’t hesitate, just go and enjoy!

This review is covering the last years I’ve lived in Alaska. First bar I went to when I moved to town and has since blessed me with many memories and some wonderful friends. I love the staff and the owners. This is definitely a place that ought to be on your bucket list of local places to check out at least once. I haven’t been since before covid and have since calmed down some with the journey of motherhood… but I definitely remember the days of live music and friends with a smile.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the best bar in Anchorage. Staff is always friendly, drinks are served quick, and management does their best to provide on-site entertainment as often as possible, including but not limited to: live bands, karaoke nights, a live D.J. who takes requests, open mic comedy night, etc Full-time entertainment options inlcude billiard (pool) tables and plenty of arcade pinball machines, as well as multiple ATM's, change machines, and a fully-stocked cigarette vending machine for your convenience. During the summer months they also provide outdoor Giant-Jenga cornhole For eating options, there is a full-size kitchen that serves food until closing time. Just a few items I consistently order enjoy is their pizza-by-the-slice, as well as the parmesean french fries. Aside from their full-time menu, every Wednesday is steak night and the chef makes an absolutely amazing steak dinner So whether it's your first time visiting or you're a seasoned regular, there's always plenty to do plenty of fun to be had, no matter the day of the week.

This review will not be recent... My review goes back years. I lived in Anchorage from I spent many a nights at Charlie's. Some of the Best Times, I will never forget

I love this place and have fond memories. If you go to Alaska or live there, it's an institution That being said, the bouncers kick people out pretty quickly (usually for good reason, but not always?
