"Humpy's" is a local's favorite and tourist's delight. When I came to Alaska 12 years ago, it was THE place to go, to see, and to be seen. It was the new place on the block back then. A lot has changed in Anchorage in the past 12 years, but Humpy's is still jumpin'. In 2006, it was hip enough to win the "best bar" pick by the Anchorage Press (a local ...

The Snow Goose is a brewery (Sleeping Lady Brewing Company), a pub, a restaurant, a theatre, and a local meeting space all in one. It is located on the corner of 3rd and G streets, within easy walking distance to the downtown hotels and shops. Locally owned, the Snow Goose knows what "Anchorage Flavor" is all about. Beautiful Alaskan quilts hang on the walls. The open deck is the place ...

Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé! The 3rd Thursday in November is this week. The first taste of this seasons' wine crop starts as Wednesday night draws to a close. At 12:00 AM sharp, the barrels are scheduled to arrive in at Jens doors. If you want to catch the whole crazy event of the "tapping party," make sure you are there by 11:59 PM (Wednesday night). There is no entry ...

So, right on 36th and Arctic, tucked between Scan Home and some office furniture place is this charming little restaurant and wine ...

Yep, it's a gift store. But it's a really FUN gift store. Located just East of the intersection of the Old Seward Highway and International Airport Road, Alaska Wilberry Products boasts the tallest chocolate waterfall in the world. They have windows looking into their candy kitchens and free chocolate samples. For a small fee you can see the caribou out back or go on a behind the scenes kitchen tour ...

The Glacier Brewhouse, located right in the center of downtown, is a great place to stop for a microbrew (beer) or a meal. The wooden beams and stone fireplace give it a (big) cabin feel. Be prepared to join the crowd as it is always hopping. Well known for their selection of handcrafted brews, they are also a crowd pleaser when it comes to their menu. The rotisserie cranks ...

The Marx Brothers Cafe on 3rd Avenue is a exquisite dining experience from start to finish. Set in a quaint little house built in 1915, the tables are spread out in different rooms on the first floor of the home. You have to plan in advance if you want to dine here, as there are only 14 tables and they fill up fast. The staff is personal and attentive. They ...
