Let's talk about the Buckaroo, because this place is a classic Spenard dive bar and honestly one of…read moreAnchorage's old-school gems. We really love this spot. It's a great place to grab a cocktail whether it's 8 PM, midnight, or 2 AM--it just works at any hour. They've got pool tables and a cozy little section with a fireplace, which is such a nice touch for a dive bar and makes it feel way more inviting than you'd expect. The bartenders are always nice, and the drinks are solid every time. What surprises me, though, is that the place is usually pretty dead whenever I'm there--which I genuinely don't understand because the drinks are good and the ambience is actually really nice. All that said, it's still one of the better dive bars in Anchorage and definitely worth stopping into, especially if you're in the Spenard area and want something low-key but reliable.

Hands down one of the best local bars in downtown Anchorage…read more I never feel unsafe here even with the Gaslight down the way (and yes, we all know that place has its issues). The Pio just gives off the best bar energy downtown. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and always take such good care of you, which honestly makes all the difference. They bring in DJs throughout the week with different sets, and if you're there before the DJ starts, they've got a TouchTunes jukebox so you can play your own music. Inside, there's plenty to do: arcade-style games, pool tables, and air hockey, perfect if you're bouncing around downtown and want to actually hang out somewhere. They've done a few facelifts inside over the years, and it's only gotten better. This is easily one of our all-time favorite spots when we're downtown. And the best part? Sometimes on the weekends, if you're lucky, you step outside and there's a little hot dog stand set up right near the front door. Truly elite downtown behavior and one of my favorite things about being down there.

Definitely the best downtown bar. Cheap drinks and good bar tenders. Nice pool tables too. Love…read morethe food truck in the back ally.

I take issue with any business that isn't upfront with pricing. The staff at the desk are very nice. They don't sell food or drinks, so i had food delivered. They don't even offer any plates or napkins, so you definitely need to make sure you don't forget anything. They were helpful and made sure I was notified when my order arrived. The karaoke rooms are nice, each one is a little different. They have disco lights and tvs at either end. My biggest issue is the selection of music is EXTREMELY limited for English speakers. The songbook is 90% KPOP, and since you are your own DJ, you waste a lot of time navigating the Songbox and book which primary language is Korean. I love KPop, but I definitely can't sing or read it. (I WISH!) We had fun though. I'm surprised more people don't know about this place, but I imagine that word of mouth in our very close knit Korean community is their primary customer base. I recommend this place based on how nice they were and that they let you bring whatever food or drink you like. This is an ideal place for a small Bachelorette party or other such event where you want total control.

I booked a small room for my nieces' 20th birthday party and we had a BLAST! They have three different size rooms available, but all come with tables and seating and the ambiance is so fun! Disco lights, loud speaker system and our small room had two tvs, one on each wall. As it is a space rental, you are booking the space, the ambiance, and of course the electronic system, but they allowed us to decorate and order food and drinks to be delivered and consumed within the room. The electronic system is Korean, which can be daunting at first, but I was told it was superior to English-based systems and once we got the general directions down (which also had guides that explained the instructions) it was no problem to select and search for songs. There was also a fun scoring feature which our singers loved! Also if you had an obscure song that might not be available, you could also connect via Bluetooth for audio! Owners were incredibly accommodating and super informative when calling to book a reservation. I would recommend letting them know what you are celebrating and group size so they could recommend the room size. They also were very flexible when we asked to extend our time, and understanding of a last minute cancellation due to an illness for a second booking I made. I would HIGHLY recommend this location for all types of groups. I will definitely be a returning customer and look to book them for all kinds of groups and celebrations!
