For a place that brags about their homemade dough and brick pizza oven the crust was seriously lacking. It was undercooked and lacked the rise you'd expect in a good crust.

Our waitress was very nice, but service was extremely slow throughout the night. I usually order 2 or 3 drinks when we go out, but it took so long for her to check on us that I only ended up getting one before we were ready to leave. Overall, the experience just wasn't enjoyable enough for what we spent.

We actually visited this brewery twice, so I'm kind of combining both experiences into one review…read more The first time we stopped by on a Friday, and the place was absolutely packed. There were just too many people, so we decided to grab dinner elsewhere and come back another day. The next afternoon, we returned hoping for a less crowded experience, and we're glad we did. The female hosts were very friendly and let us know the rooftop bar had just opened, so of course we had to check it out! The bartenders were all wicked chill, and the views from upstairs were amazing. We loved the unique beer flavors and combinations, and the flight options let us sample quite a variety. Although we didn't try any food, they do have a food menu available. The entire place was very clean, which we appreciated. There is metered street parking both in the front and behind the building, so if you can't find a spot out front, be sure to check the back street. Overall, we highly recommend this brewery if you're visiting the area and would definitely stop by again!

49th State Brewing comes highly recommended, likely due to its great location, set up and feel…read more During the summer months there's also an outdoor area that has live music. The wait for anything in the building was 45 minutes and there were many open tables. I get it, perhaps they were short staffed, were on a shift flip or we were just misquoted. Not too big of a deal, so we just chose to dine outside at the food truck they run as one of their options during the summer. What a mistake and I hope the interior dining is better, but I can't comment on it other than the wait. Service at the truck was VERY SLOW, staff was not attentive and even somewhat rude. Food took FOREVER but it didn't really make sense because my dog came out still frozen in the center (or at least very chilled). I threw it away and spit out the first bite- I ordered a Brawt so I couldn't take the chance of getting sick. The other dogs we got were small and wimpy for the prices being paid. The smash burger- that was great and the was pretzel also great. Local sodas - delicious. Normally I would have complained and let them have the chance to fix the food, because shit happens, but the counter staff was so rude on the get, I assume they'd not care, and who knows... plus no one has 30 minutes to wait for a hot dog. $80 experiment that we ended up having to have second lunch to fix. I would say... come give it a try but don't get excited just because it keeps getting recommended. They're still figuring out how to be more than a brewery.

We started with bao buns, or whisky pork buns, which is one of her birthday dinner requests. I got the Dark Horse ramen and she the Business Lounge ramen. We both liked our ramen, and I think I'd get a ramen with a peanut sesame base next time, but found it a bit rich for the wallet. Still, great service and taste. We got the Chocolate Birthday Cake for dessert and they topped it with a cute candle. Lastly, whiskey spelled without the "e" is Scottish, which is what I learned in Scotland, and with the "e" in Ireland. Also, during Pangaea 4 continents had been merged and when split left 4 types of peat, which is why Scottish whisky is so sought after. I've been schooled about Japanese whisky, but when in Anchorage you can get it one of the whiskys at Ginger. Had my sister try on of the Japanese whiskeys in Scotland as part of her flight. It's a must try. I will come again, and will enjoy it, but just kinda squint at the cost...

If you're in downtown Anchorage, Tent City Taphouse is worth a stop, especially if you're into…read morelocal beer. They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite. Food is decent across the board, nothing overly fancy, but it hits the spot and pairs well with the beer. Think reliable bar food done right. Just make sure you dodge all the homeless when walking around downtown.

We went to TCT on the high recommendation of, and joined by, our daughter and her husband. The…read moreestablishment is across from the Anchorage Museum and is part of the Anchorage Mall. It features a blend of barstool window seats, barstool bar seats, high-top tables, and standard-height tables. We went for a very late lunch, which made the quick food delivery and yet under-attentive service a little perplexing. Having spent last summer in London, the attraction at TCT for us was comparing and contrasting Alaska Halibut Fish & Chips with the British fare. I wanted to like the Tent City offering; I really did not. For the price ($28/ea), we got three modest pieces of fish and the equivalent of two servings of chips. Both the fish and the chips were mushy (undercooked), with a heavy batter finish in contrast with the light and crisp British offering. The accompanying tarter sauce was an odd raspberry-and-blackberry concoction that my family and I called a pickle aftertaste. The presentation, for the price and the atmosphere, was a confusing combination of a metal basket lined with wax paper (like a 1950's drive-through), plastic water and soda glasses (like a college cafeteria), and real silverware. Other reviews have high praise for TCT so, on our next visit to Alaska, it will be good to give them another try. The bones of this establishment are in place for a really special experience, but, today, for me, it was just "ok."

Honestly loved Crush Bistro and I'm very sad that I won't be going back to Anchorage anytime soon…read more I'm going to miss the mac and cheese. It's essentially a wine bar, but they have a great food menu as well. My server, Lynne, was very nice. She was also from California originally, so we had a nice chat about that. Brussel sprouts: nicely burnt crusts, tender, really good! topped with lots of parmesan and I loved the anchovy vinaigrette 17 wakame salmon: wouldn't get this again - quite underwhelming. 17 Mac and cheese: so hot, gooey, and flavorful. Delicious, classic mac and cheese. They say it's made with 8 cheeses and their nine spice blend... wish I knew what the secret blend was! 12 Wine flights: feeling fish and dirty south - not my favorite selection, but I enjoyed going outside my comfort zone and trying new wines I wouldn't normally order. 17 each If I were to ever find myself back in Anchorage again, this would be one of the first spots I'm running back to.
