But the full bar is always open! Our server was in a bit of a rush but saw the other server (Adriana?) and she seemed super friendly, making the service good. We tried the burger and it was a pretty good size and good. The fries were ok. It's a fair value considering you have to pay airport prices and it's the only restaurant type option.

The staff was always super friendly and enjoyable, and the food and drinks always hit the spot. The food was good, nothing elaborate or extravagant, but well prepared and tasty. The drinks were always strong. Everything was reasonably priced and came with a great view. I really hope to get back to Fairbanks again soon, and if I do, I'll absolutely be back.

Came here to check it out as it was really well rated on Google, but was thoroughly disappointed by…read morethe our experience here. I would not recommend it to anyone visiting Fairbanks. When we arrived, we found out that you'd need a reservation to dine in the main dining hall, so we ended up going to the Saloon side where we had to find our own seats. We sat near the pool table, and the chairs were super unstable. The staff were fine but clearly seemed busy and understaffed. It took a long time for them to bring us water and take our order. I tried flagging the waitress 2-3 times when she was passing by and felt very ignored especially as I've made eye contact with her a few times. We ended up ordering the fried seafood combo and the seafood chowder, and it ended up taking at least 20min to come out (even the soup). The dishes were all very salty and definitely needed a lot of water to go with the food. Overall, definitely not a place to go before a flight since you might not be able to get in and out very quickly, and the food was really just alright for the price. Perhaps the main dining room experience would be better but I still wouldn't recommend it given the food quality and service.

Typical dive bar…read more CASH ONLY Be prepared it's cash only!! Previous reviews advised bar was a little smokey... I didn't get that impression at all. It is defintely a small hole in the wall. They have a small upstairs area that is away from the music if you happen to be there on a music night. Bathrooms are tiny, and only one person at a time. We stumpled here on open mic night which was pretty cool to see. Parking is limited. Staff is friendly. Appears there are a lot of regulars who visit here. All in all an okay place for a night out

When I was a little girl, my parents didn't read me the typical princess fairytale bedtime stories…read more- I was a Sourdough; an Alaskan. Poems and ballads of Robert Service were spun to life as I was nestled into a swirl of downy rest. 'The Cremation of Sam McGee' was a favorite... a tale of sled dogs and friendships only the Yukon could build. But the story I always wanted to hear was 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew'... a cold blooded murder, a dusty piano, and a Lady that's known as Lou. The setting: The Malemute Saloon. Most childhood bedtime stories are set in fictional places with fictional characters. The Malemute Saloon was not only a real place, but a place that I knew and loved. My father, the bartender; my mother, the honky-tonk piano player. This place is legit. Sawdust floor, swinging doors, bar stools worn with years. The memories (now 20 years old) still fresh as new fallen snow. Huskies howling at the Northern Lights and the crunch of peanut shells under mud-caked boots. I couldn't think of a place more suited to raise a child. And, mark my words, the best custard you'll ever eat.
