    Twisted River IPA from Denali Brewing and my silly husband.
    Marsha S.

    This is a review for the bar downstairs., not the upstairs brewery. The doors are at the back of the building- the one on the left goes to the upstairs brewery area, the one on the right goes to the main bar downstairs. This is one of the diviest of dive bars I've ever been to. Perfect! We were there around 3pm on a weekday and it was just us and a few regulars (the bartender knows what they want without them having to order). The bar is dark, there are neon signs and tintack signs all over, and names carved into the tables and walls. There is a pool table and fooz ball, but we had brought our own deck of cards to pass some time. The beers are in cans and bottles (no draft). We each enjoyed a Twisted River IPA from Denali Brewing. There is also a Touch Tunes juke box so you can play your favorite tunes.

    Darts!

    Loved this place. Dart boards, pool table, and even fussball. It's cash only, but there is an atm if you run out. You do have to give them your ID if you want darts. The juke box is super cool. App based and loads of music to choose from! I was surprised they only had one beer on tap, a hefe which I'm not a fan of. But plenty of other beers in bottles.

    I have been here a few times now and have always had a good time. The bartenders have been kind and security had also been really chill, even when people are being turds. It's a rustic old bar feel and there is always a few of Fairbanks finest prospectors there. Just waiting for some of them to start doing a jig. I will def go back for a few more ice cold adult beverages.

    Awesome little dive bar. Absolutely loved the outdoor addition out back with food truck drive in. Drinks were a good price. Needed a 2nd, maybe 3rd bartender downstairs after 8:30 or so PM. Upstairs bar accepts card till it closes at 8. Downstairs bar is cash only.

    If you want a Fairbanks bar full of character, this is the spot. Draft beers were a buck more than a couple of other bars. The cocktail special, a blueberry cosmo, was basically pink lemonade with vodka--I'd stick to the beer. Best part was excellent people watching and eavesdropping. Glad we stopped in.

    After we hit Mecca for a couple of beers, my friends suggested that we try another dive bar. That was a brilliant idea - Midnight Mine is a ton better and has a much calmer vibe. Maybe that it's in the basement of the building. Regardless, I was much happier and felt a whole lot more secure. After a round of beers, we played a few rounds of pool on their 75¢ table. Darts? Probably not a good idea after as much to drink as we did. If the dog is here, that's the show right there. When you give the dog a dollar bill, she brings it into the bar and puts it in a jar. She then returns to you and by this time, the bartender has given you a doggie treat to give to her. It's a pretty cute little gig she has going on - there was a good $50 in that jar! Cash only.

    Don't pull it

    Comfortable local bar. Being from out of town, I did not like the smoking inside. Billiards and darts available for a very cheap rate.

    The food is good but the portions are a tad on the small side for the price. The service is just…read moreok. My waitress seemed like she wasn't having it. I asked her which she preferred between 2 items and instead of giving me her opinion, she told me we're going with the 1st one because I said it 1st. She also seemed annoyed when she came to give me the hot sauce I asked for. The other server was cleaning the table next to me and asked me if I wanted the hot sauce before she put it away. I actually thought my server was going to grab it from that table to give to me, thought that'd be more efficient, but I guess she needed to walk away and do other things 1st before bringing me hot sauce. -C. F. S.: the gravy is good! One of the better ones I've had in quite a bit. The chicken fried steak was crunchy even though it was drenched in sauce. Delicious! I'm surprised that a bread item (was really hoping for a biscuit) didn't come with this dish for being almost $30. - Cajun salmon Benedict: delicious! I thought the salmon was overcooked but it was perfect! Hollandaise sauce was delicious. Not sure how it's Cajun though. The marinated tomatoes were tasty too! I would eat them on their own! Yum!

    Walked in at 4:45 on a Tuesday and the place was dead (at least the restaurant side didn't go to…read morethe bar side), should have been an indicator. Went in wanting the chicken pot pie, we were told after we ordered drinks that the pot pie and 3 or 4 other dishes on a small menu were sold out...how do you sell out of the pot pie when it's one of the items you are known for? The portions are not that big for the price. The sandwiches do not come with a side which is noted on the menu, but the sides are pricy to add on. The buffalo chicken wrap tasted good but the crispy chicken wasn't crispy and the fries I added were limp. Really wished I could have tried the chicken pot pie. In all, it was ok, went in with much higher expectations which left me very underwhelmed.
