We both agreed that The Asylum was our favorite of the 3 pubs that we visited in Ketchikan during…read morethe pub crawl. It's well known for their specialty Duck Fart shots, but it's really the owners that make it so special. We were greeted warmly by Carlos. He made this visit so much fun. Honestly, I would have loved to stay longer to sample some of the local beers. They have many craft beers on tap. I just couldn't pass up the Booty Juice cocktail. It's strong & unique. I think he said it was a local huckleberry vodka, but I could be wrong. The best part was the Duck Fart shot. Don't go by the recipe because he actually makes it a little different. I won't spoil it for you. Not all Duck Farts are created equal. Haha! My husband won a t-shirt with the pub logo. Yes, our group played a trivia game. The owner admittedly has no filter. That's really what made the whole experience such a blast. Unfortunately, it was our first stop so we had to move on. I'd definitely revisit this one again in the future.

There's a number of reasons to visit this unique bar in Ketchikan. Its history comes from the…read morefamily that owns it. You can read about that history on their website. They have a big collection of old ship and shipwreck photos decorating the walls. I also saw what looked like an antique painting of gamblers in the Gold Rush period, as well as some old historical memorabilia. It was like walking into a different time period with all the décor and wood paneling. We had a choice of a beer or a cocktail. We chose the Sourdough Mule. Apparently, tequila and ginger pair well together. It was good, but I liked the Bear Skat shot the best. Who knew that Blueberry Vodka would make such a big difference in the flavor? My husband really liked the Butt Hole shot. I didn't get to try it, but he said it was pretty good. We didn't get to stay long. It was our last pub crawl stop. By that point, we were all a little buzzed before heading back to Ward Cove. Thankfully our tour operator was our designated driver. It was a great time spent in Downtown Ketchikan!

What struck my interest was the reindeer hot dog! What's cool about this place is you can order from any menu; breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The hot dog is yummy, but a little hard to eat because they cook it open faced, so I ate it with a fork and knife. My husband ordered the blueberry cakes, which were enormous! I'm not much of a pancake girl, but these were scrumptious and made with fresh blueberries. The portions are generous so some items are good to share. It has a classic, laid back diner feel, nothing fancy but very casual and relaxed. Their was only one waitress at the time, but she was friendly and fun and got our food to use quickly.

So, we went in asked the bartender who was awesome to explain it as she made it and it was a tasty little concoction of crown, Jameson, and Kahlua.

The bar looked roomie, it was empty during midday though, but it appeared to have potential for live music and lively gatherings come sundown. If you have time and are thirsty, check it out.
