Loved this hidden little gem. From the outside it looks like a run down tourist photo opportunity but when you open the door and go inside is where the fun begins. Nice little bar. Loved all of the money and pictures left on the walls. They even leave markers on the tables so that you can join in by leaving a momento. Highly recommend. read more

Nothing friendly about this place. Not a single smile. Not a single nice thing to say. Also not friendly for women, feels like a very unsafe place. read more

TIP: Get $40-60 in cash (there is a Wells Fargo in town), Arrive at 4-5 PM when the fishing boat crews arrive, Bring a $1 bill, write something on it and pin it to the wall, If you like Bloody Mary's, get one or more. This is a MUST DRINK HERE in Homer AK. Every town in Alaska has one or more dive bars but this is the crown jewel of Alaska dive bars. heck it out. read more

If you think you've seen bars with dollar bills hanging all over the walls.. you ain't seen nothing until you've seen this joint!! Old cabin from the 1930's converted to a bar & it's not very big inside although they do have an outdoor seating area. Great joint to have a few beers and put your dollar on the wall after a long fishing trip! Prices are about average & watch for drunken tourists who look to be at their first rodeo// Talk Later read more

We made a day trip to Homer from Seward and this spot was mentioned a lot on Reddit so I thought we might as well check it out. Salty Dawg Saloon is truly an experience. It was rainy and cold outside so people had packed in to get some warmth. The establishment is cash only, but there's an ATM if you don't have any. It was busy but service was prompt and super friendly. As the kids would say, the vibes were immaculate. read more

This. Place. Is. EPIC! Enjoying an Irish coffee with friends after a night of shenanigans and music. The soundtrack here is Pink Floyd, 70's and 80's rock. The bar mistress is my spirit animal and I just got the coolest Tshirt. Atmosphere is super chill and welcoming. Drinks are appropriately spiked and I will never forget the dollar bill aesthetic. 10/10 for service and ambiance. read more

A must nostalgic stop when in Homer. Bring cash , that's all they take, grab a cold one and settle in. After awhile you will start to try and count the abundance of currency labeled and hung on every square inch of the place. If lucky you can sit outside or spot a recent catch being fileted. The bartender was busy but care of everyone! Enjoy read more

This place was a riot. (Bring cash as they don't take credit cards. They also have an ATM). Crowded and really no food speak of, but who cares. The atmosphere is fun and the bloody mary's were great. We visited at least once each day during our stay in Homer. A must visit when you are in Homer. read more

Neat dive bar out in the spit. Everything is covered in dollar bills. It's worth a visit. But the prices and drinks were ok, not great. And the service was short and rude. Definitely a tourist trap. read more

Total hole in the wall bar. Walk in and I am shocked with what we see. Dollar bills on every wall & ceiling. Write a note on the dollar bill and pin it to the wall. This historic spot is a definite stop for all visitors. It's a really cool, tiny place to grab a drink and relax read more

Loved visiting again. Love the bartender. Love everything about this place. First went in 1980. Used to live in Homer but hadn't been there since 2014. read more

Awesome place for a great vibe and drinks!!!! So glad we stopped in and checked it out on our 50th birthday trip. read more

A great local bar. Friendly staff with good service. I recommend this place if you want just a bar not food.

Places is very down to earth , definitely a place to stop and have few drinks. I order "something sweet" it was very good and strong . The place is very fun the bartender is amazing . Going back there tonight again. Music was very pleasant. Definitely a place to check out read more

The Dawg is nostalgic for us, having been raised in Alaska. Nowadays, it's a huge tourist attraction, but on slower nights outside of the short summer season, you'll still easily find a spot at the bar and be able to reminisce with some Homer locals. Cash only (with an ATM available), no food, and updated jukebox. read more

There are dive bars, but this one is a must see one in a million. I've never seen anything like it before to this level. There isn't a surface that hasn't been papered with signed dollar bills from around the world in the interior of this bar. We dropped a fortune in sweatshirt and T-shirt purchases and had a chance to be creative with our graffiti both on the dollar bills and on the patio walls. Put it on the Homer must do list. read more

Fun dive bar. Cash only. Sign a dollar bill and become part of the history. The wearable souvenirs are excellent.

Everything you could ever need to end a perfect day in Homer! Awesome staff and cheap drinks! Be sure to bring cash. Extra dollar bills are a plus!! read more

Had a great time over Christmas! Bartender happily kept topping off my boozy coffee with whipped cream. Can see why it's so popular, would def come back if I'm in Homer again read more

What a fun and inviting bar this was out on the spit! I went during the off-season, but it was still a nice place to drop in and have a drink! read more

The draw to the bar is that everyone hangs a dollar bill anywhere they would like. The real draw is that the Salty Dog was a lighthouse during a 9.2 earthquake and was the only building to survive!! It's CASH ONLY- even for merchandise (merchandise also available behind the bar, in the Salty Girl gift shop, and they take cards) . Service depends on the bartender- we stopped in 3 times after fishing- 1st time was awesome, Erica, super nice and then the 2nd was a bit cold and our 3rd time we were celebrating a great fish day by ordering shots and the bartender told us if we get drunk she would call the cops! Really? There were 4 of us and we had 2 beers and shot and left. Didn't go back again. read more

If you're ever in Homer Spit, Alaska you have to visit the Salty Dawg Saloon. If Webster's had a definition for Dive Bar the Dawg's photo would be next to it. Our group had just returned from a 4 hour Halibut trip in cold, wet conditions and decided to have a few drinks and buy some souvenirs. The bar is covered walls to ceiling in dollar bills signed by the previous visitors. The place reminds you of the bar from the Star Wars movie in a good way. Our group ordered mostly local Alaskan Brews (all good) but one of our guys was cold to the bone from fishing. The bartender whipped up a fine Hot Buttered Rum for him that hit the spot. I was waiting for Jack Sparrow to stroll in and order some Grog. Must see place when in Homer Spit. read more

This is definitely not a family experience However, for singles or couple it's a cool history behind this place, that was the main reason why I went there. It was so busy however that there was hardly standing room there! The was stinky and loud and not preference of someone to grab a beer but all in all I'd say it's worth see it, if your on the Homer Spit! read more

After the long trek from Anchorage to Homer on a snowy and rainy day I was looking forward to experiencing something in Homer. Thank goodness for the Salty Dawg, it's about the only place/bar even open and one of the places on my list to check out. It's a total little dive bar which I was completely enthusiastic about visiting. I ordered an amber beer and told myself celebrating my birthday surrounded by cash has got to be a good omen for my next 365 day trip around the sun. I put a song on the juke box and wrote on a dollar to hang up in the place and I was out. Short and sweet visit. I can see how when this town is lively and thriving, non pandemic, non off season this could be a really fun little spot to get together. Don't go to Homer without going to the Salty Dawg, it's my wish for you. read more

This place makes all those only in your state and oldest bar lists. I love stuff like that! It did not disappoint. It is a shack right off the spit and you walked down into it and don't realize how big it is until you get inside. There's the usual kitchen dollar bills everywhere but the real charm is that it is full of locals and tourists and is a fun place to have a beer or a salty dog after a long day out in Homer. Parking is all along the street out front and I can't recall a bathroom. read more
