    Great cocktails, locally distilled on site. Right next to the Skagway airport. Worth the short walk from downtown. Favorite amongst the locals. Highly recommend while Visiting Skagway.

    You'll have to walk almost a mile away from the tourist area, and it'll totally be worth it ! This tiny place was amazing. I checked it out while my friends went for the train tour. The bartender offered me samples of the gin and vodka. Then I told him I generally prefer bourbon over gin & vodka, so the bartender (forgot to ask the gentleman's name) offered to make an old fashion (they just started doing bourbon and they had a small batch [not officially selling yet] ) I think it was aprox 55% alcohol content. I just sipped it while amazed at the view of the mountains and the private airport next to it. haha. Upon finishing my drink, I went back to meet up with my friends and brought them all back to Skagway Spirit's Distilliery. My friends thought I brought them to a sketchy area, as we were off the beaten path. (Are there any dangerous areas in Alaska?) My second drink was a dirty martini. Was solid, but couldn't touch the old fashioned. So I ordered old fashion again. My friends tried a few different drinks from the menu. Overall - the most special drink was an almond sour. It was ridiculously good. Amazing flavor, and balance. If they would of sold bourbon bottles for sales, I would of bought one. Drinks were surprisingly inexpensive ($10 per drink) Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area. I might not ever return, but was a very special memory.

    Go here! We had some fabulous cocktails at Skagway Spirits Distillery, and were especially blown away by the rhubarb Collins. Omg, so damn delicious and beautiful to look at too. The fireweed cosmo was tasty to boot. Our bartender was super friendly, nice & welcoming. The bar is cute, and decorated well. Again, go here. You won't be disappointed.

    Off the beaten path, but we'll worth the 5 blocks off Main Street. Small batch Gin and Vodka. Outside and inside areas to sit and enjoy. Stephenie was a great hostess and bartender.

    Very delicious cocktails made using local ingredients, and prepared artfully. Their staff was very friendly, and providing some spirit tastings to help us make decisions. It was a beautiful day, and their outdoor patio is the perfect spot to enjoy your bevvy. A bit off the main path of Skagway, but absolutely worth the walk!

    what an amazing find. but off the beaten path, took us about 15 mins to walk from the downtown area but it was nice to get out of the touristy area! great small menu made with their own spirits. the gin was so clean, really a whole different level of spirits. definitely recommend!

    Almond sour and a rhubarb gin drink..

    Bit off the beaten path for the tourists, but worth the walk. Met the distiller and sampled their first whiskey a little early.. tried a couple of their signature cocktails.. Almond sour awesome.. cool vibe to this place..

    A couple blocks off the main drag and little quieter. Had a grapefruit rosemary gin drink which was lovely.

    New friends at Skagway Spirits.  Great spirits, drinks and even better people!

    We love Skagway simply for the people... but the drinks help too! I had the classic gin and tonic, which was amazing, and the hubby had the Rhubarb Collins. The distiller distills the gin with herbs and florals in such a way that won't overpower your taste buds or mixed drinks. We decided to purchase a bottle for home. The merch here is also really cool, the coolest shirts I bought in all of Alaska, and I bought a LOT of bar shirts... probably too many (is that possible? I don't know!). We loved that the locals are passionate about Skagway and open to teach you about the amazing history and their current way they live life there. Truly a wonderful experience. Skagway is by far our favorite. We had an awesome time roaming around with Redd (part owner/captain of Sea Craft Hover Tours... make sure to check that tour out too!)

    Need this sign!

    Wonderful small business with great spirits and amazing craft cocktails. We stopped in here after hiking to the cemetery and Lower Reid Falls in Skagway. We were warmly greeted and offered samples of their gin and vodka. The owner explained the process of making the syrups used in the cocktails, which included rhubarb and fireweed. We had 2 cocktails each and every drink was amazing. At only $8 each they are an incredible bargain for a craft cocktail. This place really is a hidden gem. Well worth a visit!

    Interesting limit of drinking thanks to AK law

I was trying to get some souvenirs and she told me a couple spots to check out and held my table while I went across the street! I wanted something fresh and local and they're a great place for that. It's her parents restaurant and her mom grows herbs that they use in dishes. Olivia travels a lot so it was serendipitous that I actually got to meet her! Seemed like a spot a lot of the locals hang at, felt very homey, Cheers type everyone knows your name place with delicious food! I did a Rojito, seafood pasta and a side of crostini. The drink was so refreshing! I remember her mom was involved with its creation and of course it's her fresh grown mint! The pasta had huge chunks of very tasty seafood! Outside of being here (AK) I probably wouldn't order something like that but I'm glad I did. The pasta was delicious and the seafood was fresh. The crostini's were so good too. I hear they have great desserts but we shared a fry bread earlier and there was just no room for more. I got a shirt bc I couldn't not. I truly loved it here. Such a chill, kind vibe. If ever in Skagway I'll be back. Thank you to Olivia and team for more than making me feel welcomed.

The sauce was so good; this was served with mini toasted bread ovals with a rich full sauce. The whipped cream cheese on top was an extra bite of goodness. The service was fast and attentive.

I didn't want to mention this but we were the only black patrons in the restaurant at that time. I cannot say in good conscience say that I would recommend any one to your restaurant.

He was quick and efficient in taking photos for everyone on the bus at each of the stops. We were a bit cautious of his driving. I understand he is quite familiar with this drive, but given the weather and often poor visibility we had on the drive, and the size of the bus, he seemed to be driving a bit fast, even passing other buses on the drive. Our tour stopped at the Yukon sign where we actually had some clear skies we could see the mountains in the background. On our return, we stopped at a rural dog sled training camp. We visited the puppies and got to play with them. We were here for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. It would've been nice if the owner came over to say "hi" and talk a bit about dog sledding and the competitions she competes in. Some in our tour group paid extra to take a dog sled ride which was basically the dogs hooked up to a large golf cart with everyone piled into the cart. Not impressive, glad we didn't do it. But we had to wait around for those that did pay for that extra feature to get their ride so we were there for almost 2 hours. It felt like our time here was never ending. To sum up our tour, we spent 4 hours in a bus driving through the Yukon range and seeing the puppies. Not sure if we would do this again if we return.

We booked with Kate by email, and she helped us adjust the tour so we didn't go to the suspension bridge since I am afraid of heights. He took us up to Canada, the same route the train takes. He stopped a few times for us to take pictures and wander around at the waterfalls and lake. On the way home, Jay found a bear along side the road eating the dandelions and turned around - the bear crossed the road, but it was so much fun to see him up close and just loved it!! He also took us up to see the sled dog mushing camp, which was wonderful. We pet the puppies and saw them pulling a sled. It is run by a sledder, and we learned a lot about it from a professional. We also saw mountain goats and eagles. AND it did take more than 4 hours, which should have cost more, but we were having so much fun and I think he enjoyed our group too, and he didn't ask for more money, but should have if we had known ahead. We were having so much fun that I didn't realize it had been 5 hours instead of 4 until it was nearly over - so we tipped him more to try to make up for it, - but it was amazing and fun, and we loved every minute!!
