    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar is cute, and decorated well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside and inside areas to sit and enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    Naturally with the name I had to come. SUCH a great experience. I came the last day of the season…read moreand Olivia herself was there. What a treat she is! 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.

    Ambiance is old timey Wild West, comfortable booth and a chance to people watch. Food was good,…read morehowever, since we came on a Sunday, they were out of most of the menu items. So sad! Their supplies come on a barge, and barge day is Tuesday. However, the cocktails were good, flavorful and strong. Got the crab legs (split the pound) and a side of fries. The crab was good, but not ohmygod good (honestly I have crab shipped to my house from Alaska that was better). The fries were awesome! And I'm not a fry person. Got a very generous piece of 24 carat cake too. The service was quite good. Our waitress apologized up and down for not having the menu items we really wanted.

    Beware of waiters that don't seem to enjoy their job. Wait time is long and food was ok but not…read moresure it is worth the wait.

    We had a great experience at Skagway Brewing Company! My husband and I ordered the Admiral Platter,…read morewhich came with halibut fish & chips, beer-battered shrimp, blackened salmon, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and slaw. The platter is HUGE--definitely enough to share! We split it between the two of us and were completely full by the end. The shrimp were really good--not overly battered and seasoned well. The blackened salmon was also flavorful and nicely seasoned. The halibut batter was softer rather than crunchy, which isn't usually my preference for fish & chips, but it was still good. The fries were especially delicious and seasoned perfectly. We also shared a bowl of clam chowder, which was delicious! I was a little surprised to learn that it's the only item on the menu that isn't made in-house, but regardless, we really enjoyed it. What impressed me just as much as the food was the staff. The bartender and the entire back-of-house team work incredibly hard. This place gets BUSY, yet the food comes out surprisingly fast without the service ever losing that friendly and welcoming feel. You can tell everyone is hustling and working together to keep things moving. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the location couldn't be more convenient--it's right in the path of cruisers coming off the ships and exploring Skagway. Great portions, good food, hardworking staff, and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by while in Skagway!
