Nice little dive spot in Spenard! I actually really like…read morethis place, free pool on Mondays a great rotation of Karaoke nights, you'll often find a live band playing on the weekend and they have a FREE taco bar on Tuesdays!!! Super friendly bartenders, and quick to get service. Not a huge selection on tap but let's be honest you're not hitting up a dive in Spenard for the craft beer....its for the Spenard "Ambiance" *pro tip* Keep your eye on their socials for great party events!! This year (2025) they served up a free complete Thanksgiving dinner for folks.

Sure, why not hit the Trophy Room? You want a drink, and they have them!…read moreVery chill place we spent a little time in. Good (strong) drinks and plenty of local beers on tap. We didn't eat so I can't speak to the food, but the bartenders were great and attentive and made for a good experience. Good place to kind of chat and be left alone if you don't need anything. Definitely nothing special or fancy, but pretty classic Alaska bar and would go back. Also decent patio situation if you want some fresh air.

Trophy Room Lounge...south Anchorages' local neighborhood bar, connected to Jewel Lake Bowl…read more I rarely frequent this place, but it's a laid back chill vibe. Tight security who are welcoming and respectful. Large bar area with a few local tap options. Mounted TV's, pool tables, popcorn machine, high top tables and booths. They also have a cute outdoor patio area. They have jukebox karaoke weekly. Beer is allowed in the bowling alley now, so watch out for servers behind you, running those orders out. Would love to see live music in this space. Usually the music is better in the bowling alley.

We all enjoyed excellent, tasty food; I especially liked the light lunch I had: an order of gyoza and a cup of tomato bisque soup. Yum!

Our group ended up having dinner at Caboose lounge from our driver who actually lives in Palmer…read more The restaurant wasn't busy but by it being in a small town, a group of 24 could have overwhelmed them but it did not. They have a large choice of food items and they serve breakfast all day. We ordered corn fritters w honey butter to try. They were amazing! I had two and could have eaten more but my dinner hadn't come out yet. I ordered the Halibut fish & chips. I was impressed how tasty they were. Perfectly fried and seasoned well. The tartar sauce was good. The cole slaw was okay so I tried the potato salad which was better. Overall great meal! Since we had a large party, they ran out of desserts before I had a chance to order. The 17 kids in the group were able to get order desserts, the adults did not. No worries. The trip was for the kids.

- - THE UPSIDE It's…read morefast. Service is courteous, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. Food arrives quick! It's cheap. The menu is a little overwhelming and the print is small. But so many options makes the possibilities feel almost endless. The bacon is crispy. If you like your bacon chewy, maybe ask for it that way. I like mine crispy and it's been that way EVERY SINGLE TIME. YAY! - - THE DOWNSIDE The decaf coffee is not great. I've had it three times and I think it's instant coffee, maybe? Whatever it is, it's bad. In a state with so much great coffee, this seems like a point that shouldn't be bad. Sigh* The over medium eggs are really over easy. This is a bummer. The diner of Alaska that can make me true over medium eggs will forever earn my patronage. - - Conclusion It's okay the coffee is bad, because they had a porter on tap which was almost like drinking an iced coffee. At least that's what I'm going with. =]

Keeps proper hours, rippies don't take precedence here, liquor does which is refreshing. The collection of characters here is top notch. The drinks are strong and bartenders take no shit. A refuge from so many trendy 'dive bars'. They mean business here.

Finally came back to take our orders. Drinks still not served. Bartender was yukking it up with someone and watching the World Cup game. Waiter had to be flagged down to get the drinks, which had not been made. Then the food comes. Never had a Caesar salad quite like this one, with tomatoes, red cabbage and no Parmesan. Big chunks of core too btw. Friend's salad came...dry. No dressing. Couldn't find waiter. Crab legs good, but served with cheap rice and a dry vegetable medley that was weird, sliced cauliflower, edemame, couple other things that looked like leftovers mixed together. Never did get refills, the entire experience was chaotic and frustrating. DO NOT GO!!

Friendly service with great music playing. Got tapas (very reasonably priced) and a cocktail right after work. Sign says they're open 5 to 11 pm (I think Thursday thru Saturday).

Spenard....more like "Spent All Day."…read more They really put the "wait" in wait staff. Waited at least 20 mins for the privilege to order. 4 people eating, my food was cold probably because it was not timed properly. Friend got the same dish, he got butter and jam, I didn't - more unnecessary waiting. Nice ambience, although cold food tasted good. Since no one is taking care of you after your meal you get that I'm trapped here because they won't let me pay anxiety.
