They have live music and a huge outside area with a big "beach" volley ball. Taps are respectable and it's a great space, much bigger than it looks from the outside. *pssst* they have secret cabins out back that you can rent if you drink too much. *keep it secret though, thanks*

This establishment is at best a dive bar. We actually sat, unknowingly, under a cast iron circle with signed bras and underwear hanging from it. The crowd did not represent any Alaskans that we encountered. This is a biker bar filled with Harley's, chaps, leather jackets, bandanas and cigarette smoke. Some interesting memorabilia on the walls... I'll leave it at that. So why two stars? The drinks are cheap and honestly my girlfriend's Svedka cucumber drink was pretty good and refreshing. Overall, it wasn't what we were expecting, interesting nonetheless and was a one time experience.

We made a reservation for a larger group, yet the table wasn't ready when we arrived, and we ended up waiting much longer than expected. For a place that requires reservations, this was frustrating right from the start. The food was just okay--not terrible, but definitely not worth the price. Given our background and familiarity with Latin cuisine, we expected much more in terms of flavor and authenticity, especially considering the high cost of the dishes. The live music, which we were looking forward to, started about 30 minutes late. To make matters worse, when one of the band members didn't show up, the owner asked a member of our family--who happens to be a musician--to step in and play. Not only did this put us in an awkward position, but there was no acknowledgment or discount offered for his time, even though we had other plans to get to. Parking is also inconvenient, with only street parking or paid lot options available. The restaurant itself is very small, which does create a somewhat intimate atmosphere, but it also feels cramped for larger groups. While the owner comes across as friendly, it also felt like there was a strong focus on maximizing profit. There are multiple additional fees listed in very small print at the bottom of the menu--something that should be much more transparent or reconsidered altogether. Service overall was slow, and again, the pricing does not match the quality or experience provided. At this point, I wouldn't personally recommend this place unless there are significant improvements--better service, more consistent food quality, fairer pricing, clearer fee transparency, and better management of their live music arrangements.
