The Narrows Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

My favorite bar in Juneau. I love the atmosphere, perfect date night spot or meet up with a friend. Always friendly service and incredible cocktails. I have visited Juneau for business on 4 occasions my first stop is always the Narrows. So far they are the only establishment in town with an impressive gin collection. If you want a craft cocktail or you are not sure what you want the bartenders will gladly make you something special that they love or think you will like. The Narrow's is a must visit when in downtown Juneau. read more

Have to say the penicillin is one of my all time favorite cocktails, and The Narrows Bar makes a great one. Can really taste the scotch floater. Our bartender made our drinks fast and delicious! The bar has a comfy couch, which is always another bar favorite of mine! Great bar!! read more

Juneau has a few places that offer something: a food, a drink, a vibe...that nowhere in Anchorage, a town with roughly 10X as many people, has. This is firmly one of those. (Amalga Distillery is another) I can unequivocally say that the penicillin I had here is the best cocktail I have ever had. It wasn't good "for Juneau", it wasn't good "for Alaska", it was just good. Really good. I've had penicillins in restaurants where you can't get out without spending $100 per person, and they were nowhere as near as good as this one. Not ever close! That mix of smoke and spice and sweet was just perfectly balanced. I'm salivating just thinking about it. I also really, REALLY appreciated that the staff were knowledgeable without being gatekeepy or pretentious. That is rare for a craft cocktail bar. (I honestly would go to cocktail bars more if it weren't for the this insufferably terroir some of them seem to have) You usually here a lot of non-scientific fluff from bartenders at places like this, NOT this one though! I will be back, they made my birthday night super-special and...we didn't even tell them it was my birthday, let alone that I had just turned 40. read more

Such an amazing addition to downtown Juneau. Cozy and welcoming inside but without losing a little high end shine. It is tiny inside though. They don't call it the Narrows for nothing. The bartenders were friendly and chatty, happy to give suggestions. The cocktails were good with a couple standouts. The Mai Thai was recommended to us by the bartender and blew all the other drinks away. Flavorful, a little spiced smelled wonderful, we got two! The alpine blue was the other standout. Along the lines of a gin fizz with such amazing blueberry flavor, so fresh, and the rosemary complimented the gin beautifully. The paper plane was solid as far as paper planes go. The side car and old fashioned left a little wanting. Both seemed a touch watery, like they were left sitting on the ice slightly too long before poured. read more

I read about this swanky bar before our visit and was so excited to try a cocktail with glacier ice, which was not available when we were there. We still enjoyed our drinks before heading out for dinner. I'd list this place as one of my top five places to eat/drink in Juneau. read more

Great craft cocktails! The perfect place to have a beverage and chat with friends. Friendly bartenders and top notch ingredients

Casey is awesome!! We were visiting from Florida and she was very informative and social while making a plethora of drinks for our group. I highly recommend this place for anyone that enjoys drinks. I highly recommend the Rum Old Fashioned with Kasama rum. A Casey special recommendation. Thanks for all your service!! read more

First night in Juneau and we found this amazing bar. Every drink was up to the mark. Matt surprised us with one of his own creations too and it was spectacular. There was live music playing and a lot of people in the bar enjoying the return to normalcy. Order the penicillin if you like a spicy drink. You won't regret it. Update- Went again the next night and had a different bar tender who were learning the recepies and the drinks were good just not as good as the previous night. read more

The Narrows Bar - Bourbon Renewal - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Now this is what a bar is supposed to be like. Cozy and full of people. It's beautiful inside and they can make anything you want. The music is good and the bartender was attentive. I heard that they also have a mixologist. I ordered something off the menu called a Blue Magoo and it was delicious. I'm not sure why we didn't discover this great bar before but we will be back in August for sure. Cudos to the bartender for refusing to serve the drunk lady. She gave her a glass of water. Pure class. read more

Great craft cocktails right in the heart of downtown Juneau. Prices range from $10 up to $13 for their featured cocktails & a huge selection of spirits. The ones we tasted were great, and the bartender was very knowledgeable. read more

Will have to go back and give this place another chance. They have an interesting menu and a cool vibe, but the other patrons were rude and entitled. We came early and were actively ordering and drinking. A group came in after we had just settled in with our first round and pushed our party out to take over the couch at the rear, despite several open seats available up front. These young adults playing (cross) dress up just started encroaching and crowding us out without a word to us. Had they been polite, we might have felt better about accommodating a request. We finally just paid our bill and left as it was not an enjoyable experience and by the end we couldnt even hear ourselves over their intentionally loud banter inches from our ears and across the table all around us. read more

No better way to start our trip in Juneau than with Matt's craft cocktails. It was a vibrant place even on a Tuesday night and I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Juneau. We ordered pretty much all of their drinks on the menu and they were all great! Summer splash, penicillin, The Last Word were some of read more

Killer cocktails with a wide range of options. Lots of fresh ingredients. Strongly recommend.

Went in, sat for 15 minutes at the bar, 2 bar tenders, both totally ignored me. Why is this place rated highly?

don't hesitate, they will not disappoint. We're California wine drinkers and they even managed to make us happy. The scotch selection checked off all the boxes. Staff is super knowledgeable and chill. (hey just make sure not to lean back when you sit on the couch in the back. that gorgeous sculpture needs to move up about 9 inches.) read more

If you ever travel to Juneau, this place is a must! It was the best part of my first time in Juneau. The music is phenomenal. The drinks are amazing. This is the best bar in Juneau. Period. read more

Love the ambiance and the staff is great. The prices are high but it keeps the riffraff out. Great place for an after work beverage.

I met my friend here, and it got busier as the hour wore on. Good view of downtown from the window. It really is "narrow" in here and has the atmosphere of a speakeasy. Felt a little out of place, as I don't really drink much, but the bartender suggested he could tone down the vodka for me. To be honest, I was fine with a water (such a party pooper I know, but I don't mind a good atmosphere and a lively conversation every now and then). My friend got the dark and stormy- dark rum, lime, and ginger for $10. Most of the specialty cocktails ran in the $11-12 range, which is a little over the top. They do have a wide variety of alcohol, and they said they are planning to expand for a kitchen in the back. (As of right now, if you have a large gathering or birthday party and call ahead of time, they can arrange for some creme brulee's for your group). The best part was watching the bartender at work. The way he made 5 different drinks at once- egg white here, lemon peel there. It was like an artwork. Too bad that there's competition between here and the other distilleries in town. read more

Beautiful bar with a great selection of cocktails. The Blue Bear is a favourite but you'd find it hard to go wrong here. If you are in the mood for some cruise ship gossip, try a Monday evening (or if you are on a cruise come here for some behind the scenes info) read more

Great craft cocktails, chill ambience, sexy staff and good times. Not to miss if your looking for a good drink in town.

This gem of a cocktail and spirits bar is nestled in amongst the kitchy tourist trap shops of "historic" downtown Juneau. The whisk[e]y selection is impressive, and they put their own spin on standard cocktails. If you prefer good cocktails and ambiance instead of the tourist trap hellscape, drop in here and get a drink. read more

Jared has a real gem here in an area of cruise-ship party joints. He is super-knowledgeable of his spirits and made me one of the best Manhattans I have ever had. Even given Juneau prices, his offerings are very reasonably priced. If you really care about what you're drinking, give The Narrows a visit or three. Or four. read more

The best of the best when it comes to craft cocktails, sexy bartenders, and sought after whisky. Sydney our bartender was on point with her knowledge, customer service, and skill. A true industry professional! The owner too was accommodating and welcoming to not only us but the rest of the bar patrons. We got a kick out of his alaskan style (he was sporting flip flops in mid January). read more

Pros: excellent selection, speakeasy atmosphere, not loud, yummy mixed drinks. I tried the summer smash. Not too sweet and refreshing. Con: the bartender maybe had an off day because she was not friendly, when asked about her opinion in one scotch vs another she would not give us any direction, and seemed annoyed at the questions being asked. I ended up getting a serving of Hibiki for $45. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on one drink, the least I can get is an answer to my questions. read more

Out of the four bars in Juneau I sampled, this one had the kindest staff, best drinks, and most personality. The bartenders dog adds a great touch too - although I'm sure that's not intentional. Great spot folks read more

Nice menu selection. I ordered there Summer Smash which consisted of Jeambean, bourbon, strawberry, mint and lemon. It was DELICIOUS! I'm not big on drinking and I don't care for hard alcohol so this was perfect! And ine was enough to feel really relaxed.....There was live blues music the day I went. The guy playing was really good. I'd recommend. read more

Amazing date night spot to grab a drink before dinner. A tight squeeze if it's busy, but the cocktails are worth it. The staff was super friendly. read more

Overpriced, overrated, underserved, and underwhelming. That about sums up "the Narrows." We were recommended this place presumably because of the whole "mixology" fad which has apparently hit even Juneau. However, there's no real logical reason for going to this bar unless you just want to feel like a pretentious d****bag. Aside from the expensive cocktails (which I presume were milked from the frothy loins of God himself, aged over a decade in oak barrels, and hand-crafted in a shaken mixture with Campari and moose urine) - the bartender was an utter nightmare. We came to the Narrows optimistic and open-minded, but that changed when the hipster calling himself a bartender (but looking more like a disgruntled colonial reenactor) was incredibly rude to us simply because we asked for a recommendation. I'll take the modest, reasonably priced, friendly bar across the street from the Narrows any day. read more

Great atmosphere and great drinks. However, it is likely the most expensive place to have drinks in Juneau. Hard to justify $15 cocktails if wanting to have more than 1-2. read more
