If you're in downtown Anchorage, Tent City Taphouse is worth a stop, especially if you're into…read morelocal beer. They've got a solid variety of Alaska brews on tap, way more than your average spot, so it's easy to try something new or stick with a favorite. Food is decent across the board, nothing overly fancy, but it hits the spot and pairs well with the beer. Think reliable bar food done right. Just make sure you dodge all the homeless when walking around downtown.

I was so excited to try Tent City's gluten-free fried halibut and french fries. The place was…read morepacked around lunchtime, so we took that as a good sign and ordered our food to-go. We started eating within 2-3 minutes of walking out the door, but it was practically inedible.The fish and fries were incredibly laden with oil; just heavy, greasy, and completely unseasoned. Ratio of breading to fish was 50/50, so you get a little gipped on the actual fish. Everything desperately needed salt at minimum. To make matters worse, they send it with their berry tartar sauce, which is an absolute crime in all 50 states. We specifically requested regular tartar sauce and were given plain mayonnaise instead. None of our other requested condiments, like ketchup, were supplied either. Service for the limited time I interacted with her, was average. She was easy going, but not particularly warm or engaging. While the portions were fine, $35 for a meal that we tossed out after 2-3 bites is incredibly frustrating. I hate wasting money and fresh seafood, but it was just that bad.

Bartender was great- would go back just because of her... hilarious- full of locals. Must visitread more

Wanted to try this bar based on initial reviews. Walked in and it was very quiet on a Saturday…read more Asked for an old fashioned and the bartender said it was 15 minutes past her shift, her replacement was late and she had to leave and didn't know what to do. She then washed dishes for the next 5 minutes....in which time she could have made the drink easily. I Just got up and left, it looked like I wasn't missing much from what I saw. Never been to a bar where they greet you and then won't make you a drink and then proceed to ignore your group. Despite decent reviews I wouldn't waste your time making a trip here but that is up to you.

The food was good, but very unhappy with the service. We were informed that our food order would…read moretake 45 minutes to an hour. That's why we ordered a starter as well. However, we got our food earlier than the starter, and they didn't want to accommodate us with either taking back or even giving a discount. Don't order a starter unless you want to treat it as another entree! Trying to be reasonable but just don't feel like we got the service and assistance we paid for (it's not McDonald's after all)

The standout dishes were the steamed clams, halibut fish and chips, bacon brussel sprouts, and crab roll! Our server Grant was very personable and attentive plus the food/drinks came out quickly. We were very pleasantly surprised with how good everything tasted. The server was also able to provide great recommendations for local draughts. I personally loved the mango cider, and tigers blood was another popular one for our party. Remember to save room for dessert because the whisky bread pudding is phenomenal. We will definitely return on future trips to Anchorage. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Everything was priced relative well. Not too expensive and not super cheap either. The bacon caramelized onion Brussel sprouts were so delicious. Straight 10/10, I would absolutely recommend. The steak was average so so. Vegetables of course do get a cold as you eat. Mashed potatoes were delicious but also average. The glacier spiked lemonade was okay. The drink wasn't too strong and had a good flavor. Wasn't anything special considering the name.

They sat our large party in two groups. Very accommodating considering the size of our group. Service was great. Attentive and friendly. Also very patient. Got a couple cocktails and they were tasty. Also grabbed a couple local beers that were okay. Ordered the chowder and calamari. Calamari wasn't normal shaped. Very large and meaty. Also got the Brussels, very good. The sauce they give to dip these in were great. We only did apps, but others in party got meals that looked tasty. Definitely worth a stop!

It did start raining while we were there and unfortunately the bar does not have any cover to it, but it added to the experience. We had a salmon bowl and the crab grilled cheese. Both were huge portions and delicious, salmon chowder that came with the crab grilled cheese was especially delicious!

Best view for a dinner ever!!!! Got the halibut and the Crab grilled cheese…read more The crab grilled cheese is definitely a must try, but it is heavy. Very good though. The halibut! Delicious...... (hate to put this in a review, you won't go wrong getting the halibut but F street Bar wins on which I thought was best- and it's way cheaper- but you don't have the view at F street bar) so WIN/WIN. Either way. I can't wait to come back to 49th state brewery and enjoy more food and more view! Oh the bread pudding!!!! Finally found a good one. This is the best bread pudding I have had in years!!! Order it

Hands down one of the best local bars in downtown Anchorage…read more I never feel unsafe here even with the Gaslight down the way (and yes, we all know that place has its issues). The Pio just gives off the best bar energy downtown. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and always take such good care of you, which honestly makes all the difference. They bring in DJs throughout the week with different sets, and if you're there before the DJ starts, they've got a TouchTunes jukebox so you can play your own music. Inside, there's plenty to do: arcade-style games, pool tables, and air hockey, perfect if you're bouncing around downtown and want to actually hang out somewhere. They've done a few facelifts inside over the years, and it's only gotten better. This is easily one of our all-time favorite spots when we're downtown. And the best part? Sometimes on the weekends, if you're lucky, you step outside and there's a little hot dog stand set up right near the front door. Truly elite downtown behavior and one of my favorite things about being down there.

Definitely the best downtown bar. Cheap drinks and good bar tenders. Nice pool tables too. Love…read morethe food truck in the back ally.

Such a lovely place for pizzas in Anchorage. We totally loved the place…read more After hearing multiple recommendations for this spot we stopped by at Moose Tooth. We were seated in a few minutes and ordered their bread sticks for appetizer. The sticks were delicious and the dip was superb. For mains we for the vegetarian Popeye and Pesto Supreme half and half. The pizza was served quickly and was great. Also ordered their white and forager pizza. Of all the four options we loved the Popeye the best. A great place if you are around. Loved the vibe and the service. Has to be on the list if you are looking for good pizza options!

My wife and I waited about 20 minutes for a table and then waited about 30 minutes for our order to arrive. We shared a half Call of the Wild and half Amazing Apricot Pizza. Both good, would get them again. Between the two, I liked the Amazing Apricot more. If I were to come back, I'd probably order take out about 30 to 45 minutes before I wanted to eat so that it was ready when I want to eat.

But... if you have someone to converse with it's not to bad! The food was alright, nothing to write home to but it works when it's late at night.
