Over the 2.5 hours of dancing , the DJ refused to play any of the music we requested . Even though we were the only customers dancing . Mr. DJ , had no idea how to read the crowd or how to mix music ( unless it on the same number of beats ) . The lounge was half full and would assume it is doing well ? However with a different DJ who would play to the crowd , could fill the dance floor which in turn bring more people and money into the business. Unfortunately, you have lost 5 costumers , that will share our experience with other potential customers. P.S - after speaking to others about our experience, they shared similar stories.

This is my first ever yelp review. The worst business establishment I have been to. I would give…read morethis place a zero star review if I could, but unfortunately that is not an option. The staff members were openly hostile. Specifically the bouncer. She was not wearing anything that clearly marked she was a staff member, she looked like any other patron at the bar. It didn't seem like there was anyone there to check our IDs. When we walked in, she screamed at us for ID. Other staff members were also extremely unfriendly. It was uncomfortable, the staff members were talking about us and staring at us the entire time we were there. We left shortly after arriving because if this treatment. Beyond the behavior of the staff, I noticed how dirty the entire establishment was. The bar is only lit by neon lights, because they don't want you to see how disgusting the floors and surfaces are. I saw several large bugs crawling around. A terrible cigarette stench permeated the atmosphere. Truly awful.

We started with bao buns, or whisky pork buns, which is one of her birthday dinner requests. I got the Dark Horse ramen and she the Business Lounge ramen. We both liked our ramen, and I think I'd get a ramen with a peanut sesame base next time, but found it a bit rich for the wallet. Still, great service and taste. We got the Chocolate Birthday Cake for dessert and they topped it with a cute candle. Lastly, whiskey spelled without the "e" is Scottish, which is what I learned in Scotland, and with the "e" in Ireland. Also, during Pangaea 4 continents had been merged and when split left 4 types of peat, which is why Scottish whisky is so sought after. I've been schooled about Japanese whisky, but when in Anchorage you can get it one of the whiskys at Ginger. Had my sister try on of the Japanese whiskeys in Scotland as part of her flight. It's a must try. I will come again, and will enjoy it, but just kinda squint at the cost...

This place is cozy, cute, and has an absolutely mind blowing craft cocktail selection that frequently rotates. I am big into mixology & craft cocktails. Sadly the scene in Anchorage for cocktails is pretty bleak. We only have a handful of places with a truly decent bar program. With liquor licenses being absolutely insane to purchase I understand why most restaurants opt for a beer & wine only license, but it still makes me sad. This is a distillery first so they are producing their liquors on site. They honestly don't have to have the cocktail program that they do seeing as they aren't a bar, and yet they are absolutely killing it in the creativity department. On my most recent visit I convinced my new yelp friend, Jasmine, to head over here for some Black Friday libations. She entrusted me to be her first espresso martini drinking partner so I had to deliver. When I saw Anchorage distillery had one on their December cocktail list I knew we had to try it. I was not disappointed. It was an extremely well balanced espresso martini. I also got a cinnamon moonshine cocktail called ugly Christmas sweater. This one had toasted marshmallow & maple syrup. The flavors were a bit more watered down in this one, but I think that's just because it was over shaken. Overall this cocktail program is impressive. The bartenders are knowledgeable & efficient. The space is also cozy. Next time you're looking to try a new spot head on over to Anchorage Distillery!

Food took maybe 10 minutes not long at all. I got the steak frites. Again the fries were not crispy at all. The steak was good, perfectly medium and I couldn't see the sweet bbq sauce on it but could taste it. The dish is not worth $38 though. I'd rather get a baked potato or mashed potato's than fries for it to be that price. Steak was good but nothing amazing. No ad ons for it. It was pre cut into slices.
