My new Van's bar buddies!

This is a small dive bar but I had a great time. Although they did not have the beer I like to drink, I tried some new ones. The bartender was nice. They had a popcorn maker that made me happy!

WUT?! How am I the first to get this first? You've probably driven by Van's a bunch of times and not even noticed it. It's the small bar next to Lucky Wishbone. It used to be called something else. The name is pretty straight-forward: this is a dive bar. Not the kind that has been in Anchorage for years, the site of stabbings and seedy dealings. Nope, this place just opened and was remodeled to look...exactly like one of those places. It looks like it's been here for a long time. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's not dirty. It just has the look of an Alaskan bar that's been sitting here since before I was born. We stopped in for a drink to check the place out. They have a few taps, mostly domestics. (they had an IPA though, so don't worry) My friends got margaritas which are apparently one of their specialties. Definitely check 'em out if you're in the neighborhood!

See all

Went here for live Rock music and was not disappointed. It's loud and crowded but a fun place, even for a "mature" couple.

They don't charge a cover, cheaper drinks than most of downtown and free popcorn.
