Bar & Food Option - ANC
Having lived in ANC for a short stint, here is a suggestion for a place to go: The Peanut Farm on Int'l Airport and Old Seward. It's a taxi ride, but taxi service in ANC is good and not too expensive. The Peanut Farm is a big sports bar. It has a good variety of beer and drinks and good bar food. The staff is friendly (I've been many times). After a couple of brewskis and dinner, it's a short walk (less than 1/3 block) to Anchorage's best known "performing arts" venue. There is always a taxi queue at said venue for the trip back to the hotel.

I was at the Polar Bar tonight to watch the game witow couple of my fellow cargo pals and at half time two F-street bar tenders walked in and brought our table 2 pitchers of there finest beer (Bud Light). They said that not all F-street bar tenders were *****es and to come back. Sounds like they are missing the business. Just thought you would want to know.
'flyingtom'? I think this is Danny, throwing chum in the water to lure cheap pilots back into the lion's den for a through thrashing.

Many years ago they were reasonable. Then seemingly overnight they literally doubled. But if one is even contemplating driving after a couple, don't even think about it, as the APD is incredibly hard core regarding DUI. As an alternative, you can always take the magical mystery city bus tour. If you're feeling even remotely down, a ride on the ANC city bus will make you feel like a million bucks.

Or just walk by the bus station downtown. That works just as well !
