Craft beer meets craft food at 49th State Brewing Company. 49th State brings recipes perfected in the shadow of Denali at their Healy outfit to local digs: an Anchorage brewpub.

The restaurant pours its soul into beer and the best of Alaska into the menu. House-made hefeweizen, inspired IPAs, and peerless pilsners flow from the taps. They’re not flowing very far either; beer is brewed on site. And it’s hard to go wrong when the first brewing ingredient is water from a glacier. Known for sourcing Alaska meats and produce, the menu is perfect for a filling meal, light lunch, or snack to balance what’s in the glass.

Sip a Solstice IPA, soak in the sun, and take in the view. On a clear day you can see Denali from the deck. There’s tons to toast in this downtown favorite, and there’s more to celebrate when the new tasting room opens in fall 2019!

Alaskans know seafood and Bridge Seafood Restaurant stands alone. Spanning one of Alaska’s most popular sport fisheries, Ship Creek, Bridge’s connection to locally caught salmon is readily apparent. Open seasonally from the day after Memorial Day to Aug. 31, guests dine on fresh Alaska seafood as anglers cast for their own dinner in the waters of the downtown creek below.

Perched atop the Hotel Captain Cook, Crow’s Nest elevates cuisine to heights rivaled only by the restaurant’s 360-degree views of the city, inlet, and mountains. With a focus on French and new American cuisine and access to the freshest foods of Alaska, Crow’s Nest stands tall in the vanguard of fine dining.

Fresh oysters, salmon crudo, and scallop ceviche boast sophisticated flavors right from the start. King salmon alongside roasted sunchokes, bison filet with a Sitka spruce gremolata, halibut with sweetcorn puree: the Crow’s Nest brings a savory simplicity to refined dining. And the sommelier dips into the hotel’s 10,000-bottle wine cellar for the perfect pairing. The lounge is a draw for Alaska’s movers and shakers, and a perfect spot for a cocktail.

Cap the evening with bananas Foster flambéed tableside, or the theatrical panache of the café diablo coffee service.

The names of explorers feature prominently in Anchorage. Captain James Cook’s name graces the body of water flanking the coast of the city and one of the city’s finest hotels. Even Cook’s cohorts gained a level of fame; Fletcher Christian may be best known for the mutiny on the Bounty, but in Anchorage his name is now synonymous with great food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Fletcher’s restaurant offers smart appetizers, gourmet pizzas, and hearty dishes that would quell any uprising.

Unwind in the welcoming warmth of an English-style pub.

A maritime influence extends beyond the restaurant’s name to favorite dishes like the seasonal fresh fish piccata and the grilled prawn risotto. However, you’d be missing out if you skipped over the pizzas and paninis on the menu.

Factor in wine by the glass, fresh microbrews, and cognac, and even famous adventurers will delay their next voyage for another taste.

Tastes aren’t landlocked though, there are plenty of mouthwatering seafood dishes, including the seafood jambalaya made with scallops, prawns, and clams.

Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.

Nursery rhymes aside, this is one place you’ll wish you could eat it all. From the first bite to the last morsel, Jack Sprat’s emphasis on seasonal ingredients, organic local produce, and fresh seafood plays out in amazing meals inspired by cuisines from around the world. Locally sourced mussels are steamed in a flavorful bouillabaisse and finished with king crab. Heaps of sprouts and fresh pork top a bibimbap with the soul of Seoul, Korea. Local purple potatoes pair beautifully with the rib-eye steak.

Dinner is the main event, but liter draught beers and a selection of cocktails and espresso drinks are perfect après adventure. The chopped salad, vegan nachos, and the bacon blue burger compete for attention on the weekend lunch menu. The surrounding Chugach Mountains tower over the building, but “fat and lean world cuisine” has Jack Sprat standing tall.

The bite-sized boulangerie is a tiny embassy of the city’s best known French bakery, Paris Café. The modest storefront adds a full spread of espresso drinks to an impressive case of pastries.

Sandwiches fill fresh baguettes and croissants with meats and cheeses, quiches wrap fluffy eggs and fresh ingredients into flaky pie crust. Grab a loaf to fuel your adventures; a few bites in the backcountry could make the Alaska countryside feel more like the French Alps.

Midnight Sun Cafe has built a community of dedicated regulars, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or an eye-opening sip. The fruit & yogurt parfait with house-made granola or a breakfast croissant can turn even the groggiest individual into a morning person. Daily espresso and coffee specials are poured using K Bay Coffee from Homer, Alaska. Grab a cup to go or stay and hang out.

When lunchtime rolls around, soups are prepared from scratch, sandwiches are built to order, and salads are made fresh.

With soups from scratch, fresh veggies, and wonderful coffee, Moose A’La Mode’s eclectic flair makes it a welcome respite on a day downtown.

Paninis like the turkey & pepper jack or ham & brie put toasted goodness between two slices of bread. With hot and delectable soups, classic deli sandwiches, and plenty of fresh salads, you can linger in the cozy cafe or grab it to go.

Breakfast burritos, English muffin sandwiches, and yogurt parfaits mean there’s no reason to delay a visit until midday.

The cafe pours a surprisingly deep drink menu, serving Alaskaroasted K Bay Coffee as well as specialty loose-leaf teas.

Of course, “à la mode” indicates a dish served with ice cream, and it’s more than a name here. If your preferred pick-me-up comes frozen, a long freezer case is sure to please. Scoop up a favorite ice cream flavor or one of the electric-colored sherbets.

Anchorage Daily News readers voted Spenard Roadhouse home of the “Best Bartender” and “Best Waitstaff”.

Tequila 61° serves up a modern take on time-tested dishes from south of the border, served north of expectations. Alaska seafood or prime cuts of meat are all uniquely spiced to evoke the true taste of Mexico, served in a charmingly rustic and handcrafted atmosphere.

This is Mexican food the way it should be: subtly sweet and spicy sauces; salty cotija cheese; pepper-fueled heat.

Try the grilled Alaska king crab – you’ve never had king crab quite like this! Or savor the fajita molcajete, a twist on an age-old cooking method and served in a volcanic stone bowl. There’s plenty of fresh guacamole to share, and artful desserts to top it all off.

A full-service bar features craft cocktails and margaritas flavored with hibiscus, basil, ginger, and fresh-squeezed lime juice. Or select from featured wines, local craft beers, small batch spirits, and fine sipping tequilas and mezcal.

Local favorites: jicama shrimp tacos, fajita molcajete, el diablo cocktail

LOCAL SIPS Craft beer is big in Alaska. Some say it’s Alaskans love of a good time. Brewers will swear our beer scene owes to the best water in the world, a key ingredient of every recipe. With 12 breweries in Anchorage and many other unique Alaska beers on tap around the city, the beers of the Last Frontier are just a sip away.

From 49th State Powerline Pass Pale Ale to Turnagain Brewing Homesteader Saison, no one style holds sway in Anchorage. You’ll find everything from hoppy IPAs to chocolate-velvety stouts. Crisp lagers and sweet ciders refresh under the midnight sun, and hearty ales and dark porters warm winter days.

Anchorage brewers are an innovative bunch, so after trying the flagship brew, ask about what’s new. There’s always a fresh recipe in the works, another wild idea to test out. You’ll even find a few tinkering with Alaska ingredients like local barley, wild berries, or spruce tips.

Craft brewing in Anchorage got going in the 90s, but really took off in the last few years, with master brewers, ambitious newcomers, and homebrew mad scientists all taking the leap to open new places. They may have started for different reasons, but each serves Alaska’s love of a good time shared with friends old and new. Cheers!

Double Shovel Cider Company is Alaska’s first micro-cidery. It adds something new to Anchorage’s brew scene, although pressing fruit to make refreshing drinks is as American as apple…cider!

Hand-picked Alaska and Washington apples, berries, and syrups combine for ingenious ciders. Flagship Forget-Me-Hopped cider and other staples already have an enthusiastic following, and a visit to their chic taproom might mean an encounter with a small batch. Cranberry, rose hips, and even jalapeño are just a few surprise ingredients. Can’t choose? Opt for a flight and sample a few.

The Double Shovel tasting room hosts special events, and a roster of visiting food trucks means plenty of plates to go with a glass. You can also pick up cans and fill a growler to go. With hand-crafted ciders loaded with Alaska ingredients, you’d be hard pressed to find a more inviting place to find a new taste.

Local favorites: Forget-Me-Hopped, Extra-Dry, Pineapple

LOCAL VIBES Anchorage entertains with shows sure to surprise and productions to rival those of cities in the Lower 48. Fall through spring, the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts books the best of Broadway and beyond. Locales feature headlining acts ranging from the obscure to the celebrated. Community theatrical performances showcase home-grown talent in cozy venues year-round.

Throughout the year, catch traveling performers, comedy shows, and live music at numerous nightclubs, pubs, and coffeehouses. Celtic, blues, acoustic, R&B, and bluegrass, among others, resonate throughout the city where the scene is as diverse as the Alaska landscape.

Entertainment spills into the streets during the long summer days. Locals and visitors alike explore the popular outdoor markets and festivals, eclectic crafts and art fairs are aplenty, and outdoor concerts get your toes tapping and fingers snapping. Under the bright midnight sun, this northern city hosts fun activities that stretch late into the evening.

Sports fans can catch the big game on a personal table TV or one of the many large flat screens while testing their taste buds on five-alarm hot wings. Or drop the remote and pick up some tickets; throughout the year, Anchorage boasts two semi-pro baseball teams, club-style boxing, and the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves.

The voices of Alaska’s soldiers, sailors, airmen,

Marines, and Coast Guardsmen are at the heart of the Alaska Veterans Museum. From the first Anchorage soldiers who marched off to the trenches of Europe after the city’s founding in 1915, to the men and women of the Alaska Territorial Guard, and on to modern day service members, Alaska is a unique post.

In what other military museum would World War II vehicle models include both a sprawling aircraft carrier and a finely crafted dogsled like those used on Alaska patrols after the Pearl Harbor attack? All for only $3.

The uniforms on display range from the garb doughboys donned “Over There” to contemporary Class A uniforms, but also include the seal skin mukluks and animal hide mittens of Major Marston’s “Tundra Army”. Through these items, intimate snapshots of camp life and the words of individuals serving in Alaska, this small museum shows the huge service and sacrifices of military men and women.

TAKE HOME THE TASTE The meal may end, but there’s more to look forward to than an after-dinner mint. The flavors of Anchorage travel well. Here are five of the best ways to savor bites of Alaska, even at home.

Flying fish – Ever seen a salmon soar? Local markets and processors can ship Alaska seafood right to your door. Pack up your catch, or select from the catch of the day.

Tree treats – Maple may get the glory elsewhere, but Alaskans tap birch trees for syrup. This caramel-flavored concoction goes on more than pancakes.

Meat me in Anchorage – Hot dog carts are an Anchorage staple, and reindeer sausage packed to go is an easy item to take home. You’ll surprise a few friends with this flavor straight from Alaska.

Local buzz – Anchorage leads the nation in coffee spots per capita, from driveup huts to quaint cafes. Coffee culture is alive and well, and local roasters offer up beans ready to help you impart the coffee-shop vibe to your kitchen counter.

Growlers and cans – Canned beer packs light and travels well, so locals love to take it along on outdoor adventures. Those same characteristics make canned Anchorage brews easy to pack up no matter your destination. There’s even a spot inside security in the Anchorage airport filling growlers to go.
