Best Restaurant in town. This is a family run business and is a local favorite. Meals are individually prepared and bar has the largest selection of spirits I have ever seen. Highly recommended.

One of the oldest bar in Downtown Anchorage. The Old Park Strip was the Airstrip where aviator would take off and land serving the Alaska Bush communities. Many Aviators would stop by this bar and still do today.
Great place for French onion soup or French Dip sandwiches while walking around downtown.
