Food scene

A local favorite, this is a must stop place when in Anchorage. Besides the yummy food, the beer is pretty good too. In the Summer take advantage of their 2-tier outdoor balcony to take in the great weather and people watch.

Great Breweries

If youre a fan of Cider this place is for you. Kind of a locals secret, but you wont regret your visit. My favorite is the Arctic Rose. Food trucks are usually outside to grab a bite too!

City advice

Getting around

You'll definitely need a rental car

Since rental cars are so pricey, I would check Turo.com they are private rentals from owners and a lot more reasonable than big rental companies.
