Favorite Bars in Ketchikan

There are definitely an abundance of bars in Ketchikan and you will be sure to find one that fits exactly what you are looking for. We have everything from wine bars to something similar to the "fine" establishment portrayed in the movie Road House with Patrick Swayze.

If you are looking for a smoke free place where you can grab a quick drink in relative comfort, I would recommend the following: 1) New York Cafe (beer and wine only); 2) Fat Stan's; or 3) Red Snapper. Out of these three, my favorite is the New York. It is across the street from Thomas Basin boat harbor and has plenty of room to sit down at a table.

Other options in this category would probably include Steamer's, Annabelle's, Cape Fox Lodge. Steamer's and Cape Fox have great views and offer food as well. Annabelle's and Steamer's are under the same ownership. They both serve 50oz. or 100oz. beer tubes (really cool).

Also, if smoke doesn't bother you, the Arctic Bar is located close to the tunnel in downtown and has a cool deck overlooking the water and cruise ship docks.

There are also plenty of other interesting little bars that you will find around downtown. I encourage you to walk around and find a place that suits your interests!
