Chilkoot Charlies

Chilkoot Charlies brings a bar to Anchorage, Alaska, just steps from University of Alaska Anchorage. Owned and run locally, not by a chain headquartered somewhere else entirely. Small businesses like this are part of what gives Anchorage, Alaska its own identity, separate from every other college town. Regulars come back here for a drink after class or work. No corporate drink menu here - just a bar doing its own thing. A first visit tends to turn into a regular stop, one round at a time. Worth adding to the rotation if you're building a list of Anchorage favorites.
