49th State Brewing

Anchorage


The two-level rooftop deck overlooks Cook Inlet, Sleeping Lady, and Denali in the distance, and it's the place to throw back a cold one on a sunny evening. Inside has a sports-bar feel, but the menu is a bit more creative with specialties such as a yak quesadilla and crab-stuffed jalapeños. There's often live music in the adjacent theater.
