Anchorage


It almost feels like you're in the big city when you spend a sunny evening at the rooftop bar surrounded by Anchorage's downtown buildings. A hidden speakeasy mixes upscale drinks (entry requires a password – note the payphone in the lobby), and there are live musical acts every weekend on the 1st floor. By day, a coffee shop serves up espressos.
