Midnite Mine

Fairbanks


One of the best bonuses of this basement-level dive, with its dusty floors, beardy clientele, strong drinks and sports on the TV, is its downtown location. Had a few overly hopped Northwest IPAs? Walk your butt home from the Mine. Or stay for another – it's always a scene inside.
