Juneau
This is Juneau's upmarket sports bar with two branches (the other one is out at Auke Bay). There are more than a dozen beers on tap (including local microbrews from Juneau and Sitka), fancy-time cocktails and 15 TVs perennially tuned to NFL, NBA or the like.
Happy hour for appetizers is 3pm to 5pm and the food is verging on gourmet.
