2 Best Nightlife in Girdwood, Anchorage

Girdwood Brewing Company

Tall windows frame the Chugach Mountains and old skis fence the patio at this airy brewery, opened by twin brothers, head brewers, and noted powder hounds Rory and Brett Marenco. Like all Anchorage breweries, Girdwood Brewing Company closes by 8 pm, so make sure to end your adventures on the nearby tides, trails, and mountaintops early enough to grab a pint.

Sitzmark Bar & Grill

Guests can ski straight to the back patio and firepit at this rollicking bar and grill. The Sitz hosts an event nearly every winter night under its spiral-painted ceiling, from game nights and trivia to nationally touring music acts. The bar closes each spring and fall as The Hotel Alyeska shifts between mountain bike and ski seasons; call to confirm hours before visiting.
