Fodor's Expert Review Pump House Restaurant and Saloon

$$$ Fairbanks American

Alongside the Chena River, this upscale 1930s mining pump station–turned–restaurant claims to be the northernmost oyster bar in the world. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a grizzly bear in a glass case stands sentry here over a room full of Victorian-era antiques, and during the summer, be sure to enjoy the midnight sun on the deck out back by the river.
