Fodor's Expert Review Pump House Restaurant and Saloon

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.
