4 Best Nightlife in The Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral Alaska, Alaska

Arkose Brewery

This microbrewery has a flavor portfolio inspired by both Germany and the Pacific Northwest. Expect to find seven fresh-brewed staples as well as one seasonal beer. Have a pint at the bar or fill a growler and head off on an adventure. Due to strict Alaska brewery laws, food can be purchased to accompany your beverage at a food truck parked outside—always sure to be a delicious treat.

Golden Saloon

Hang out with locals and seasonal guides at the only bar in town, right on the main drag. Thursday is open mic night featuring old-favorite singalong songs and tall-tale spoken-word performances. On weekend nights, there's sure to be live music outside on the grass.

Kodiak Island Brewing Co.

Freshly brewed, unfiltered beer is the specialty here, sold in liters, growlers, pigs, and kegs, so you can stock up for your wilderness expedition and avoid beer withdrawal. Drop on by for a couple of pints in the tasting room.

Salty Dawg Saloon

The Spit's infamous Salty Dawg is a tumbledown lighthouse of sorts, sure to be frequented by a carousing fisherman or 20, along with half the tourists in town.
