2 Best Nightlife in Mat-Su Valley and Beyond, The Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral 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.
