This is a three story party bar, with the top floor a nice rooftop bar with a small gas FirePit ! The vibe is young 20-40 from what we experienced and had a Latin vibe on the top floor as they were gearing up for a live DJ. The music and vibe was not for the 50+ set! Service and drinks were good. Younger people would likely give this a 5 !

I’m very disappointed with my experience. The bartender at the first bar near the entrance (the blonde guy) was extremely rude and disrespectful. His attitude was unwelcoming and gave off very bad vibes. If you work in customer service, basic courtesy should be expected. Unfortunately, his behavior really affected my overall impression, and I would not want to come back because of that experience.
On the other hand, the bartender at the second bar inside was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, friendly, and had such positive energy. Even though my Aperol wasn’t mixed the way I expected, I truly appreciated her attitude and professionalism — I happily tipped her because she deserved it.
It’s disappointing to see such a big difference in service between two bartenders in the same place. The contrast was striking. While the female bartender made the experience enjoyable, the first bartender’s behavior left a very negative impression on me.

Several levels bar in the heart of anchorage. Its conveniently is located to many cool spots to eat and visit. It’s hip and has a cool roof top. The drinks aren’t too bad. The live music was cool. The vibe was decent. The people seem cool. The bartenders are nice. It’s not a bad spot to visit.

Williwaw was a fun gust of cold wind! The bartenders were super kind and so quick at their craft! I was shocked at how fast my drink was made. The security personnel were also really compassionate and empathetic towards the patrons. There’s four major areas to grab a drink, a big dance floor on the main floor, and a little dance floor on the second floor. Both dance floors had a DJ that were killing their set! We went around 22:00 and there were only a few people dancing but once the hoards of 5’9” claiming to be 6’0” soldiers in their standardized military cuts came in it became a more robust party. Again the security is REALLY kind and empathetic and you can tell they only want you to feel safe and have a good time. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if necessary!

Always a great place to visit, variety of types of entertainment, all people are welcomed with open arms, no drama brewing. The City Boy Burger’s smashed burgers are top notch. Live entertainment is muah!

“Best time of my life” type of venue. Beautiful light show and amazing sound quality. They know what they are doing. Worth checking out. Didn’t eat any food both times i went, perhaps next time.

I love the rooftop in the summer, gives you a wonderful view of Downtown Anchorage. They also have delicious tacos!
They always have fun events and concerts, a pretty amazing range of music! It’s a fun place to hang out with your friends.

Terrible, unskilled, lame
We ordered 3 Yeager bombs and the shots were served in full size plastic cups. Not only was this a terrible look as a bartender is should have been embarrassing. I’ve had a lot of shots in my day and there was absolutely zero chance the Yeager at the bottom of these cups would even filled an actual shot glass.

After trying several different bars in the area and being unable to find a seat, we stumbled across this gem. It was perfect. It reminded us of a lot of the bars back in Australia. The music was great and the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. And I should say, very tolerant of us drunken Aussies. Thanks for a great night!

This spot has a lot going for it, especially if you enjoy a mix of events and a cozy bar atmosphere. The event space is fun, with a small stage and a lively yet intimate vibe. The food downstairs was decent—nothing mind-blowing, but good enough if you’re looking for a bite.
The real highlight, though, is the upstairs bar. While it might not be the hidden speakeasy it once was, it still has that tucked-away charm. The classy woodwork and relaxed atmosphere make it feel like an escape from the usual downtown buzz. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with a drink and just enjoy the vibe.
As for the whiskey selection, it’s solid but not particularly noteworthy. The staff was friendly, which always adds to the experience. My old-fashioned was decent—not exceptional, but enjoyable. Overall, if you’re looking for a laid-back, classy spot for a drink downtown, this is definitely one of the better choices.
