    Always something going on at the LOON! Events can vary from comedy shows, to live bands, to movie/dinner nights and such. Never a dull moment at the Loon!

    Dress is casual most of the time.

    • Many choices for nightlife in Fairbanks. Depends on your style. For more rustic alaskan atmosphere I'd reccomend The Howling Dog Saloon in Fox. If you're under 30 and like hiphop, dance, ect I'd go to the Blue Loon off the Parks. The Marlin is pretty groovy with a liberal atmosphere and some live music.
    For a more touristy Alaskan feel check out the Pump House of Chena Pump road. The best choice for over 30 visitors. Two pool tables, nice mix of tunes and upscale yet alaskan.

    Dont dress up for any bar in Fairbanks! You'll probably stand out as "out of state".

    Malemute Saloon: Music and Fun in a Historic Gold Camp

    • Malemute Saloon at the Ester Gold Camp - Fairbanks
    Malemute Saloon at the Ester
    Gold Camp
    by Stephen-KarenConn
    The Malemute Saloon, complete with swinging doors and sawdust floors, was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and is part of the Ester Gold Camp Historic District. Every night from late May to early September the place still comes alive with a professionally produced show featuring songs and stories of early Gold Rush Days. Also featured is poetry from the Bard of the North, Robert Service, who is responsible for the most common perceptions of life during the Great Gold Rush, circa 1898.

    If you enjoy the lively music of the old time banjo and other stringed instruments, sprinkled with dance, song and humor, with your favorite drink, in an authentic setting filled with terrific artifacts, this may be just the place for you to spend an enjoyable evening. Come early and explore the eleven other structures of historic significnace in the Ester Gold Camp complex, including a hotel and restaurant.

    Shows are nightly at 9:00 p.m. Adults - $15.00 and Children (3-12) - $7.50. A full-service bar is open seven days a week from 5:00 p.m. until?

    Pick a clear night, get away from streetlights, let your eyes adjust to the sky and wait for the solar wind. If you get cold, go back inside and try another night :)
    Winter months are best because of super clear skies and long dark nights.

    multiculturalism!!
    by Cossackgrrl
    Don't even bother...drive to Anchorage, or better yet, Vancouver BC or Seattle.

    We have such a 'provincial' nightlife scene
    (pock-marked with flare-ups of twanging, mule-braying Bluegrass that Carhartt hippies find unaccountably irresistable),
    you'll be smashing your beer bottle against the bar and using the jagged neck to slit your own throat in no time.
    You might want to try Ivory Jack's in Goldstream Valley for a slice of Fairbank's own career-alcholic dystopia.
    You will feel grateful for the veritable wealth of culture in your own burg upon returning home.

    Carhartts and 'bunny-boots'. If you are unsure of what bunny-boots actually are, pray to your god you never find out.

    For most people, it is impossible to truly understand what it means to have 24-hours of daylight until they experience it.

    Watching the Northern Lights...

    • Watching the Northern Lights (winter only):
    Drive out the Steese Highway towards Fox - keep heading up teh hill until you reach the top of the hill and take a left on Hagelbarger Rd. There is a pull off that overlooks the city. Best time to watch i think is around 11 pm to 2 am.

    warm - we can get temps down to -50 to -60 below (in DEC thru Feb)

    • Try to see the aurora borealis in the winter. Very few man-made activities at night there, except near the university.

    Be warm!

    • A good place if you'd like to meet some locals. A few nights a week, they feature open mike where you can hear local talent.
