 B & B Bar (small like Diamond
Jim's) by mrclay2000
Dress is casual, and the more informal the better. You would occasion a number of hard glares from the roughened crowd who frequent this bar. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: 326 Shelikof StPhone: (907) 486-3575Directions: near St Paul's harbor near the Best Western Motel (hillside above)

 Aurora by MTrav
Theres no cover charge and you can stay all night. (byob)
Unfortunately for most visitors to Alaska, it is unlikely that you will see the lights between May and August, due to the lack of darkness.
Its worth enduring a little cold to see the northern lights. Generally the further north, the better the chance of seeing the Aurora. The best shows, at least in interior Alaska, seem to be in the spring and fall.
If youre lucky enough to find yourself in Alaska on a clear dark night, drive a few miles away from the city lights, and you may see a show you wont ever forget.

Relaxed, laid back...some have signs that say "shirt and shoes required" but for god's sake, it's Alaska. How often can you wander around not fully clothed without freezing? Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: AlaskaDirections: Lots of choices in Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks. Quite a few in Palmer, Wasilla, Sitka, Ketchikan, Haines and Skagway. Small towns have "the bar"

Captain Bartlett's has an Alaskan theme to it, wood bar, walls, etc. Throw Peanut shells on the ground. Ivory Jacks has good food, open mike night, live bands, and more of a 'cabin' people type crowd. It's a pretty fun place to meet locals. The Marlin had a fire 2 years ago and just reopened. I don't know what it's like now, but it used to be one happening place. It was smoke-free, but I am not sure if it is anymore. They get live music there also. It used to have outdoor seeting. The Blue Loon has dancing and bar and movie theater, outdoor concerts in the summer. The Pumphouse is a nice restaraunt and the bar is really cool with great atmosphere.
None. Jeans, overalls, dresses, shorts, whatever goes in Fairbanks.

 Boozin it up at the Crow's
Nest Lounge by karenincalifornia
This picture was taken in the ship's nightclub called the Crow's Nest. It was at the top of the ship at the bow, so it was the perfect place to come for a fantastic view of where we were going. These lounge chairs were in hot demand, too, so if we didn't get there by 7:30 pm, we were out of luck and had to sit at regular chairs.
The dance floor is in the background in this photo. The same band played every night and they let us know at the beginning of the cruise that they would take all requests and in fact wanted them. So, one evening when I thought the music was too slow, I asked them to play "All I Wanna To Do" by Sheryl Crow. They said they couldn't because they were permitted only to play lounge music until 9:30 pm, but they would play it if we came back after that. We did...and we didn't even have to ask. When they saw us return, they played the song. I was impressed!
Then, later that night, I asked them if they could play Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5", a favorite of mine. They said "Sorry, we don't play that one."
So, you can put in requests, but they have to be at the right hour and you have to ask for the right song.
Don't order a margarita. It was ghastly. It was poured into a huge tumbler with very little tequila, no Cointreau that I could tast and lots of sweet and sour and 7up. Yuck. The bartender definitely didn't know how to make a margarita. Or maybe he had to follow corporate directives. After that experience, I stuck with wine. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub

 Piano bar on cruise ship by karenincalifornia
We stopped by briefly. I haven't spent much time in piano bars, so I was kind of expecting something like Bill Murray's lounge lizard act, but the Statendam's piano player wasn't that funny -- or that obscene. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub
