B & B Bar: The Oldest
Kodiak also claims the oldest bar in Alaska near the waterfront, none other than the B & B Bar, another nondescript building with limited spirit in its outward appearance. Inside (besides verifying the 1906 license on the righthand wall) you can throw darts, play pool or belly up to the bar with the other wastrels and misfits, call for a $4 can of beer, and listen to the latest gossip on town life. At the time of my visit, the witch/barmaid boasted having seen a bear along the Pasagshak road, while the others decried the local radio "selling hour," which VT member kaloz likened to "radio Ebay." 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.
