Food Scene
Located directly across the street, If you want a fast simple homestyle burger, this is the place. I've been eating Jim burgers since before I could see over the counter and I often pop in for a quick lunch when working at the property. It has been around for DECADES!

The Glacier Brewhouse is one of my favorite downtown restaurants. Great food, great atmosphere, and they offer several craft beers brewed right on site. I love their Brewhouse Blonde, one of my local favorites!

Sunday mornings the put on a large Bloody Mary bar in the bar with all the toppings and hot sauces you could ever want. It's a good time!

Sightseeing
Stop into the little log cabin visitor's center so start your Alaskan adventure off right!
Also, right outside the cabin on F St is the Downtown Trolley Tours. Look for a guy wearing a conductor's hat. This is a fun little informational trolley ride and tour that runs you around downtown Anchorage and out to Earthquake Park. Trolleys run every 30-60 minutes typically in the summer. Possibly a good activity for a rainy day when you want to stay dry.

Drinks & Nightlife
Long time downtown bar, great scallops and pasta! Sample the "do not eat" block of cheese, it is a downtown staple! This was my "go to place" for a Friday night out to catch up with the boys.

This is the largest restaurant in Anchorage by square footage. It features arguably the best outdoor patio space in all of Anchorage with views of the inlet and port of Alaska, as well as a great food menu. And of course, there's the BEERS! Great home brewed root beer as well for those looking for a non-alcoholic option.

Great alternative lifestyle neighborhood bar where all open minds are welcome and the outdoor patio is a fantastic hidden gem in downtown. PLUS, they are located directly across the street from the Cottages! In the summer I frequently pop in and visit with the owners and enjoy a cold beer after a long day of work at the Cottages.
