This place is super sweet, with great food, drinks and views of the river. Late night food. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is divine. I highly recommend this place for drinks with friends.

Spent 3 weeks on the peninsula, centered in Soldotna. This was by far the friendliest bar I visited, both bartenders and other patrons. It’s also a great venue, nice place with a great view. If your looking for a good place to spend a late evening this os it.

Im not from the Alaska area so im extremely happy someone recommended this place for us to visit. Service was quick and the views were excellent. Definitely going back again if ever in the area. If the weather permits, take advantage of the outdoor seating, it's a gorgeous view.
