Alaska's very own Kombucha taproom! They also have several beers on tap. My favorite is the Mandy Mint kombucha and the red wine sangria with Blueberry Mary Kombucha. You can also order various poke bowls and appetizers. On many nights this place features local bands.

If you like Champagne and oysters, this is the place to go! It's hidden and small; kind of a little local secret. If you buy a full bottle of Champagne, ask your server to open it with a sword!

Great place to start a walk on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. Absolutely stunning sunsets. In the winter you can skate-ski or fat-tire bike from here. You can also go ice-skating on the lake. In the summer it's a great spot to bird-watch or go paddle-boarding.

Soo... This is the second location for the ever-so-popular Moose's tooth. There is a bar and a restaurant, but also there is a movie theatre, where you can watch a movie AND eat a delicious pizza or another dish of your choice. They also serve beer, wine, and margaritas in the movie theatre. Check the movie listings online. Tickets for the movie are usually $4.

In the summer it's a great place for birdwatching and you can see salmon swimming in the water. If you are heading to Alyeska Resort, or up to Fairbanks, this is a great quick stop before leaving Anchorage.

Potter Marsh, at the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, is an ideal break from Anchorage for birders and other wildlife viewers. From the Seward Highway just before the left turn into the Potter Marsh parking lot, you are treated to a stunning view of Turnagain Arm. A wooden boardwalk winds 1,550 feet from the parking area through the marsh and across watery openings and sedges, perfect habitat for a rich variety of birds.
