The Great Alaska Dive Bar Crawl: Darwin’s Theory

Alaska has some of the greatest bar culture in the country: from the characters to locations to free food.  The Alaska Current has tasked local experts Emily Fehrenbacher and Nick Carpenter with the hard job of touring Alaska’s best bars.

Darwins

Location

In the shadow of the artist formerly known as the 4th Avenue Theater, 426 G Street

Vibe

A small bar that is dark enough in the summer to help you feel less manic and light enough in the winter to feel less moody. A place where yellow-bag-carrying tourists can ask freshly off the slope locals “where to get the best crab legs?” 

Specialty Cocktail

“Red Hot shot” (cinnamon liquor with hot sauce)

Free Food

The most famous salty popcorn on this side of the Continental Divide 

What It’s Known For

Being the place you start your night, or the place you end it AND it’s long time all female bartenders

MVP

The guy who tries to sell you wildlife postcards every single time you walk through the doors

Our Favorite Things

They haven’t caved to the trends of the time and installed 15 taps of various local IPAs. They are still rocking cans and bottles only. Never change Darwin’s, we love you.
