Dive Bars in Seward, Alaska

There are a number of older bars in Seward, Alaska.  I looked up the definition of dive bar and liked the Urban Dictionary's definition...  A well-worn, unglamorous bar, often serving a cheap, simple selection of drinks to a regular clientele.







The Yukon Bar
allows smoking.

Life rings & dollar bills

hang from the ceiling.

The beer is on ice.

The Seward Alehouse went

smoke free two years ago.

The conversation was
fast paced.

We met an Alaskan & a

New Yorker from the

Lake Placid area. 

Eric got an Alaskan White
Ale here.

 

Thorn's Showcase Lounge has

been smoke free since April 1.

Step into the late 1950s, early 1960s
& enjoy the extensive collection of
Jim Beam Bourbon bottles on display.

I imagined seeing Dean Martin,

Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis, Jr.

talking & drinking at a corner table.

None of these bars appeared to be notorious.  All the locals I spoke with described them and if there are sordid stories that go with them, they neglected to share them.
