Bar Touring in Soldotna
Soldotna, Alaska only has a few bars in the area, but it is still possible for visitors to have a mini-bar tour to experience most of the city’s night scenes. Grab your friends, assign a designated driver and visit some of Soldotna’s local bars and enjoy a drink or two!
Bridge Lounge
Start your bar tour at Bridge Lounge and watch the sunset on their outside deck overlooking the Kenai River while you sip a glass of beer or martini. The Bridge Lounge staff and bartenders will supply your drink or food of choice with a smile.
Kenai River Brewing Company
The next stop on your tour would be a 3-minute drive northeast of Bridge Lounge—Kenai River Brewing Company. This restaurant and bar have perfected the art of beer brewing with its varied selection of brews for customers to choose from.
If you do not know what flavor to try, order the Beer Flight which will give you three flavored beers of the day. Taste their chicken wings sauteed in their homemade sauce or a Reuben sandwich with a side of homemade soup.
Buckets Sports Grill
After some beers and snacks at the Kenai River Brewing Company, it is time for a full meal at the Buckets Sports Grill to end a pleasant outing. Locals suggest you try the restaurant’s elk and reindeer dishes, halibut with fries and caesar salad. This bar’s food portions are large enough to get you through the next round of drinks!
St. Elias Brewing Company
After a hearty meal at Buckets, the last bar you will want to visit is St. Elias Brewing Company for a nightcap. They brew their own craft beers, like Indian pale ale, and sell them at very reasonable prices. They also serve non-alcoholic root beers for your designated driver and for those who have consumed enough liquor for the night.
