The Lower 48 have created myths and legends about Alaska.Things in Alaska are bigger, colder, wilder, fiercer, more rugged, more independent, more resourceful, to name just a few of the qualities that define the Alaska myth. However, the one that says Alaskan bars stand head and shoulders above bars anywhere else just might be true.When author Doug Vandegraft moved to Alaska in 1983 after graduating college, he found himself in the wild-west style bar scene in Anchorage.Nearly two decades later, he officially began conducting research on Alaskan bars that he found as unique as everyone believed.A Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska details the rich history and atmosphere of remarkable, one-of-a-kind Alaskan bars, some of which have been around since the end of Prohibition in 1933. These historic establishments have become legendary in their communities and beyond as places to socialize, meet friends, come in from the cold, and in some cases, provide a temporary escape from dangerous occupations such as commercial fishing, logging, and mining.Despite strict laws regarding sale and consumption, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Alaska’s bars have survived, remained in operation and are notorious as ever.
