Rocket Science Brewery - Anchorage

Definitely worth the wait to get in. We were there for lunch on a sunny day and the rooftop was really nice. We even saw Denali. The beer was our group's favorite of the Alaska beers they tried on our trip. Our food was all fantastic. I had been waiting on this trip to splurge on king crab and I'm so glad I had it here. It's expensive but it was delicious.

Heidi was our waitress and she was awesome! She was so attentive, informative, and lovely to have as our waitress. Our food was fabulous as well. We had the crab artichoke dip as an appetizer. Then we had the Mac and cheese with the seafood blend and the salmon poke bowl. Definitely a recommendation for anyone traveling to Anchorage for both the food and the service!!

We went here on Sunday evening (6:45pm) and it was an hour wait without a reservation. We scored a table in the bar and sat. Great beer selections-Alaskaveza is an incredible lager with a peppery and refreshing taste. We watched the kitchen bring out food nonstop for 2 hours. We enjoyed chowder and an Alaska Meat Lovers pizza… reindeer and elk with peppers and Buffalo mozzarella, yum! Service was quick and friendly. When in Anchorage, this is the place for a great relaxing meal!

Popped in here for a quick beer as a Floridian tourist thinking this was another fantastic brewery, when I was extremely impressed with the bourbon selection. Wow! The vibe, the decor, the service, was all exceeding my expectations from the moment I walked in! Let's talk about my old fashioned. Picking any top shelf bourbon will make anything better, but holy smokes, this was the most amazing crafted cocktail I've EVER had, and I have had quite the plethora of fun beverages over the years. The key is not the physical smoke that most bars put on top of the drink, but I found out they freshly smoke the simple syrup instead, which keeps the smokiness intact throughout your entire old fashioned drinking experience. I asked for 2 cherries, and the bartender smiled and gracefully met my request. These are high quality, real cherries, so delicious! Whew! I wish I lived in Anchorage to experience this in every bourbon on the menu, but if you live here, so lucky, if you don't, go out of your way to stop here. I didn't even have a chance to enjoy any of their amazing food because I was so blown away by my drink.

Alaska, I love you snow damn much!!! Anchorage is literally hiding the best food and beers in this amazing sleepy place tucked against the water. You gotta know to know!!! The locals are smart enough to avoid it during tourist waves, but they must hate not being able to get a Crabby Grilled Cheese whenever they want. You read that right. They have a Crab stuffed Grilled cheese that comes with the seafood chowder to dunk… which was amazing on its own. We also did the Salmon BLT with a side of the chowder and shared the amazing seasoned fries. HUGE FAN. They have quite a large collection of their own local beers, but some taps were having issues, so if you are a draft purist ask before you get your hopes up. They have a couple incredible expensive rare bottles (that are worth every penny in the to-go fridge storage by the gift shop, so I would check that out on the way out the door. Pro tip. Floor 1 is free-for-all seating, BUT If you sit at the bar, you get a free side of the incredible Carmel popcorn (that has a spicy finish! … If you sit at a table bar top, it’s a charge to indulge.
