This place is a local gem! There is the restaurant side that serves incredible food and cocktails, but there is also the theatre side where you can see a movie for cheap while eating from their cafe' style menu, and drinking the locally brewed Broken Tooth beers! Each month, they put out a new first tap brew to correspond with live music shows.

While most people go here for the restaurant side, the secret rests in the bar side! It's easier to get in, the bar has amazing food and a decent tap/wine menu, but the added bonus is that there are great views of the coast.

Locals always talk about how they forget about this place, but that's a good thing! Amazing food and wine list, off the beaten path. It's expensive, but you can also just drop into the bar for a small bite, and glass of vino!

While this is the most popular hike near the city, there is a reason! It's incredible, but in addition to Flattop, the Glen Alps parking/trail head area offers access to many, many other hiking trails in the Chugach.
