Girdwood Brewing & Local Bars: Craft Beer & Nightlife

After a day of exploring Girdwood's trails and ski slopes, there's no better way to unwind than with a cold, locally brewed beer or a classic Alaskan cocktail at the town's legendary watering holes.

Girdwood Brewing Company: Local Craft Beer

Girdwood Brewing Company is the community's premier gathering place. This rustic, timber-frame taproom features fire pits, ski-chair swings, and a rotating list of hazy IPAs, stouts, and pilsners brewed with pure glacial run-off. A rotating roster of local food trucks sits parked outside daily.

The Sitzmark Bar & Grill: Historic Après-Ski

The Sitzmark is a legendary Alaskan music venue and pub located at the base of Mount Alyeska. Known for its wood-fired interior, live bluegrass, rock, and folk bands, and high-energy atmosphere, it is the ultimate après-ski destination.

Neighborhood Pubs & Dive Bars

For a relaxed vibe, Chair 5 offers a massive selection of draft beers, specialty cocktails, and a deep collection of tequilas. It's the perfect spot to swap stories with local residents over a game of pool.
