Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse

Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse is a downtown institution.  It is the brew pub that all other brew pubs want to be someday.  The combination of food and beer offerings make it one of Anchorage's top choices for a night out with your friends.

As a former downtown resident, I have to admit to that I have probably been to Humpy's at least 100 times over the years.  I can always find a beer that suits my "needs" and the hot wings are a staple...and maybe the best hot wings I have ever had (sorry Anchor Bar of Buffalo).

While I have gotten by on just the hot wings, I have to say that the rest of the menu is also quite good.  On the top of my list of menu favorite are:

  • Halibut and Chips
  • Smoked Salmon Caesar Salad
  • Portobello Mushroom Burger
  • Garden Burger
  • Humpy Burger
  • Halibut Tacos
  • Italian Fetuccini
  • Almost any of the Gourmet Pizzas (avoid the smoke salmon pizza)
  • ...and for dessert, the Berry Crisp
Humpy's is a social hotspot with great food and beer on the evenings.  Check out the Bloody Mary bar on the weekends.  With televisions throughout the bar, it is not a bad place to watch the college or NFL games during football season.  All in all, a great place to go with your friends.


Humpy's:

Address - 610 W 6th Avenue, Anchorage

Phone - 907.276.BEER

Overall Recommendation:  Humpy's can be very crowded and loud, but the pub food is almost always very good, the beer selection is phenomenal, and you will almost always see a friend or two while you are there.
