Eddie's Sports Bar — Restaurant in Alaska

About six years ago (specifically, Sept 2017), I was the victim of a humiliating hazing incident at this bar, during which I was robbed.

I had only been twice before (1 and 2 years earlier). I went inside to buy one meal and watch one football game. They insisted that I provide a debit card for “a tab”, which I thought was not really necessary, but I did for the first (and only) time ever. Another patron (presumably a regular) conned me into ringing a bell, and they charged $50 worth of other people’s drinks on my tab. I demanded the money back, which was in no uncertain terms stolen. The waitress working that night and her armed body guard then kicked me out and kept the money. Police told me to go to small claims court, and small claims court turned me away because $50 was “not enough money”. When I appealed to the owner, the owner refused to refund. The police claimed that it was a civil matter because there was “insufficient evidence” to claim it was a criminal matter (although I disagree), and all my attempts to reclaim my stolen money failed up until the limitations ran out. Some people would just “get over it” or move on, but I won’t. I am not over this, and I never will be until it is resolved.

I will devote the entire rest of my life to getting these bullies shut down for the illegal thieves that they are, unless I am refunded $50 and receive an apology. I will not break any laws to do this, but I will otherwise use any means necessary. I will cost them as much business as I can until I am refunded. I imagine my life expectancy is about 40-50 more years, and that is how long I will take...

I went to Eddie's on taco Tuesday with a friend. As I looked around the bar all I could see was a complete lack of respect for it. The son or the person running this bar obviously has zero pride in it. Take a look at the ripped torn old tattered bar stools and chairs. Look at the 40 yr old stained carpet and foul smelling air. Now let's talk about the 4 women's bathroom toilets. 3 filled with waste and toilet paper and the 4th that I was forced to use had a black and yellow ring around the bowl. DISGUSTING! When a bar in Anchorage reaps its rewards off of alcohol consumption, and we know how much that is in Anchorage, you should respect the patrons and put that money back into your establishment. And not in your pocket. So I vow never to patronize this establishment again. There are very clean Mexican restaurants I can have a taco at, any night of the week. Shame...

The few times I've been here had a little trouble with a couple of bartenders attitudes nothing major but kind of a whatever you need you don't know what you're talkin about kind of attitude I guess. I'm a bartender and I understand that customers can be a pain I try not to be a pain but when somebody is standoffish or acts like they know better after you identify that you're in the business is kind of irritating. I try to be an easy customer but sometimes in there it seems like pulling teeth. More like you would expect in a nightclub. Trying to keep people in line rather than spending just a moment with a customer and being a little more personal. I think part of the problem is it's a pretty big place but it's still a neighborhood bar. lots of activity in there if you're into that sort of thing and they do have dancing downstairs I heard never been...
