Midnite Mine — Restaurant in Fairbanks

If you're looking for the place that perfectly encapsulates the rugged charm of Fairbanks, Midnite Mine is the spot you're looking for. Located downtown, this iconic dive bar has been a local institution for over 50 years, and its brewery offshoot—founded in 2017—continues the tradition of serving up satisfying experiences.

Unfortunately for us, we were only able to try the Midnite Mine Golden Ale as the brewery was in the process of migration to their new stand alone home. The beer itself was crisp and approachable, unpretentious and well crafted. It’s the kind of beer that makes you feel right at home in the mines upstairs bar, or the legendary dive bar downstairs. Seriously though, don't forget to head down into the basement bar that has this eccentric, unmatched atmosphere that is equal parts quirky...

Top dive bar in downtown Fairbanks. Google brought me here as i was in the mood for a night cap. The basement level bar has pool tables & darts-cash only! The upstairs bar is chill & you may pay by card. Logan is the best local bartender i've met in FBX. He is personable & engaging with patrons. He made a fantastic Blood Orange Old Fashioned, which are rare to come by at bars. Be frank with your taste profile & they can customize to make it work. Cozy & laid back atmosphere. The interiors & decor give an old timey & industrial vibe. As a visitor from out of state, i felt instantly welcomed! They play great music: mostly classic rock & some...

Gotta LOVE the Midnight Mine. The bartenders are amazing, so fun they love to visit when its slower and keep you entertained. When its busy they bust their butts keeping drinks coming to make sure everyone has fun. Its underground basement level which is so awesome, I love the waterfall, playing darts and pool. They have done some upgrades upstairs and made it look amazing. Gotta check out the Mine if you haven't and if you haven't been in awhile you gotta go back. Such a fun, inviting neighborhood bar with many regulars that make you feel welcome. Thank you Midnight Mine I always have a GREAT time...
