Squirez Bar — Restaurant in Juneau

We are day drinkers- we like to have a few at a bar, especially if there's a game on, and then go about our day and go to bed early after watching some HGTV. We are not cool, in other words, so I can't speak to the nightlife in this bar at all. But Squirez Rest is a classic local bar during the day and early evening. Plentiful bar seating and table seating. Friendly service. Locals. The Devils Hideaway, the restaurant on premise, is a decent burger joint, and this is a great place to grab a burger and enjoy a beer with a great view of Auke Bay. We live in Douglas, though, so we don't get out here that often. So imagine my surprise when I walked in a few weeks ago and the bartender squealed and said, "Oh my god, you left your scarf here the last time you were here! Let me get it for you!" I didn't realize I'd left it. We'd been in twice so far in 2020. But she remembered me, held onto the scarf for probably a month, and returned it when I walked in the door.

I'm not sure if I'd call this a dive bar, or not, but I kind of loved the atmosphere here. It was laid back and welcoming, something a place like this doesn't always achieve. The food was the star, though, and there was a lot of it. I am very picky about fish & chips, but I'd go back for these any time. I would definitely say this place is worth the drive...

We arrived in the borough of Juneau less than a week ago and have been taking advantage of the days before the cruise ships arrive!

One of our favorite local discoveries, is a local bar called called Squires. It is a sports bar with a good view, t.v. 's, pool tables, cheap drinks and great service. Morgan was our bartendress and she was fantastic; not only making great drinks, but sharing so many ins and outs of life in Juneau.

There is a separate business for food tucked in a corner called The Anchor. The food is fantastic and the owner emulates that warm, welcoming Alaskan spirit that we have...
