My father swears by this place and it has been his regular hangout for some years now, so there is that. He is as regular as you can get. My personal experience was a little different, as I wasn't there to drink or anything, but just to visit with family and stuff and what I like about it is that you can order food from the Burger Queen. Yes, apparently there is an arrangement, so get your food and bring it in, no problem. I think that is an excellent idea. My only real complaint is that the joint does look a little tired and there is some kind of toilet leak in the men's bathroom, at least while I was there, but otherwise, if you are no frills and want the cheapest beer on-tap in Ketchikan, this is the place to go! No rowdy bunches either, just locals getting together to chitchat and pass the time while enjoying a cool and tasty beverage.

Carlos and crew are crushing it here! Don't let the name scare you, this is a friendly bunch of good people with kind hearts. I made the Asylum my local watering hole for my week long stay in Ketchikan and the charm of this place was not lost on me. I was greeted with a duck fart shot and lots of laughs and good conversations upon my arrival and wasn't ever really ready to leave. Great beer selection at great prices in a fun-filled environment. The building is two stories with outdoor seating on both levels, great for those warmer summer days. Food is ordered from Burger Queen next door, don't sleep on that opportunity; great charbroiled burgers, awesome onion rings, and more friendly neighbors to support. 10/10 would recommend.

One of the bars we always go to when we are in Ketchikan before departing for our fishing trip. They have amazing bloody Mary’s, make it a double, Golden Tee and home to the Duck Fart shot. Just try it at least once. They have outdoor seating are next Burger Queen. The only bad thing I have to say about this place are the gnats or “no see’ums” that fly around the bar. They are there every year I have gone.

Great service and selection of local beer on draft. The price for a draft beer was great, $3.50, per glass. Nice little place close to the dock. Wife said the onion rings were good. Had great service from the bartender Kellie, she was awesome. Also talked to Carlos and he was funny and energetic. Great small little place, a must go.

The best find in Ketchikan, Alaska! Jack Nicholson’s face in the window grabbed our attention but the name drew us in! Across the street from the cruise ship dock #3. The owner made us feel like family the moment we walked in. Loads of laughs and great drinks. Excellent Bloody Mary but don’t leave without trying a duck fart! 😁
