Skagway Brewing Company

I looked specifically for a restaurant with gluten free options. The menu listed a few, but after waiting a half hour for a table, I was told they were out of GF buns and could only offer me a salad. Was very disappointed and left needing something hot in my belly.

Nestled in the heart of historic Skagway, Skagway Brewing Company stands as a quintessential stop for those seeking to experience the true essence of Alaska. The space exudes rustic charm with exposed timber beams, warm amber lighting, and vintage photographs that echo the legacy of the Klondike Gold Rush—creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and welcoming. I began the evening with a Double Shovel Appalachian Semi-Dry Cider—crisp, refreshing, and golden-hued like the late afternoon sun over the White Pass. Following that was their signature root beer, smooth and subtly herbal, offering a comforting warmth against the region’s brisk air. The culinary offerings reflect a bold yet thoughtful take on American classics. The house burger was a standout—thick, juicy, and perfectly seared, paired with golden onion rings that were delightfully crisp and aromatic. Another highlight was the grilled salmon, served with greens grown on-site—fresh, vibrant, and a testament to the brewery’s commitment to sustainability. The menu is impressively inclusive, with options for vegetarians and those with gluten sensitivities. The staff were not only attentive and knowledgeable but genuinely warm, adding a personal touch that elevated the entire experience. Skagway Brewing Company doesn’t just serve beer—they serve a slice of Alaska’s soul. From every pour to every plate, and in every smile exchanged, this place captures the heart of the land it calls home.

This was a great stop!! Super friendly staff and on top of all the guests they had. Knowledgeable about food allergies and ingredients, and able to make accommodations. A small bummer that the fryer is not gluten free. Hands down my favorite meal was the crabby Mac and cheese! The fish and chips were the best we’ve ever had. I got the blackened halibut salad and really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and good beer.
