Pit Bar & Liquor Store

My cousin hung out here and told me about his good times. He bugged me to come visit him in Alaska but life got in the way. He passed away unexpectedly and I never got to see Alaska from his eyes. I went two years later and was blown away by everything I saw. Would have been better to see it on two wheels with my cuz

There was some confusion when we rolled up at quarter of four: the website said it opened at 2; there was an LED sign blinking, "closed;" a placard set to "open;" an open hours sign indicating they open at 4. We pushed through and found a half mopped bar readyish for business. Friendly service, dive bar atmosphere, but the real winner was the barbecue. Half a pound of smoked pork at $14.99 was the closest we had to cheap eats in a town where a $13 cheeseburger is a bargain. It came with 4 tortillas, two portion cups of sauce and one of mustard, and while one ideally has some kind of vegetable with dinner, it was filling enough for two people and very good. No regrets.

This place feels like home. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a big ole smile and welcome from Angel who is actually a real-life angel probably. It's also a liquor store which is convenient, also convenient is its location. Locals are waaaay too much fun, drinks are good and cheap. Ring the bell to buy a round for the locals y'all! I came up here in 2019 and got hitched, but also to try salmon vodka. Don't be put off, please go here and get a bloody Mary with salmon vodka, you won't regret it! I hope to return this summer! <3

We stayed a short distance away from Pit Bar while we were in Seward. Walked there a couple nights during our stay. Drinks were priced PHENOMENALLY and Mitch made me one of the best long islands I've ever had. Its open real late, they have outdoor seating area, a pool table, and shuffleboard. I wouldnt go to Seward without stopping here.

Nice place. The bartenders weren’t the best. They seemed more interested in flirting with each other than helping guests. I think the one lady had me confused for someone else. I went outside to smoke, came back and she told me I had to leave. I tried asking why and she wouldn’t say. Wouldn’t let me close out my tab, just said I had to go. It was super inconvenient because I don’t live in Seward and she kept my card.
