Places to Eat in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Red Dog Saloon.

If you want a place that's pure Alaska, and completely packed to the brim during the summer, you have to make a stop at Red Dog Saloon in Juneau. It's an easy place for most visitors to get to, since it's just a short walk away from the cruise ships downtown.

There are huge halibut hanging from the ceiling, bears climbing up the poles, and pretty much any other animal hanging on the walls. It's fun to see just how big these creatures can get...without the fear of being attacked. They also have live music on the weekends, Dave got up and played while my Dad and brother were in town.

The second time Dave and I went, the first time my Dad came to visit, was after cruise ship season (this time last year). We had the place to ourselves and you'd never know how crazy it gets in the summer. My Dad got to experience Red Dog Saloon in full force during his second trip, the last picture above.

I highly recommend the Ninilchik Wrap, with beer battered Alaskan salmon. Delicious. And of course, you have to wash it down with your favorite Alaskan beer on tap, I rotate between the summer and winter...depending on the season.

Places to Eat in Juneau, Alaska ↠ Alaskan Fudge Company.

Alaskan Fudge Company was one of the first shops we stumbled upon in downtown Juneau. I think it was probably the smell that lured me in. It's impossible not to buy something every single time we walk by, thanks to that deliciously sweet chocolate smell that's wafting through the front door and onto the streets.

Our favorite purchases so far are the dark chocolate and coconut candies, dark chocolate with caramel and almond candies, dark chocolate peanut butter cups, and the dark chocolate covered raisins (my favorite, like raisinettes, but better!). Can you tell we love dark chocolate? Theirs is delicious.

...the owner put on a real show for me while I was photographing him making a fresh batch of fudge. Also, please note the "who farted" tshirt in the background. Gotta love it.

If you're stopping in Juneau on a cruise, this is a great place to get a souvenir for friends and family...plus a few snacks for yourself. ;)

As much as I hate to say it, my time in Juneau seems to be dwindling quickly and I still have a list of places to show you guys! Hoping I can get them all in before we go. Is there anywhere I haven't talked about yet that you'd like to see?
