About This Place

Situated in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska, Glacier Brewhouse is a vibrant bar and grill, brewery, brewpub, and seafood restaurant that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Alaskan dining with a handcrafted twist. This dynamic hotspot offers a diverse culinary experience that marries the freshest local seafood with expertly brewed house beers, making it a must-visit for anyone eager to savor true Alaskan flavors in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Step inside Glacier Brewhouse and you are immediately greeted by the inviting aroma of alder wood grilled dishes and freshly baked rosemary bread, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The menu is a celebration of Alaska’s bounty: from the signature Alaskan King Crab Legs, succulent and sweet, to the soul-warming Hearty Alaska Seafood Chowder that delivers a rich, velvety taste with every spoonful. Those with a penchant for perfectly seasoned fish will find delight in the All in Fish and Chips or the elegant Pepper Seared Ahi, dishes that marry crisp textures with fresh, oceanic flavors.

Glacier Brewhouse also shines through its house-brewed beers, with offerings like the Blonde Ale—light, crisp, with a mild cascade hop aroma and a smooth creamy finish—and a malty Amber Ale that features nuanced hints of chocolate and caramel. The IPA Sampler invites patrons to explore a spectrum of hop-forward flavors, ideal for pairing with the rich flavors of seafood fettuccine or the unforgettable Chili Lime Shrimp Salad.

The dining experience here goes beyond superb food and drink. Customers like Christian Smallwood have lauded the attentive and personable service, noting how accommodating the staff are—especially for those with dietary preferences like gluten-free options that glide effortlessly onto the palate, as with their gluten-free pasta alternative. The thoughtful service extends to shared plates, where Manasa Dontineni admired how a single main course was artfully split to satisfy both guests equally, complemented perfectly by the rustic sweetness of fig and chive butter with freshly baked bread.

The combination of locally inspired dishes and craft beers creates a comforting yet elevated atmosphere that resonates with both residents and visitors. William Lynch’s delight in the seafood scramble paired with cheesy grits paints a picture of hearty, satisfying comfort food, whereas Sergey Logvin’s praise of the flawlessly cooked halibut and memorable crispy potatoes underscores the meticulous care and freshness that define the menu.

Whether you’re here after a long day exploring Anchorage or just looking for a cozy spot to enjoy world-class seafood alongside innovative brews, Glacier Brewhouse delivers an experience rich with flavor, warmth, and genuine hospitality. With a menu that tempts you at every turn—from the indulgent World Famous Bread Pudding to a perfectly grilled Alder Wood Ribeye—this is more than a meal; it’s a heartfelt celebration of Alaska’s culinary gems.

    What a wonderful experience! Went to the Brewhouse after Mass and it was an amazing time. The waiter was on point and super friendly. I am terrible with names but the waiter had dark blonde hair and a mustache. The food was amazing especially for being gluten free. I would almost say order the gluten free version over the regular one which uses fettuccine. The gluten free pasta seems to keep a lot of the sauce with it which makes it a burst of flavor. The ribs are good, not my favorite sauce but if you scrape off the excess on them, then I think they are fantastic ribs. Overall I had a wonderful time with the family and it was a great venue for it. This is honestly one of the best restaurants in Anchorage and I’ve been to almost all of them. Thank you so much, we will be coming again for sure.

    Based on a trolley tour guide recommendation, we stopped in for lunch. An awesome beer selection and a full bar were a nice surprise. We sat at the bar and Heather provided excellent service. She was so pleasant and helpful with menu selections. We started with the calamari (steaks not rings); I had grilled salmon and husband chose shrimp & grits. There were no disappointments with any of our selections.

    I came in hungry and left the place with heart & tummy full . Food was really great, that’s straight to my heart. We ordered only one main course for me & hubs and they brought it split which we both loved the thought of service! Really impressive!! The sweet fig and Chive butter with rustic bread is the best we had here must try.

    We visited this place twice during our trip to Anchorage, and honestly — it’s the best spot in all of Alaska! The food is absolutely outstanding — the halibut is next-level delicious, perfectly cooked and fresh as it gets. The beer selection is on fire , and the crispy potatoes are simply amazing — the kind of side dish you actually remember! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels authentic Alaskan. It’s the kind of restaurant where you walk out smiling and already planning to come back. I give it my highest recommendation. If you’re in Anchorage, don’t miss this place — it’s a must-visit!

    We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and hoped the 20 minute wait would be worth it. Oh, was it ever! The service, food and atmosphere were excellent!! We started with the pretzel breadsticks fondue, which was so great! My husband got the King Salmon special. He said it was the best salmon he’s ever had and would eat it over having a steak any day! I had the shrimp and grits and I was in awe! They were the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had them from Florida to New Orleans and now Alaska and these were amazing! The combination of flavors were incredible! I also added a side of asparagus to my meal. It was grilled and seasoned to perfection! Our server was very attentive and great with recommendations. We will be coming back very soon! I do recommend getting a reservation if you don’t have time to wait. Thankfully, we did and it was well worth it!

    The Brew House has some absolutely delicious food! The service was quick and friendly, our waitress was fantastic and made sure everything was perfect. I loved their root beer, and the special steak with shrimp was cooked just right. My favorite dish, though, has to be the hearty seafood chowder, so rich and flavorful! Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.
