Crow’s Nest Overlook Bar and Grill

July 17, 2005
At the entrance to Denali National Park, this little restaurant and beer bar incorrectly bills itself as having the "largest beer selection in Alaska" ... well, not quite (see Humpy’s), but for the environs they do have a good roster. We didn’t eat, but you can, and there’s a decent view (but boring after a few days in the park). They have a few good regional selections on tap, including most of the Alaskan Brewing’s options, plus a nice list of bottles. We waited for 10 minutes for a waiter before just going to the bar ourselves, so low points for service, but if you’re staying overnight in the area, it’s worth a visit.
