Talkeetna is out of the way. You have to go up a 15 mile spur of Park Hwy to even get there and the road literally deadends in town. The closest road other than Parks Hwy is hundreds of miles away. It is, however, the starting point for most climbers looking to conquer Mt. McKinley and draws a fair share of tourists. I’m actually not sure there’s anything there that doesn’t depend entirely on tourists to stay in business. Still, the locals recommend this place and the pizza was excellent. Reindeer sausage makes a great pizza topping. I was actually surprised at the beer selection. There was no macro on tap although I think there was one tap reserved for Red Strip or something. Most was Alaska-brewed beers and a few Northwestern beers. They even had Alaskan Big Nugget Barleywine on tap. Not a bad little place for a few beers and some decent pizza.
