Drinking

1 Chilkoot Charlie's 2435 Spenard Rd 907/272-1010 www.koots.com Sawdust-strewn barn that packs them in nightly for pricey drinks, pool, foosball, two floors of DJ-led dance, and live music from 9.30pm.

2 Humpy's 610 W 6th Ave 907/276-2337 www.humpys.com Popular watering hole with live music and a strong college-bar feel. The likes of charbroiled salmon, burgers, soups, and salads (mostly about $10) slip down with local microbrews plus English and Belgian bottled beers, and over thirty single malts.

3 Darwin's Theory 426 G St at 4th Ave 907/277-5322 Straightforward local bar good for moderately priced boozing and neighbourly encounters with colourful local characters.
