Twisted Fish is located right in the harbor where the cruise ships dock and because of this fact the prices might seem a little high. That being said, the food, its presentation, the service and the atmosphere are always excellent. The menu is diverse and includes some affordable options and truly everything on it is delicious from drinks and apps to the desserts.

Drinks & Nightlife
Great beverages! The distillery only serves drinks made with its own liquors, which are really very good. The atmosphere is a great evening stop.

Excellent craft beer! Place is still pretty new and growing, but the space they do have is a great spot right in the middle of town! Every beer tasted was fabulous! My husbands favorite was the Downrigger Imperial Stout. At over 9%, it's smooth and dangerously easy to drink.

Excellent Craft Cocktail Bar! Has a hole-in-the-wall appearance from the outside, but nicely done interior. Well stock with variety spirits and distillers. Excellent house cocktails from an Old Fashion to a Daiquiri.

Sightseeing
Breathtaking cruise. Words cannot describe how beautiful this place is, amazing experience. I have done this cruise 5 times, I always try and take my guests. Beautiful glacier, lots of floating ice, seabirds, mountains and vibrant water.

Mount Roberts!
Great views of Gastineau Channel! An easily accessible trail from the tramway with superb views of Gastineau Channel leading into Juneau. The incline is probably a mildly challenging but can be strenuous depending how far and high you hike. Water, good hiking shoes are a must. Hiking poles are helpful. You can hike from the bottom of the Trail, or take the Tram up and hike around at the top. It's fun to hike up and take the Tram down. If you spend 10.00 (a beer), free ride down.

Parks & Nature
This glacier is an easy drive out of Juneau and can be reached by various tours. The setting is beautiful with a small glacial lake at the foot of the glacier itself. Nugget Falls is an incredible waterfall. The glacier is nestled in mountain slops, the entire scene is picture perfect. There are trails from the visitor center out to the glacier and you should do them to really appreciate this beautiful area. Interpretative information is available at the visitor center.
