A great place for a girls dinner or a date night! All of our food was great, and came out in a timely manner. The cocktails are delicious, and unique. We were able to be seated a few minutes before our reservation, and all of the staff was helpful and friendly. I can’t recommend Ginger enough!

You will know the moment you walk in that this is not your typical brew pub. The scent of the alder wood grill and wood fired oven, the energy of the sparking exhibition cooking line and the glow of the brewery delight your senses. The BrewHouse features rotisserie grilled meats, the freshest Alaskan seafood, brick oven pizza and award winning hand crafted ales. The BrewHouse is Anchorage’s downtown landmark restaurant-“Where Alaskans meet Alaskans”.
