Gay Anchorage
The largest city in Alaska, Anchorage is home to 40 percent of the state’s population. Anchorage is a small city with a small gay community. The few bars, as in most such cities, tend to mix everyone of all ages, genders and affinities together. There are also membership clubs to provide fellowship and organize events throughout the year.
- Mad Myrnas is by far the most popular. It sits in downtown Anchorage and has weekly drag shows, karaoke and other such events. This bar has been ranked in the top 200 gay bars of the world. There’s an outdoor section, a dance floor, a main bar area with pool tables, and a ballroom with stage and seating. Each section has a separate bar available.
- Raven is tavern style bar popular with local bears, otters and leather guys with fun underwear parties and an outdoor terrace.
- Vans dive bar and Bernie’s Bungalow Lounge are two popular gay-friendly bars worth checking out.
