Late Night Munchies Anchorage, Alaska Edition

  • Local Alaskan musician Nick Carpenter of Medium Build takes the team around his favorite spots to eat and drink in Anchorage, Alaska.
    He starts the night at Anchorage Brewing Company, where Nick can occasionally be seen pouring drinks for other patrons. He and his partner grab some beer on tap and order meatball subs from Familia restaurant inside.
    From there, Nick heads to Wild Scoops to meet up with his nephew, mother, and brother and try specialty ice cream flavors such as rhubarb crumble, buttermilk blueberry, and matcha latte-and try to get to the bottom of where the Carpenter family’s obsession with the creamy treat began!
    Once Nick and his nephew celebrate their sugar rush, Nick heads around the corner and meets his father for cocktails, wine, apps, AND dinner at the allegedly haunted Club Paris. We still think they should have ordered two of the steak fillets, though!
    After that, Nick takes us to the Carousel Lounge to get the true Alaskan dive bar experience. Nick links up with his friends, keeps on drinkin’, and does some karaoke before they walk over to a friend’s house for a fish fry with live music and more beverages.
    Start taking notes, everyone, because if you ever make it to The Last Frontier, you’ll have perfect intel for a great night out!

    When he said "steaks...old fashioneds" I knew he was going to Club Paris. I used to live in Anchorage, and this was one of my favorite places.

    Literally the best vice video I've ever seen, brought me to tears from how wholesome it was. I've been in a rough depressive patch for a while now and this was really something that just hit my heart the right way. Thank you.

      Brings me to tears that everybody writes "wholesome" in lack of any more specific adjectives.
