Travelers and locals alike praise its “friendly atmosphere and great selection of drinks” including local craft beers and spirits . Inside you’ll find rustic timber décor and warm lighting; the bar often feels like the living room of the town. It’s notable for being one of the few full-service bars on Prince of Wales Island and essentially the only bar that also offers guest rooms under the same roof. That makes it a unique blend of pub and inn, and a key meeting place where fishermen, guides, and visitors gather. Beyond just being a bar, the inn portion offers modern amenities – flat-screen TVs in rooms and free Wi-Fi – so you can make a night of it without leaving the building . In short, The Craig Inn Bar is a classic small-town Alaskan tavern: homey, unpretentious, and central to the Craig social scene . ### Events and Programming The Craig Inn Bar hosts a wide variety of evening entertainment, often centered on live music. It is a regular stop for local and regional bands playing rock, country, blues or folk on weekends. Many nights feature karaoke, open-mic or cover bands, especially in the busy summer season. The bar sometimes brings in touring acts or special performances – in past years that has included local charity concerts or festive revue shows – though most performers are singers and groups well-known in Southeast Alaska. You’ll also find seasonal parties (holiday celebrations, New Year’s Eve gatherings) and community event tie-ins. During community festivals like the annual woodcarving fair (Whittle the Wood Rendezvous), the Inn Bar may host post-event showings or special late-night music. There generally isn’t a set master schedule posted far in advance; instead, band flyers go up on the bar and in local media. Cover charges vary – often free for triangular bar nights, and usually modest (around $5–10) for bigger acts. Ticketed special events, such as a dance troupe or a large local band, sometimes occur. In such cases tickets are usually very affordable and may be sold in advance at the bar’s door or via word-of-mouth in the community. Typical drink and cover prices remain very reasonable, reflective of the town’s laid-back atmosphere. (For example, a beer is in the standard $4–6 range, while pizza slices or chili-cheese fries run about $5–10.) ### Tickets and Booking There is no formal box office for The Craig Inn Bar. For most live shows or special events, tickets – if required – are sold on-site at the bar, and patrons often pay at the door. Promoters may announce ticket sales in the local newspaper – \*The Craig Press\* – or on community bulletin boards. Frequent visitors usually just call the bar directly (phone 907-826-3365) to inquire about big shows. For very popular nights (like holiday block parties or significant live acts), tickets might sell out, so it’s wise to arrive early or buy in advance if possible. Generally, though, the culture here is casual: many events are free or only ask a small donation. If an event has an online presale (often a local social media or community calendar listing), it will be a very small venue and the bar will likely still honor door sales. Most patrons simply show up first-come for usual live-band nights and pay any cover charge at the entrance. When there is a cover, expect prices in the low teens; again, the Inn Bar emphasizes accessibility, so they avoid expensive tiers or VIP pricing. In short, treat it like a neighborhood pub: no need for expensive tickets – just check dates, mark your calendar, and plan to pay at the door if there is an admission fee for a special show. ### Seating and Layout Inside, The Craig Inn Bar is intimate and ground-level. On one side is the long wooden bar counter with stools, and on the other side a handful of high-top tables and booths. With only a few dozen seats in total, the room can feel friendly and packed during a busy night. During live shows, one corner of the bar becomes an informal stage area. There are typically a couple of folding chairs that get placed in front of it, but most patrons stand or cluster around the bar for a good view. If you value a front-row spot, aim to get there early or stake out standing room as close to the stage corner as possible. The acoustics are generally good: vaulted ceilings and wood walls give live music a warm, resonant quality. Volume can get loud, so the best seats are often near the bar or along the opposite wall, where you can chat without so much echo. There is no formal VIP area or reserved section – seating is first-come based at the tables or at the bar. A couple of booths along the window side allow small groups to sit together, which can be convenient if you prefer table service and still want a view of the performer. One thing to note: the floor is flat with limited separation between dance floor and tables, so you’ll be sharing space with dancers or moving crowds at peak times. If you need to avoid crowds, a corner seat by the west wall is relatively quieter. Otherwise, any spot in the main room has a good line-of-sight to the small stage. Because it’s a true general admission pub experience, some locals like to stand near the back or by the pool table (when open) and chat – you won’t miss much, as the whole room is compact. ### Getting There and Parking The Craig Inn Bar’s address is 403 Water St, Craig, AK. It’s right in the heart of Craig’s small downtown district, at the water-side end of the main drag. People traveling by car will want to arrive via the Island’s main roads: if you’re coming from Ketchikan (the nearest city), take the North Tongass Highway north 45 miles to Hollis Bay and the Inter-Island Ferry terminal. From Hollis, Craig is just a 30-mile drive west on a paved road. (Note: the causeway between Craig Island and Prince of Wales Island puts you directly downtown when you cross it.) There is also an alternate arrival path: if heading from the north or Thorne Bay area, take the ferry from Klawock to Point Baker (WAVE route) and then drive south to Craig. In all cases the signage to Craig downtown is clear. Parking is generally easy and free. Water Street and Front Street have on-street parking as well as a public lot nearby. You’ll often find spots along the street right by the bar, or in a parking area just behind it. No metering or garages are needed – overnight street parking is permitted. If those fill up (they rarely do except during IronDog snowmobile races or big fishing weeks), there are a few more spots by the neighboring buildings on Front Street. Since Craig is small, everything downtown is within walking distance, so once park your car you’ll be steps from the door. Public transit service in Craig is minimal; there is no city bus line. Taxis are also nearly non-existent in town (it’s common just to drive yourself or carpool). Rideshare apps (Uber, Lyft) effectively do not operate here. The only public transit to Craig is via the ferry or plane. The nearest major airport is Ketchikan International (KTN). From Ketchikan, travelers can rent a car and take the ferry at Hollis, or book a floatplane/seaplane flight directly to Craig’s harbor. Alaska Seaplanes and Taquan Air occasionally run scheduled or charter flights between Ketchikan and either nearby Klawock or Craig’s floatpond. Klawock Airport (PAWC) is about 6 miles north of Craig by road. If you fly into Klawock, you will need a rental car to drive to Craig. In practical terms, most visitors drive the short hop on the Hollis ferry (via the North Inter-Island route) rather than rely on small planes. For rides within Craig, most locals walk or bicycle (it’s about 0.5 sq mi in area). There is a small taxi service that can sometimes be arranged (calling in advance is best), and some inns (including the Craig Inn) may offer shuttle service to and from the ferry upon request. In winter, roads can be icy, so four-wheel-drive vehicles and care on the causeway are recommended. ### Inside the Venue Expect The Craig Inn Bar to feel like a classic pub. There is no formal cloakroom or lockers; patrons typically hang coats on hooks or leave them on chair backs. No large backpacks or coolers are allowed inside, and management will check big bags at the door for security. Entry is straightforward: if there’s an event, a bartender or host will take your cover charge or check IDs for 21+ entry. At the bar you’ll find a standard menu of bar food items – burgers, fries, chili cheese tots, grilled sandwiches, nachos and the like. (Reviewers often mention the McKinley Burger and the “Chili Cheese Fries” as favorites.) If you’re hungry, the kitchen is usually open until about 10 pm; otherwise snack on peanuts or chips with your beer. No outside food and drink can be brought in. The drink menu covers the basics: domestic and Alaskan beers on tap, plus a few local craft drafts when available. The bar keeps a modest wine list and a full cocktail list (expect house shots and simple mixed drinks). Daily drink specials are not routine, but you’ll usually find cheap well drinks or beer buckets on special for events and weekends. The bartender is friendly and often chats with guests, so it’s common to hear locals request rounds or top-shelf spirits – the atmosphere is very relaxed. Atmosphere-wise, it’s casual all the way: baseball caps, flannel, and hiking boots are perfectly at home here. During shows, tables clear out for standing room, and people form circles or lean against the bar. There’s no strict dress code beyond the state’s health code (no bare feet in public areas); however, if it’s cold outside you may see an army of parkas lining the entry (since most arrive after being out in the Alaskan wild). Restrooms are at the rear of the bar area. They are simple, single-stall facilities (one men’s, one women’s) and are generally kept clean. There is limited space, so it may queue up when the place is packed. An accessible (ADA) restroom is not obvious; older patrons have noted that the inn section rooms have ADA amenities, but the bar’s own restrooms may not be wheelchair-friendly. (If you have mobility needs, it’s wise to mention this when you call ahead.) The bar does clear snow from its entry during winter, but the sidewalk may still be slick – wear good boots. One special note: The Craig Inn Bar is a non-smoking venue by Alaska law. Smoking is not allowed inside, and cigarettes must be done outside. The building generally does not have a covered smoking patio, so smokers will do so on the sidewalk in front or on the little landing by the stairs. If you smoke or vape, plan for a quick step outside (it can be pleasantly social talk time at intermission). After walking in, you’ll notice old photos and Alaska-themed memorabilia on the walls. There might be a small merchandise rack by the register with t-shirts or local poster sales for passing bands. Free Wi-Fi is available in the inn lounge (ask staff for password) and reliable cell coverage in Craig means you can look up the Inn’s menu or event calendar from your phone at the bar. Many patrons stay connected, using their phones for last-minute changes or to share photos of the band on social media. ### Nearby Amenities Being in downtown Craig, The Craig Inn Bar has several amenities within easy reach. Within a block you’ll find \*\*Dockside Cafe\*\* (504 Front St) , a popular local restaurant known for comfort food (especially pies, soups and cooked breakfasts). If you want pizza or delivery food, \*\*Papa’s Pizza\*\* (333 Cold Storage Rd) is a short drive away . For casual bites, the \*\*Fish & Chicks food truck\*\* (at 1325 Craig Hwy by the Tribal Hall) serves seafood tacos and fish plates. Other downtown food spots include Annie Betty’s (for coffee and baked goods) and JT Brown’s General Store where you can get convenience items and also a hot dog grab. In short, whether you want seafood, pizza, or a hearty brunch the morning after, Craig’s eateries are all nearby. Hotels and lodging are likewise close. In fact, the bar is part of an inn, so rooms are upstairs. Other local hotels include the \*\*Dockside Lodging\*\* (near the cafe) and a few smaller motels and B&Bs on Craig Island. If you need to crash after a late night, walking to your room is certainly convenient. For visitors without a vehicle, several lodges arrange local transportation or can advise on rides. For pre-show drinks or a second round after the bar closes, two other pubs are a short walk: \*\*Sport’s Page Bar\*\* (at the city’s lodge) often has a pool table and TV sports, and \*\*J.W. Snack’s Bar\*\* down by the river (though that was reported to be seasonal). Also there is a small liquor store a few blocks away if you want to stock up (although obviously not to bring into the show). If you’re staying overnight, note that Craig has no Uber/Lyft service. Taxis are virtually non-existent. Instead, people rely on hotel shuttles (rare) or simply walk to places. The downtown area is compact – none of these spots are more than a 5-minute walk from The Craig Inn Bar. It’s one reason the community atmosphere is so strong: you might bump into neighbors at the bar’s foot traffic or while lining up for the café across the street. ### What Makes This Venue Special The Craig Inn Bar stands out because it is not just a generic chain pub – it’s a genuine piece of Craig’s heritage. The town of Craig celebrated its centennial in 2022, and this bar/inn has been a chapter in that story for a long time . Its wooden interiors and reminiscences of the Alaskan fishery and logging eras (framed prints on the wall, bits of old wood carvings, and antlers) give it a lived-in, authentic feel that tourists treasure. In a community where everyone knows each other, this bar doubles as a living room for the entire town. Generations of fishermen and mill workers have enjoyed seasonal harvest celebrations or Sunday bingo nights here. Culturally, the bar is one of few entertainment venues on Prince of Wales Island. Because of that, locals and visiting artists alike value it highly. Musicians enjoy playing there because of the attentive audience – the crowd may be small but very engaged, and staff treats players like old friends. There have been memorable nights when the whole bar erupted in applause for a really great performance. Locals also like that it’s family-friendly (before 9pm minors with parents can visit for dinner) but turns into a bona fide bar scene later. One signature feature: it’s the only place in Craig where you can literally go from under the bar’s neon light to under a comfy down comforter in two minutes. This fusion of pub and lodging is unique – you’re literally sleeping under the same roof you drank the night before. That makes travel easy and tends to create community. Finally, its location on Craig’s harbor gives a special atmosphere. The bar’s windows face the water and the adjacent island forest. On a clear night, you might see bioluminescent plankton or sea birds on the dock. The Inn Bar has hosted impromptu midnight dockside bonfires (weather permitting), cementing its place as a hub of wilderness camaraderie. All these human and local touches make The Craig Inn Bar beloved by performers and patrons; artists have said the small crowds here feel like family, and locals feel proud whenever someone compliments the “real Alaskan charm” of the place. ### Visitor Tips and Information Plan to arrive early on event nights: popular shows can draw a full bar. Doors usually open around 7–8pm on weekdays, and 6–7pm on weekends, with music often starting an hour later. The bar enforces Alaska’s 21+ rule strictly in the evenings (usually after 9pm), so if you’re under 21 you may need to leave by concert time (though kids are often allowed in the dining area earlier in the evening with adults). Always carry a valid ID. Dress is casual and layered. Bring a sweater or jacket, as the bar keeps a slight chill during the high-volume acoustic sets. The floors may get wet or sandy (people track in fishing gear in summer and boots in winter), so wear shoes you don’t mind. Since the bar is small, a large group might need to split up or hang around a bit if tables are full. There’s no coat check, so keep personal items with you at all times. The door attendant may do a light pat-down or bag check (especially on busy nights), to keep everyone safe. Photography is permitted casually (phones, cameras) as long as it’s not too distracting to others. However, video recording of performances without permission would be frowned upon – patrons come here to enjoy the intimacy, not a stage production viewed on screen. If you need disabled access, be aware: there is a step up into the bar from the sidewalk (two small steps) and the spaces are tight. Call ahead to make arrangements if you have mobility issues – staff will try to assist. Food is only served from late afternoon until about 10pm; if you arrive after the kitchen closes, plan to eat beforehand (see \[Nearby Amenities\](#nearby-amenities)). The bar menu offers hearty portions – it’s tolerant of folks ordering just a sandwich or smaller snack if you’re not so hungry. Keep some cash on hand, as small vendors or entertainers may prefer it, and tips for servers and musicians are welcome. Finally, soak in the local memory: wildlife and weather change quickly here. The bar has little Internet distraction, so it’s common to see locals watching Borealis shows or elk migrations on their phones by the hearth. If a massive storm rolls in, you might spend an entire evening swapping stories with new friends at the bar over a round of beers, which is the real Alaskan experience The Craig Inn Bar is all about. #### What is the exact address and location of The Craig Inn Bar? The Craig Inn Bar is located at **403 Water Street, Craig, Alaska 99921**, on Craig Island in Prince of Wales Island. It’s in downtown Craig near the city causeway. You’ll find it right off the Water Street/Front Street intersection. The Alaska map coordinates are latitude 55.45°N, longitude 133.63°W (roughly). It’s the only bar/inn in that area, just a block from Front Street shops. #### How do I get to The Craig Inn Bar from major cities? The nearest big city is Ketchikan (south), about 55 miles away by road. From Ketchikan, drive north on the highway to Hollis (where the ferry terminal is) and take the Inter-Island Ferry to Prince of Wales Island. Craig is then about 30 miles west by road. Alternatively, you can fly to Klawock Airport (on POW) and rent a car for the 10-minute drive south. There are also floatplane services that land in Craig harbor. No direct commercial flight lands in Craig, so links involve ferry or floatplane from Ketchikan. #### Are there parking options near The Craig Inn Bar? Yes. Parking in downtown Craig is abundant and free. You’ll find on-street parking directly in front of the bar on Water Street and Front Street. There is also a small public parking lot just behind the building. No meter or permit is needed. The lot fills up only on the busiest summer nights or festival days, otherwise parking is never a problem. There is no parking fee for evening shows. #### Is there a public bus or rideshare to Craig Inn Bar? Craig has no scheduled public bus or Uber/Lyft service. The primary ways to get around are private car, taxi, or shuttle. A local taxi can be summoned by phone (if available), and some hotels offer shuttle service from the ferry terminal on request. Because downtown is small, many visitors just walk or bike around Craig. If staying locally, your hotel may provide transportation. For visitors arriving by ferry, taxis or a friendly local are usually the best bet. #### Do I need to buy tickets in advance to go to The Craig Inn Bar? For regular bar nights, no ticket is needed – you can just walk in. For special shows or weekend events, tickets (usually an affordable cover charge) are often sold at the door. The Craig Inn Bar does not have a formal ticket office. If it’s a paid event, you’ll typically purchase tickets on-site the night of the show. For very popular special events, locals sometimes sell advance tickets on a first-come basis by advertising in the local paper or word-of-mouth, but this is rare. Otherwise, just arrive early and pay any cover charge at entry. #### Can tickets for a show at The Craig Inn Bar be bought online? The Craig Inn Bar does not have an online ticketing system. There are no third-party outlets like Ticketmaster for this small venue. Occasionally, organizers may post an event on a local community site or social media, but purchases still happen in person. In practice, you would either call the bar directly to reserve (if offered) or simply pay the cover at the door. #### How much do tickets or cover charges cost? Most nights have no cover charge. When there is a cover (for example, during a special band or event), it tends to be quite reasonable – typically in the range of $5 to $15. Big shows (few and far between) may lean toward the higher end, but even those rarely exceed $20. Since most performers are local or regional, the bar promotes affordable access. Always ask at the bar or local listing in advance for specifics on pricing for an event you plan to attend. #### What type of seating is available inside The Craig Inn Bar? The Craig Inn Bar offers a mix of bar stools and tables. Along one wall is the counter seating, and scattered across the room are high-top wooden tables and a couple of booth-style benches. None of the seating is reserved; it’s first-come basis. If you want to sit, arrive early to grab a stool or table before a show. Many people prefer to stand near the front of the stage area as well. The space is small and intimate, so wherever you sit or stand, you’ll still feel part of the action. #### Are there any VIP or reserved sections at this bar? No. The Craig Inn Bar is purely general admission. There are no VIP tickets, reserved seats, or roped-off areas. Everyone shares the same floor space during concerts. The bar strives for an inclusive environment where regulars and visitors mingle. Even the inn’s guests must enter through the same bar room. The closest thing to “reserved” might be if you call ahead and a friendly bartender keeps an eye on an extra seat (e.g. on a very busy night), but formally there are no VIP tickets. #### What is the age policy at The Craig Inn Bar? The bar enforces Alaska’s 21+ drinking laws. Patrons must be 21 or older to consume alcohol. That also generally means that after evening (around 8–9pm) only guests 21+ are allowed inside. During the early evening, minors can be in the dining area only if accompanied by a parent or guardian (for example, kids may join family dinners until the bar fully transitions to an adult crowd). Be prepared to show ID. Staff frequently checks IDs, especially on show nights. So if you or someone in your party is under 21, plan to arrive early and stick to the dining hours, or arrange childcare for later. #### Is there a dress code or any specific attire required? The Craig Inn Bar has a very casual, “come-as-you-are” atmosphere. There is no formal dress code. People wear everything from jeans and flannel to T-shirts to drive to the bar. In winter, you’ll see full parkas and boots in the entry (they’ll remove boots in wet weather). The only advice: dress for weather. Craig can be chilly and rainy, so layered clothing is smart. For concerts, wear whatever style you enjoy – country hats, leather jackets, or just hoodie and jeans are all normal here. The only banned items would be things like gang-related colors or oversize sports gear that could intimidate others; staff reserves the right to refuse entry for any disruptive attire, but on a Friday night expect folks in typical Alaskan casual wear. #### Can I bring a purse, backpack, or cameras to the venue? Small bags, purses and phone cameras are fine. However, large backpacks or coolers are discouraged. Security at the door may glance inside bags to ensure nothing unsafe is brought in. Cameras for personal snapshots are allowed; many guests snap pictures of bands or the rustic interior. However, professional photography with flash can be disruptive to performers and others, so it’s best to ask first. Basically: your wallet, purse, or a small camera are okay, but don’t expect to lug in a giant bag or tripod. If you need to stash rain gear or outdoor items, you can leave them in the lobby area while inside. #### Does The Craig Inn Bar have a coat check or storage area? No formal coat check is provided. Guests usually hang coats and hats on the wall hooks or over their chairs. The weather in Craig can be wet, so a row of dripping parkas by the door is common on busy nights. If you don’t want to keep your coat with you, just ask the bartender; they often hold items at the counter for safety. But there’s no staffed cloakroom or lockers. The space is limited, so big umbrellas or gear may need to be left in your car or on the steps outside. #### Are there accessible facilities for disabled guests at The Craig Inn Bar? The building is older and not fully ADA-equipped. There is a small set of steps at the entrance, and the main bathroom downstairs is not wheelchair accessible. There is space to move a small wheelchair near the bar, but seating and restroom layouts are tight. If you or someone in your party needs an elevator or a ramp, it’s best to contact the bar ahead of time. Guests have noted that the inn’s upstairs guest rooms have ADA features, but the bar area is essentially the ground floor. Staff are generally very accommodating and will assist handicapped guests with seating or carrying items if needed. #### What food and drink options are available inside? The bar serves hearty pub fare. Menu staples include burgers (like the house McKinley Burger with fries), grilled sandwiches (such as a bacon-jalapeño grilled cheese), nachos, chili-cheese fries and other comfort snacks. There’s also typically a soup of the day. The kitchen operates until around 10pm, after which only the bar menu (snacks, flatbreads or small dishes) may remain. On the drink side, the bar leans local: you’ll see Alaskan breweries on tap, plus mainstream imports. Mixed drinks and shots are available, as are a few wines by the glass. They keep a full bar, so if you like a whiskey or local craft beer, you’ll find it here. Prices are moderate – beers run $4–6, mixed drinks $7–10. Happy hour specials are rare, but you might catch occasional deals on certain nights. #### Can I bring my own food or drinks into the bar? No outside food or alcoholic drinks are allowed. The venue enforces state laws and its own policy, so any food or drink brought in should be non-alcoholic and limited (e.g. baby bottles or medical items are permitted under ADA rules). You can bring a camera or phone to take pictures, but not your own beer cooler. If you have dietary issues or need something specific, it’s best to contact the kitchen – sometimes they will accommodate requests, but generally, plan to eat what they serve or come after dinner at a nearby restaurant. #### Is there Wi-Fi available for guests? Wi-Fi is available, but it’s technically the inn’s guest network. Ask the bartender for the current login. Because the pub is attached to the Craig Inn, patrons often share the same network used by hotel guests. Signal is decent in the bar room, so you can check messages or look up menu items on your phone. That said, many people prefer to unplug and enjoy the live music without distraction. Do note that taking calls or streaming videos is discouraged during shows out of respect for performers. #### What is the capacity of The Craig Inn Bar? As a rough figure, the bar holds on the order of 50–60 people comfortably. There are only a few dozen seats, so the rest is standing room. It’s definitely a small venue. Fire code regulations would cap it in the triple digits, but in practice a sold-out night will feel very full at 40–50 patrons. Because the space is intimate, events here are cozy affairs rather than huge concerts. If you see a crowd waiting outside on Water Street, know the bar itself won’t be able to serve many more inside at one time. #### Does The Craig Inn Bar have outdoor seating? No, there is no outdoor patio seating. The bar sits right on the street with no rear patio or rooftop area open to patrons. In summer, a few customers sometimes stand on the sidewalk outside with drinks if the inside gets very crowded, but this is informal. Smoking outside is also done on the sidewalk. All official seating and standing space is inside. If you want fresh air between sets, stepping out onto Water Street is your option; there’s nowhere official to sit outside the building. #### Can I book The Craig Inn Bar for a private event? Yes, private bookings are possible. The Craig Inn Bar can be rented out for small private parties or community events (like family gatherings or receptions). Because it’s part of an inn, booking is often coordinated through the hotel side. Contact the Craig Inn’s management directly to inquire about reserving the space. Keep in mind that because of its size, it’s suitable only for modest-sized groups (perhaps up to the bar’s capacity). Rental rules would include minimum drink bar spend or rental fees. But many locals have hosted surprise birthday parties or holiday get-togethers here. Just be sure to plan well in advance, especially during peak summer season when the bar gets booked up. --- This page is on Ticket Fairy, a ticketing, marketing and operations platform for live events and the venues that host them: festivals, club nights, concerts, conferences and tours, and night clubs, beach clubs and concert venues.
