The other incredible Anchorage bar was the Burning Embers. It was open 23 hours a day and it was staffed by very nubile young ladies who were probably the first Lap dancers.
I can still remember a whole BOAC crew being pushed out in the morning, standing around in the freezing cold for an hour and then back in!
I also remember witnessing a gun battle between a couple of locals from my hotel window.
They were obviously blind drunk and dressed more for Honolulu than Anchorage they also missed each other fortunately.
