Best Beach Bar in America – Talon Lodge in Alaska
Imagine yourself sitting on deck on a private island, sipping fresh drinks made from ingredients straight from the garden, the sun sets on a perfect day of sport fishing in Alaska. Alaska?! There is a beach bar in Alaska, you ask yourself. Absolutely and it’s one of a kind – the only open-air beach bar in the state.
Talon Lodge, located a short 15-minutes boat ride from Sitka Alaska, has long stood out from its competition as a luxury fishing resort. Ranked as number one in specialty lodging by TripAdvisor, a getaway to the lodge is much more than a fishing trip. While Talon provides experienced sport and fly fishing guides and exemplary Salmon and Halibut fishing, the lodge provides amenities and services you will not find at other Alaska fishing lodges.
Your fishing vacation is enhanced by comfortable, deluxe accommodations, one-of-a-kind Alaska open-air massage pavilion, succulent culinary creations by the Talon Lodge team of chefs, visiting world-class chefs and fine wine provided and presented by leading vintners. The only thing that could make this Alaska retreat better would be a place to gather and relax, socialize and nosh, feet up, drink in hand with unforgettable scenery. Well, you will not be disappointed. Talon Lodge also boasts a beach bar that overlooks Alaska’s Inside Passage, 30 feet from one of the few natural sand beaches in the southeast part of the state.
Alaska’s only open-air beach bar features a lounge area with a series of fire pits, outdoor and covered seating, and a full length bar staffed with bartenders masterfully creating unique drinks made with ingredients from the lodge’s garden, like raspberries and mint. Talon Tinis, Mai-Talon, Talon Mule and Talon Mint Mojitos are some of the most popular drinks but the beach bar additionally serves a great assortment of wine and top shelf liquors. The heated beach bar is surrounded by some of the most spectacular views on earth. It is quite common to spot whales, sea otters and sea lions as well as seals and bald eagles. Talon Lodge’s Beach Bar includes an outdoor show kitchen for cooking demonstrations and the preparation of gourmet dinners by the Talon Lodge gourmet chef team.

Talon Lodge has also been included in the Best Beach Bars in America by both Yahoo News and Men’s Journal Magazine.
