About This Place

Located at 3461 E Tudor Rd in Anchorage, The Blue Fox stands out as a truly inviting neighborhood bar that blends authentic Alaskan charm with great food, cold beer, and lively entertainment. This is not your typical upscale cocktail lounge—instead, it offers a warm, unpretentious atmosphere where locals gather to relax, enjoy hearty classic bar fare, and connect over live music.

The menu at The Blue Fox is a delightful nod to comfort food with a twist, perfectly suited to satisfy any appetite after a long day. Highlights include their famously delicious Pastrami and Corned Beef Reuben sandwiches—each bite rich with tender, flavorful meat and complemented by robust, zesty accompaniments. For lighter options, their fresh Garden Salad and Buffalo Chicken Salad offer savory balance, while the Mexiburger—especially when loaded with bacon and pastrami—delivers a messy, mouthwatering experience that’s earned rave reviews. Appetizers and sides like crispy French Fries, golden Onion Rings, crunchy Garlic Cheese Curds, and the unique Sourdough Mining Co. Corn Fritters round out the menu with variety and satisfying textures.

What truly sets The Blue Fox apart is its authentic, cozy vibe paired with genuinely friendly staff like Kayla, who make every visit feel personal and welcoming. Patrons frequently praise the attentive service, relaxed crowd, and the bar’s steady rotation of local live acts, especially the popular Monday open mic nights, which bring a spirited energy to the venue. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a quick beer, or settling in for some music and conversation, The Blue Fox offers an experience that feels both familiar and special.

Customers appreciate that while The Blue Fox keeps things straightforward, its food is well-prepared and reasonably priced—a perfect match for the inviting dive bar ambiance. The cold beer flows easily and complements the menu beautifully, making it a favorite after-work hangout for locals. It’s clear that this bar is cherished not just for the food and drinks, but for its role as a community gathering spot where everyone is welcomed.

If you find yourself in Anchorage and crave honest, flavorful bar food served up with warmth and character, The Blue Fox is definitely a destination worth seeking out. It’s a place where the flavors are genuine, the smiles are real, and the experience leaves you wanting to come back for more.

    This isn't a fancy cocktail lounge or exclusive steakhouse but I love everything about it. Their food is excellent, classic bar fair, their drinks are good and their bartenders are friendly. If you show up when they are really busy I think you miss out on part of what makes them special because you can't get the same level of attention you do when it's just a handful of people around the bar also the service at those busy times is somewhat slower and less attentive, they are just busy.

    Haven't been here in years!! Went to have lunch with a friend Its a bar with a kitchen and the items offered will cover almost anything ya need Comfortable atmosphere and perfect for lunch I had the Mexiburger modified with bacon and pastrami!! Beautifully delicious and right kind of messy burger! I'd probably order with another patty next time My friend had the blue cheese burger She really enjoyed it and did look very appealing Both came with shoestring potato fries Definitely give Tham a try!!

    Best dive bar in town and with great music too. Good little crowd of locals in here in the evening and after work. I stopped in for wings and a salad last night, and to listen to open mic night. Best food presentation I have had in a long time. The server, Kayla, offered to toss my salad, but I declined (I like to pick through it) she gave me a funny look after though. She’s still a sweetheart though! Jess is a hoot too!

    Peefect little dive! Staff was great food was priced right and beer was cold! What more could you ask for? Kayla (sorry if I misspelled it) was welcoming and attentive. The food is nothing to write home about, but it's priced right for what you get. If you're in the area looking for a quick stop, this is a good spot. Thought I took a picture of my BLT, but here the menu as of 10/08/2024. BLT had enough bacon and wasn't disappointed.

    Walking in you're greeted by beautiful welcoming bartenders. Lovable long-tenured staff who make the Blue Fox ambiance feel relaxed and welcoming. Dive bar meets delicious food menu / with daily specials. Karaoke, live music, pool/darts, and TVs for sports. Large bar top, and table service available. The oldest bar in all of Anchorage some say...?

    One of my favorite places in Anchorage!! This woman owned and run establishment always makes me feel comfortable and safe! The bartenders always look out for me and after 20 years in the industry myself, it is awesome to see that kind of support. I absolutely love the vending machine with cigarettes and the taxidermy! Every social event I've attended there has always been kind and inviting and I just love this place! But shhhh. Don't tell your friends unless you're going to be cool here too tip your bartenders, they deserve it!
