Sandbar & Grill
A local favorite pub and grill in the airport area, famous for its halibut fish and chips, far away from the cruise ship crowds.
Located on Industrial Boulevard near the airport, about 19 kilometers from downtown, this is an established local tavern that requires a drive to reach. The signature dish is the crispy, generously portioned halibut fish and chips, and their tartar sauce is also highly praised. Some reviews note that the same portion size here is about $15 cheaper than downtown. The pub has an unpretentious atmosphere, features karaoke on select nights, and offers takeout. No official website was found; hours are based on third-party platforms, so calling 907-789-8400 to confirm on holidays is recommended.

Mon, Sun 11:00 AM–8:00 PM; Tue–Thu 11:00 AM–8:45 PM; Fri–Sat 11:00 AM–9:45 PM
