Annabelle's Keg Chowder House
Annabelle's Famous Keg & Chowder House
An old-school seafood restaurant in the 1927 Gilmore Hotel, where the chowder sampler offers clam, seafood and smoked salmon in one order.
Located on the ground floor of the Gilmore Building at 326 Front Street (built 1926–27), about a five-minute walk from the cruise terminal, this place has a retro bar atmosphere and is also known for its "haunted hotel" legends. It specializes in Alaskan seafood. The most recommended dish is the chowder sampler (clam, seafood and smoked salmon), and other popular choices include ginger crispy-skin salmon and king crab legs. The selection of Alaskan craft beers is wide. Reviews are mixed: some say the chowder is the best in town, while others find it average and overpriced. Reservations are now accepted.
