What User doesn't like about The Banks Alehouse:
Food was good, large menu options and waitresses are friendly. We ate in once and another time attempted to place a takeout order but they refused because they were too busy. View all feedback. What User likes about The Banks Alehouse:
We decided to try this restaurant since it was one of the few places still open at 8 PM. Despite some prior reviews, we ended up having a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and the draft beer was incredibly fresh. I highly recommend the burger and the Aroma Dome IPA from the local brewery in Fairbanks. View all feedback.

This is the place to come watch football in Fairbanks! Everything was great-the beer choices, the food, the prices, the staff. Definitely stop here!

If you are here for bar food (fried), you are in the right place. Best fried pickles we've ever had. However, the margarita was terrible, the cider tasted water...

Went to watch a Packers-Bears game. Plenty of tv’s to watch the game. Good selection of beers. Good selection of bar food. Service was just okay.

This place has a great vibe, I decided not to eat here, though, the Gluten-free options didn't seem Celiac friendly enough.

The burgers are delicious and the drinks are fantastic. They always kept our drinks refilled, ensuring we never had an empty glass.

As for service, it was average at best. Our server, whose name I don’t recall, is seen in one of our photos eating instead of checking in on us to see if we nee...
