Diamond Jim's Harvester Inn: Cramping Your Style

    Though most outsiders might not picture nightlife in Kodiak, this is after all a town of 6,300, and not everyone likes to fish, hunt or hike. Among a numerous and diversified array of waterfront restaurants, Kodiak also claims two superlatives among Alaskan watering holes. One of these is Diamond Jim's on Mill Bay Road, reckoned the smallest bar in Alaska. Though it looks like a simple box, almost spiritless like a coffin, the capacity is reckoned at 40. Not standing room only, that is, not for everyone or all the time. . . the bar claims the ability to seat as many patrons -- but only eight at a time.

    B & B Bar: Exhausting Your Wallet

    Kodiak also claims the oldest bar in Alaska near the waterfront, none other than the B & B Bar, another nondescript building with limited spirit in its outward appearance. Inside (besides verifying the 1906 license on the righthand wall) you can throw darts, play pool or belly up to the bar with the other wastrels and misfits, call for a $4 can of beer, and listen to the latest gossip on town life. At the time of my visit, the witch/barmaid boasted having seen a bear along the Pasagshak road, while the others decried the local radio "selling hour," which VT member kaloz likened to "radio Ebay."

    Theme: Nightclub
    Dress Code: Dress is casual, and the more informal the better. Prim and proper dress would occasion several hard glares from the roughened patrons who frequent this bar.

    Address: 326 Shelikof St
    Directions: on the waterfront near the Best Western Motel (above)

     Excellent job on one of my favorite towns! Enjoyed both the photos and writings. Next time you're in the state come a little further west and see what a real fishing town looks like :)

     Fantastic job on this page. Getting VT'ers to give up fishing secrets is not easy.
