Nightlife Spot: Chair 5 Restaurant
I always try to find the place the locals hang out when I visit a town to get the real feel for a place. In Girdwood, this is Chair 5. Went two nights, the first being Monday night which was packed as all the cheese heads were out cheering on the Packers. The second time was a Wednesday night which was much quieter.
The Bar area holds about 100 people if you pack them tight. The restaurant side has about 10-12 tables and looked to be busy as well.
Like any ski town, Girdwood has a great blend of humanity - from ski bums just living hand to mouth until the snow comes to folks that just like the ambiance and work full time.
