Van's Dive Bar 1027 East 5th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501

"It's exactly as it sounds... It's a dive bar. They have karaoke, cocktails, and beer. What I found most enticing about this place was how friendly the people and patrons were at this bar. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we ended up having a great time. If you're looking for that dive bar atmosphere, with that karaoke vibe, filled with friendly people, then I recommend Van's dive bar for sure."

"The best dive bar in town! The weekends are packed full of the best local bands without a cover charge and every weekday is themed from open mic to karaoke. Equally as good as the music is the employees and patrons it's the most welcome I've felt in a bar . Plus, the drink prices are a decent price with a good pour."

"Can't lose here if you do it's on you. Great bar great people. They don't serve food, maybe in the future. They do serve people. Come in for karaoke, bands and so forth"

"just got to anchorage and this bar made me feel like family! such cool people here, staff’s talent level with cocktails is so incredibly next level you’d never expect this walking in. Went in for one beer ended up staying all night and switching over to cocktails. Awesome theme nights, seriously this is the place you check out if you wanna hang out with alaskans."

"If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood bar then Van's Dive Bar is your next stop. Van's Dive Bar was previously named 'Kings X'. On the outside there isn't much to the place. Located next to the best pan-fried chicken diner, Lucky Wishbone. On the inside Van's Dive Bar is cozy and well designed for live bands and sports events. The bar is on one side, seating in the middle, and pool on the other side. The restrooms are down the hall and at the end of the hall is a very small outdoor area to have a smoke. I feel like the new name also brings a new clientele to this cozy neighborhood bar. Next time you're in the area stop by for a quick beer and relax. Cheers."
