Eat & Drink
Crab shacks and fish-taco trucks on the waterfront, local breweries and coffee roasters, and a few serious dinner rooms a short walk uphill.
Tracy's King Crab Shack
A counter-service crab shack a couple of minutes from the ships, known for king crab legs and a well-loved crab bisque.
Alaskan Brewing Public House
The Juneau brewery's own bar on South Franklin, pouring its beers alongside seafood and burgers, with indoor and outdoor seating.
Deckhand Dave's Fish Tacos
Fish tacos with wild salmon, halibut or rockfish from a former commercial fisherman, served from a truck with picnic-table seating.
Hangar on the Wharf
A busy restaurant and bar in an old floatplane hangar on Merchants Wharf, with harbor views and a long craft-beer list. Reservations help.
Alaska Fish & Chips Company
A casual counter at the Flight Deck on Merchants Wharf for halibut and chips, fish tacos and smoked salmon chowder.
Salt
An upscale dinner restaurant on Seward Street built around Alaska seafood and steaks, with a deep cocktail, scotch and wine list.
Gold Creek Salmon Bake
An all-you-can-eat outdoor salmon cookout beside Salmon Creek, with a short walk to a waterfall and gold panning. Transport from downtown is included.
Walking map: the docks and downtown Juneau
The cruise berths line the waterfront along South Franklin Street. Downtown rises steeply behind them: the shops, saloons and the Walter Soboleff Building are on the flat blocks near the water, and the Capitol and St. Nicholas Church are uphill.
