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.
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.
Salt
An upscale dinner restaurant on Seward Street built around Alaska seafood and steaks, with a deep cocktail, scotch and wine list.
Sandpiper Cafe
A breakfast-and-lunch cafe in the Willoughby district, past the state museum, known for stuffed French toast and weekend brunch.
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.
