MidniteMine

A subterranean sanctuary for the rugged heart — serving Fairbanks with storied spirits and golden light for over half a century.

A Fairbanks
Institution
Since 1971

Midnite Mine isn't a trendy cocktail lounge. It's a piece of Fairbanks history — a place where miners, locals, travelers, college students, military, and old friends have gathered for generations.

The original downstairs bar opened in 1971 and became one of the city's most recognizable watering holes — a low-lit room of dark wood, brass rails, and stories that didn't leave the building.

Today, the Mine carries that tradition forward with Alaska craft beer on tap, specialty cocktails, pool, darts, and an atmosphere impossible to replicate.
