Food scene
Very easily the best pizza in town...but EVERYTHING is good. Salmon dip is on point, you'll find yourself craving their orzo salad in the middle of the week, the tomato soup is fresh and delicious. The best thing though: consistency. There's never an off day here. Also, the bar here is a cool spot to hang out after a hike, and usually you will find locals here avoiding the tourist mob of downtown.

One of my favorite breakfast & lunch places in Juneau (they also do dinners)! Plan on spending a little time here, they cook everything fresh. Tiny little place, lots of charm, and when the weather is warmer, the little spot outside is great! I recommend checking out their freshly baked pastries and pairing it with a hot beverage to boost your mid-day energy.

The crab legs are large, succulent, juicy, and sweet! Best King Crab legs and the crab bisque is phenomenal as well! Only con is it's very popular for tourists so the wait might be a bit but well worth it.

Sit and watch the float planes takeoff and the cruise ships come and go. Sunny Day, sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view of Gastineau Channel. This place caters to tourists, and in the summer when cruise ships are in port, it tends to be very busy, but if you wait until about 8:00 pm, the cruise ship passengers get back on board and The Hangar clears out a bit. They have a bunch of beers on tap, and pretty good food. Probably the best view in town form a bar/restaurant.

Upscale Italian restaurant. Great handmade pasta and sauces, wood fired gourmet pizzas, good wine, classy atmosphere. This is an expensive place, but it's really tasty and they have won awards. (Note: Juneau is casual, even when it's classy, so don’t take the “upscale” part too seriously, just because its expensive doesn’t mean you have to dress up, but it's also totally ok if you do)

Distilleries
Distillery, Cocktail Bar. This place is one of my favorites, from the floral wallpaper to all the other tasteful flourishes, you immediately feel invited to want to stay for a while. As for their gin, it's definitely one of, if not the best I've ever had. Gins change day to day but in the summer, I love their mango sea donkey. They provide tasters, while you’re at it, pick up a special limited-edition bottle! Also, they usually do a bloody Mary bar on Sundays, yum.

Cool Bars
The only bar on Douglas Island - We really like this place. Mostly locals, good drinks and they have a sort of permanent food truck that has good enough bar food. Chill, friendly atmosphere, and in a lot of ways it's one of the cleaner nicer bars in town after being remodeled a couple years back (much to the chagrin of some of the old time regulars who preferred “the old Louie's”).

If you see a lot of cruise ships at the dock, I would avoid this place. Its a tourist trap, however, if you can catch it when its not packed, it's a kinda cool joint with lots of taxidermy and interesting stuff on the walls.

Located out in Auke Bay, this is a pretty “salty” old harbor bar. Rumor has it John Wayne used to hang out there. It's got a nice view Auke bay, and it's a cool local experience. They have some dart boards and pool tables, and a little restaurant with bar food located inside

Looks like somewhere you wouldn't want to go, but sometimes it fits the bill, especially during legislative season when the lobbyists, lawyers and aides can be found there. It's usually one of the best places to have a drink where the noise level is such that you can actually have a decent conversation.

The most popular floatplane tour is with Wings Airways to the Taku Lodge. Most of the helicopter tours include a stop landing on the glacier.

North Douglas Island is a short drive to downtown Juneau (about 10 minutes) and there are abundant walking trails on the island. Douglas Island is a tidal island, connected to the mainland on the north end when the Gastineau Channel is at low tide and can be reached by crossing the Douglas Bridge – a two-lane road that accommodates vehicles and pedestrians, connecting downtown Juneau with Douglas Island.

Usually thought of as two separate and distinct areas – West Juneau (South Douglas) and North Douglas – the island has many things to do in Juneau that are popular with Jeep adventurers, including the Treadwell Mine Historic Trail at South Douglas. The trail takes you to Treadwell Glory Hole, once the entrance to a network of mineshafts under the Gastineau Channel. A spectacular waterfall drops into the Glory Hole.
Douglas Harbor is reminiscent of wild adventures and insightful reflections. Wildlife sightings are not an unusual occurrence – eagles soar overhead, deer forage at the edge of the forest, and ducks crowd the shoreline. Curious young sea lions frolic in the coastal waters.
From downtown Douglas, you can hike down to Sandy Beach on the Rain Forest Trail. Sandy Beach was made from mine tailings from the historic Treadwell gold mine and is the only sand beach in the Juneau area. Nearby is the Island Pub on Second Street, which is a great place to stop for lunch and experience their amazing fire-baked pizza while enjoying an incredible view across the water of downtown Juneau.
