I've heard particulars of why second hand but apparently there is a boycott of the F Street Station in Anchorage due to the way they treated a crewmember a while ago. I know that my pilot group is participating by not frequenting this once popular layover hangout...
 
Here's a quote from APC forums:

Friday night CactusCrew, myself, and a fellow UPSer(whom we'll call G) strolled into F Street around midnight-ish, ordered up some grub, and a few cocktails. Despite other posts, the bar was pretty mellow and not too crowded. Around 2am, G got up to walk outside to take a smoke. Out of nowhere and totally unprovoked some your 20 something punk blind sides our pal literally knocking his feet out from under him. The kid is quickly escorted out by a bouncer. I follow him out to figure *** was going on and expecting a fight. Some security guy shows up so I head back into the bar to check on my bud. He is on the ground, awake, but feeling severe pain in his lower back. One of the bouncers, a bartender, and an off-duty waitress proceed to get into my face and want me to get him out of the bar. I refuse and tell them to call 911 cause we're not moving him. They are trying to persuade us to leave because if they call the ambulance we'll "have like a $3000 hospital bill"

They then continue to say G is faking, smiling?, probably just wants a lawsuit, or just doesn't want to leave(his plan I guess was to lay on a scummy cold tile floor as opposed to walking 50 yards to his room at the Hilton). Prior to Cactus and I getting 'escorted out' the off duty **** of a waitress slaps me twice in the face. No BS! I'd like to think I didn't kick her skanky ass because I'm a gentleman, but I think being outnumbered around 7-1 was more likely the reason. I then find that 911 had never been called, so I call myself from outside the bar. Eventually, a cop and ambulance show up, police report filed, off to the ER we go. Deductive reasoning leads me to believe this kid was friends with at least a few of the employees in question, definitely a local, and why they didn't call 911 themselves. It was really one of the most unbelievable experiences in my life because of how we were dealt with after the event occurred. If G was being a drunk *******, I'd have been the first one to say so to him and everyone else. It just wasn't the case. Diagnosis was lower back muscle strain. No xray or MRI to date... If I talk to Danny(the owner), I'll post a follow up.

I've never met a bigger group of **************************************** than the staff at F Street station. I boycotted that place a long time ago.
 
Funny you guys mention F-street Station and fights with locals. Pretty much the same thing happend to me and a buddy of mine back in -01. Bet it was the same cop (Joe Sixpack) that showed up...
 
If you google "F Street Station" there are many local websites to give them ratings and comments. So far It seems pilots are just trashing the place with reviews and bad ratings. Keep it up!
 
F street is a dump.
Get some pizza and good beer down at Moose Tooth.
 
Do I even need to say it? Go to the ABC. Those who know...




But if you need to stay downtown the Glacier Brewhouse is my pick.
