Airport/Spenard
Considered the "red light district" in the 1970s and 80s due to the heavy presence of massage parlors and escort services, this area has since witnessed a revitalization program that has cleaned up the area and brought in many new businesses. The closest thing to "bohemia" in Anchorage, this district is home to new cafes and juice bars such as the Organic Oasis. Some of the older Anchorage flavors remain, such as Chilkoot Charlie's, with its dirt floor and stump seating, and Fly by Night Club, which hosts musical and comedy acts. An old-time local favorite is Gwennie's Old Alaskan Restaurant, an Alaskan-style restaurant. New hotels such as the Holiday Inn Express and older ones such as the Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage and the Barratt Inn conveniently serve visitors staying in the airport area.Nightlife
