Mad Myrna's Concerts

YOU GOTTA GO!!!! I been meaning to go to Mad Myrna’s because I hear about the spot so often from my friends in Anchorage. But their good words couldn’t prepare me for how fun that space is. First, the food — usually I expect bar food to take a backseat to the drinks or performance, but their stuff is the real deal. Their team knows what they’re doing. I had a grilled cheese that just melted in my mouth, it was that luscious. I tried the skewers too, which were also good! Second, the drinks — Not only do they look good (they have large glasses and decorate each drink according to their character) but they taste good too. The drinks were reasonable price, around $10, for something that’s both instaworthy and yummy. Mine lasted me the whole night, but I almost wished it didn’t just so I could try more — they have a hugeeee range of unique drinks with funny names. Third — THE PERFORMANCES!! Every single performance was incredible and wow, THE RANGE!! Each diva was so different from the last, but they all stood out in their own way. I understand why this bar takes top 3 in the nation! Shoutout to host Hank for keeping us all on our toes, his improv always kept us rolling. A few of my fav. performers I saw were Athena Nuff (most athletic dance moves and yes I caught that voguing in the end hun!); Krustyna Clown (she started with TSwift just to shock us when she transitioned to Queen Bey, and she is soooo good at engaging with the crowd, I had a few moments where I got to sing with her); and Dela Rosa (who sings LIVEEEEE and WOWWWW her vocals are heavenly). But, they were all amazing. And it wasn’t just the drag performers — even the DJ had some hosting moments, and while I forget his name, the person collecting bills performed and OMG. That was our. fav. set, when he came out as Ash from Pokemon! We went crazy for that one. Fourth - the atmosphere! I think that’s what made this place stand out the most. Everyone really went out of their way to make it feel like a community in there. And yet it also felt so effortless. You could tell everyone working there are just such good friends, and it translates to the entire bar. The host would make jokes or shoutout other folks in the bar, and they would have this great banter, and you could also tell there were people in the crowd who were good friends with some of the performers. They invite people with birthdays up to the stage too, and it’s clear how much the audience feels welcomed in there just by how comfortable they are on stage! Our friend got to twerk up there 🤣 even after the performance, the dance floor felt just as communal as during the performance. I have so many words to say (clearly) about how much I adored my experience there, but I will just leave it as: GOOOO! If this is your scene, you will love it as much as I did. Everyone was so fun, friendly, welcoming, engaging, accepting, joyful…all the positive things! And don’t forget to get that tip money from their ATM — you will want to spread the love.

I was not expecting the inside to be so fancy! It felt like we were transported from Alaska to a city full of night life. The drinks were great, the drag show was stellar, everyone was so sweet including the poor security guard who had to keep telling us we couldn't stand in certain places. The outdoor smoking area was fun, too. I will absolutely be coming back.

Bartenders here can make good creative drinks and not just pour alcohol. Food is equally good and creative (if there is a food special try it!) can get quite busy, love coming here early for drinks and food to go. Edit: the food. The food is *so* tasty.

Staff is always incredibly rude every time I’ve been there. Kind of weird for an LGBT+ community that stands for acceptance to be so hypocritically judge-y. It can be a fun bar as long as you don’t get offended by the miserable staff. I work at a bar myself and understand customers can get drunk, (cuz duh, it’s a bar) but even I don’t act like THAT towards my customers because it’s my job to be nice to them.

Always a good time at Mad Myrna’s!! Great service, food & drinks! Been to 3 shows and never been disappointed. If you haven’t been there it’s a must go and see for yourself. Place has been remodeled (looks so nice). If no show go for the food and drinks the food portions are so huge and drinks are great!!!
