The Stevenson Hall is absolutely beautiful and such an amazing place to stay.
The Alaska Travel Industry Association recently hosted a large convention in Sitka and our team needed a place to stay. We had the pleasure of being able to rent all 10 rooms at Stevenson Hall for 7 nights. It felt like a home away from home. The space was perfect for our team, we were able to have our own rooms but also had plenty of space to meet up as a team. The rooms were beautiful, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Not to mention the views from the bedroom windows were breathtaking! There are shared laundry facilities and two kitchen areas. It was such a perfect balance. If you find yourself needing a place to stay for a group in Sitka, I cannot recommend this place enough.
2. Stereo North Furniture & Appliance
Address: 342 Lincoln St, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
Bought this refrigerator for $40 less than Walmart price and $100 less than Best Buy down south. Great people and great prices.
Great deals.
Check it out
Happy to see that they still sell DVD movies
I’m not one for leaving bad reviews, but here we go. I purchased a 65″ TV on sale for $750 from stereo north without opening it and checking it. From there, I put it on a 58′ boat, on which it was wrapped and put in a safe place. We had a flat calm ride home, brought it into my house, and opened it to find it incredibly broken.
On my life, this TV was handled incredibly gently and with care. I called Stereo North expecting them to have at least an ounce of customer service following a nearly $1000 purchase, and was immediately met with hostility and rudeness. After being told this had NEVER happened to them before, they continued on to tell me about several different times people had claimed to recieve broken TV’s, all of which were apparently found to be “lies”.
I contacted Samsung to request help, and they responded that the TV should still be under the companies return policy, and I should be able to return it to Stereo North and get a replacement. I contacted the store, and they essentially called me a liar and told me that they were too busy and proceeded to hang up on me twice.
My mind is absolutely blown at the rudeness and lack of pride these owners have for their company and for their products. This TV was very clearly dropped or hit pretty severly at some point, and it was ABSOLUTELY not hit or dropped while in my care.
It is a huge shame that this was my first experience with this this company. I much prefer supporting local businesses, and had seen many things in the store I would have been interested in purchasing. But following this experience, I will personally never set foot in this store again.
Not one of store employees wearing masks! And the service was poor. Employees were more concerned with eating pizza than helping customers. If this were not the main electronics and appliance store in town, I would boycott this business.
Bought a speaker here and tried to return it the next day after having a change of mind. The older lady at the front desk yelled at me and demeaned me and of course did not consider taking the speaker back even though it was brand new in the packaging. I was genuinely frightened and resolved to never set foot back there again. Horrible place.
3. Blue Jay Music
Address: 410 Hemlock St # A, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
One of my favorite stores in Sitka. Great deals and great finds. Love it!
Pretty nice stuff
Always helpful and clean!
I was pleased to see that this store donates to a variety of organizations. The variety is somewhat limited but I enjoyed shopping there with my friend who bought a lot of stuff. I am giving it 4 stars because the lady working the front was rude and condescending about masks. I simply forgot to put on my mask but I was treated like a child and an idiot and if not for my friend, I would have left and given a very poor review.
Some incredible stuff gets donated here. Kudos to the community for just giving away valuable items. This is the only place in town that still has you wear a mask and it IS enforced. Come prepared or they will loan you a mask.
Quite a few treasures here and that particular something you have been looking for at a resale price. Don’t wait. They close early.
5. Odess Theater
Address: Fine Arts Campus, Richard H Allen Memorial Building, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
I received my package yay!! Really excited for what I got and due to an error in my address my package was sent back. I contact the company and they immediately sent me another package and with that a gift for the inconvenience I love it thank you Mrs Ruth you were very helpful
I recently purchased some of their Devil’s club soap from All about herbs in Palmer, Alaska. This is the best soap I have ever used. It moisturizes you while leaving your skin feeling clean.
Thank you for making such an awesome product.
Fabulous shop! I have bought my Christmas gifts here for several years. Very well stocked and every year there are more goodies. Terrific!
10. The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center
Address: 405 Sawmill Creek Rd, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
I cannot praise this company nearly enough! We found this shop while waiting for a tour, my son badly wanted a knife and anxiety must have made helping him very trying.
Not only did they spend over 30 minutes helping him select the best one for his needs, they very cheerfully geeked out with him over the minutiae of their stock. The owners demonstrated quite a lot of tact when they realized that he related better to one salesperson, and quietly stepped aside while she helped him. All of this *before* they could be confident of a sale!
I was also impressed with the quality of their stock quite aside from the gorgeous knives. Ordinarily I’m leery of larger purchases in tourist areas, given past experiences, but again the quality of their merchandise coupled with their patience, low key sales approach and obvious enthusiasm for their products I was reassured.
I really can’t rate them highly enough! 10 out of 10 stars, would not hesitate to do business with them again!
My husband LOVED his ulu knife I purchased him while on a cruise in AK. I opted to have my purchased shipped home and it beat me home. Everyone was extremely courteous and helpful!
15. WildFlour Cafe & Bakery
Address: 327 Seward St #2, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
Stunningly good baked goods and coffee drinks. Great, simple breakfasts too! Counter staff very kind and helpful. It’s definitely the place to go in Sitka.
I have always walked into good music, kind service, and incredible food. I will walk in having the worst day and be greeted with so many kind people. I then can sit and enjoy the amazing food they spend good time making so special for me. It just makes my day with the warmth and kindness they show to everyone. Grace is just an incredible baker and she has made the most amazing pastries. I can not eat any other pastry because they just do not even come close to as good as Grace’s pastries. It’s just incredible.
The coffee here is very fair priced ($5 a drink), with extremely friendly staff! The quality of the coffee drink I had (a Vanilla OatMilk Latte) was kinda eh.
Good food. Still stupidly and strictly enforcing a mask mandate if you are standing up. No worries though, COVID isn’t a problem if you’re in the seated position.
The food was good. I enjoyed the southwest chicken wrap. It’s a little pricy and pretty small for what you are spending. Restaurant, in general, was a nice, friendly place.
This place thinks it’s popularity gives it permission to fail at customer service. A simple request to have a breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs (which is on the menu) instead of a fried egg, and sourdough (also on the menu) instead of the other bread options is asking too much. I guess attempting to make healthier choices is not welcomed here.
crowded, stiff workers, no sign for business! next to subway. don’t bother.
find someplace else!
16. Highliner Coffee
Address: 327 Seward St, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
The coffee is good! The cookies are great and the bagel sandwiches are the best.
Smoked salmon bagels! Or a sandwich with spinach, tomatoes and cream cheese is one of the best lunches you can have downtown. A quick bite on the go and a great cup of coffee. If your looking for a slower pace they have tables. Chairs. Couches a nice place to relax and enjoy the nostalgic pictures of the fishing fleet decorating the walls. A highliner is a fisherman who catches well but is also of good character, a safe operator and proper demeanor. This cafe is popular for young adults to bring a date. Gentlemen, remember to seat your date and pay for the drinks a little chivalry and kindness is the sign of a true highliner….
Great Chai. Quick moving line, but care and time taken on your order. Sit back, relax, and Chai not to love this shop too much.
Excellent quick breakfast spot.
The coffee is ok but the food is AWESOME
Bit pricey compared to backdoor
Good place to get a coffee ND wifi
Out of business
I visited this cafe 4 times during my stay in Sitka in March, and all drinks – latte (double shot) and cappuccino, were weak. That was really disappointing because this place was my favorite coffee shop in Sitka.
I used to come this cafe every time I visited Sitka. But my last visit was 8 years ago. I assume something changed – management? They used to serve really good drinks back then… The interior is still great (which is why I gave two stars not one), but unfortunately, drinks are not satisfactory at all.
I will go to other great local cafes like Backdoor Cafe and Wildflower Cafe next time I visit Sitka.
Coffee was undrinkable. Better off going without.
17. McDonald’s
Address: 913 Halibut Point Rd, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
Only fast food joint in sitka, good for what we have on a small island…
I love the food and I have a favorite worker their. But what I don’t really like when I eat their would be bugs flying around. I love the food their.
Kid-friendliness: I love the workers there.
What’s not to love dining by the sea!
They don’t change the oil in their fryers often and I can taste the bitterness in the nuggets and hash browns. Eating at a McDonald’s back in the lower 48 just helped me confirm this. The hash browns taste so much lighter and better compared to the one in Sitka.
Same old McDonald’s. Old fries mixed in with the fresh fries.
Great!
Food is sub par, service is so so.
Fries always seem to be cold and condiments glopped on.
Its McDonald’s everyone likes McDonalds
18. Ernie’s Old Time Saloon
Address: 130 Lincoln St, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
Ernie’s is fun fun fun I came to work in Alaska and was hesitant on going there because I didn’t know what to expect. the dj there is great they play all types of music taco truck in the back makes me feel like I’m home in la , tho I am here in Sitka alaska
Beer Stop
Fun place with great people and beer.
Parry place, great 70s classic rock, fantastic and fun vibe. We tried the Vanilla Porter beer, very tasty. Got some Mexican tacos and quesadillas from a food truck outside, again very tasty.
Always a good place to meet up with friends for a drink.
Good vibes here. Very happy atmosphere
Extremely slow service even though it wasn’t busy.
Ridiculously bad! Worst bar in America
I went to the Halloween party and they wouldn’t play any Halloween classics let alone 2 bartenders to grab 100 people’s drinks, imagine that
19. Sheldon Jackson Museum
Address: 104 College Dr, Sitka, AK 99835 , Sitka , Alaska , United States
Worth the walk to see. Docents were knowledgeable and more than willing to share. As always there are to many pieces to exhibit. Display cabinets include drawers you can explore with many additional pieces. Well laid out
Unequaled collection of Alaskan artifacts. Good educational programs. Very helpful staff.
So many cool items in such a small space
Bonito museo solo algo caro
Интересные экскурсоводы
Great museum. Included with the tour admission price.
