However, the one that says Alaskan bars stand head and shoulders above bars anywhere else just might be true.

Nearly two decades later, he officially began conducting research on Alaskan bars that he found as unique as everyone believed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Guide to the Notorious Bars of Alaska\u003c\/em\u003e details the rich history and atmosphere of remarkable, one-of-a-kind Alaskan bars, many of which have been around since the end of Prohibition in 1933, and have become legendary in their communities and beyond as places to socialize, meet friends, come in from the cold, and sometimes as community centers or even as churches.
