Welcome to the Wild Moose Saloon!

A warm welcome to all our friends, guests and patrons to our new website. It sure has been a long and cold winter here at the Inn, with lots of snow and ice to cover the ground outside, and much warmth and cheer inside. Laura has been cooking her famous Irish meals and along with some good ol' Alaskan food and drink, we've managed to keep a relatively full house even with the difficult weather.

Montgomery welcomes each guest with his usual snarl. For quite some time, we thought he was an ordinary cat, until he accidentally delivered what was a most savage bite to a patron one afternoon, almost severing a limb. It was then we realized that gray cats just don't get that big, and the cute "meow" was actually a snarl, and his penchant for eating everything in sight was getting to mean everyone in sight as well. So, we keep him well fed before we feed the guests, if you don't mind. Kind of makes for a less hostile evening that way. Incidentally, the closest hospital is 380 miles away by helicopter...in good weather. So our advice is never aggravate the cat... for any reason.
