Bush Pilots’ Lounge

Bush Pilots’ Lounge A swanky steak and seafood joint, overlooking a busy float plane dock in Ketchikan, Alaska. Perhaps a sense of wonder at our blessings here in Ketchikan.

Just over 100 years ago, a Curtiss Mf-6-K Seagull “flying boat” named Northbird landed in Tongass Narrows, just outside our windows. Ever since that first flight to Alaska from the lower 48, Bush Aviation has been a central part of life in these parts. Even today, with hardscrabble populations living in remote villages and float camps—often with no roads between them—bush pilots keep communities connected with supplies as well as news from elsewhere. Like the rugged Alaskan town we call home, Bush Pilots’ Lounge is perched on the ragged edge between rock and sea, civilization and wilderness, familiar safety and untold adventure. Overlooking Ketchikan’s working float plane docks and surrounded by the largest national forest in North America, Bush Pilots’ Lounge was created to celebrate the sense of community and way of life that Bush Aviation has made possible here in Alaska. Our hope is to continue in that same spirit, providing a place that fosters friendship and family around a warm meal. And of course, more than a few tall tales about adventures remembered and still to come.

Thanks for dining with us!

A great night here in Ketchikan with some of the Alaska First Media crew from the Ketchikan Media Center.

Alaska First Media owner-operator Cliff Dumas, along with Russell, Tracy, Jiselle and Mason, got together for dinner at Bush Pilot. Missing from the photo are Brittany and Devon, who were both a little under the weather.

A big thanks to the folks at Bush Pilot for the great food and hospitality.
