Ketchikan’s Home for Dinner

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 historic working float plane docks and surrounded by the largest national forest in North America, Bush Pilots' Lounge was created to celebrate the unique way of life that Bush Aviation has fostered in Southeast Alaska.
