Mad Myrnas

Alaska's premier LGBTQ+ nightclub celebrating 25+ years with drag shows, handmade food, and inclusive community atmosphere

Description

Mad Myrna's has proudly served as Alaska's premier LGBTQ+ nightclub and entertainment venue for over 25 years, establishing itself since 1998 as an essential cornerstone of Anchorage's inclusive nightlife scene. Located at 530 E 5th Avenue in downtown Anchorage, this beloved "gaystablishment" combines the warmth of community gathering with the excitement of world-class entertainment, creating a uniquely welcoming space in the Last Frontier.

The venue's exterior may appear unassuming in its beige building, but stepping inside reveals a glittering, swanky lounge atmosphere that has undergone major renovations to create an upscale experience. Mad Myrna's operates as both full-service restaurant and nightclub, serving fresh, handmade food including made-from-scratch appetizers, entrees, and pizzas that pair perfectly with their renowned creative cocktail menu. The kitchen stays open late, accommodating the night owl crowd with favorites like Diva balls and specialty skewers.

The crown jewel of Mad Myrna's entertainment is their acclaimed Diva Variety Show, featuring spectacular drag performances every Friday and Saturday at 9 PM that rival anything found in major metropolitan areas. These all-inclusive shows showcase talented local and touring performers in an atmosphere of celebration and acceptance. Beyond weekend shows, the venue offers karaoke seven nights a week, DJ sets on the spacious dance floor, comfortable lounge seating, and a cozy outdoor patio for year-round enjoyment.

More than just a nightclub, Mad Myrna's serves as a vital cultural hub hosting dozens of LGBTQ+ community events throughout the year, from Pride celebrations to fundraisers supporting local causes. The venue's 21+ environment maintains a sophisticated atmosphere while fostering the inclusive, celebratory spirit that has made it a beacon of acceptance in Anchorage for over a quarter-century. Whether you're seeking exceptional entertainment, delicious food, creative cocktails, or simply a place where everyone can be authentically themselves, Mad Myrna's continues its tradition of bringing fabulousness to Alaska.
