Venue

Fairbanks first and currently only slow bar coffee cafe. It's about time interior Alaska had someone ready to give attention to coffee that it deserves! Each cup of coffee is made to order via Chemex of V60 pour over methods. These brew methods allow coffee tasting profiles to shine! They also have the Lamborghini of espresso machines, slayer. This is a manual espresso machine that requires baristias to know what their doing to pull quality shots. Kevin, who has worked at world class espresso bars in the lower 48, has the skills and training to go with such excellent equipment. They've only been open for a week and a half but I'm excited about the coffees they will be bringing in. Offering beans from roasters that no other cafe or coffee cart has in town will allow them to give you the best coffee experience in interior Alaska! Venue also is a great atmosphere for meeting with friends, reading a book over a great cappuccino, or just getting your caffeine fix. I look forward to Venue being the best cafe in Fairbanks, North Pole, and anywhere else in between.

Fantastic coffee and a great environment. Always a new interesting artist to find on the walls of the cafe

Finally someone in the US understands good coffee. The Venue gets it. Good menu. Excellent coffee and friendly people. They also have a gallery with local art on display and for sale.

A place to go if you look for a good black coffee. They do alternatives, too (tasty chemex from either beans they sell or specials they just happen to offer). This place is pretty popular - and no wonder. They do know coffee!

I waited 40 minutes for a pour over coffee.The barista forgot my order and then proceeded to talk on her phone in the backroom instead of promptly making a cup of coffee.

Expensive and exclusive.
Venue hosts First Friday art shows and they feature Alaskan artists in their shop. They sell Alaskan (Fairbanksan in particular), products and have great, expensive coffee. Clean bathrooms, courteous staff, and a relaxing place to sit and rest.

Decent coffee, acceptable but limited menu combine with a lovely atmosphere and interesting events to produce a pretty forgettable dining location downtown. Only truly worth it during a good event.

Best coffee in Fairbanks! My sister had her wedding here and the staff was extremely helpful setting things up and keeping the events running smoothly. Would recommend the Venue as a venue.

A comfortable, welcoming space - great coffee, staff and atmosphere. Always enjoy the new art and shopping for gifts here!

Great atmosphere!! Good service and coffee. If you're trying to chill and a have a good coffee go to Venue!
