    Never again!! Too bad there isn't 0 stars! If you like a total DIVE bar with a bunch of local drunks....This place is for you! Very small, dirty, stinky. Came here for a drink to get out of my hotel room. I was in there a matter of 5 minutes. A drunk by the man of Carlos came up to me and started trying to hit on me. He kept repeated himself and trying to kiss me. No one even tried to help me. I became scared and left. I do NOT recommend this place.
    Next day... Found out by my driver....if you are a stranger...you are disliked...that is why all the locals allowed the drunk to grope me until I was almost in tears.

    growing up in fairbanks you're given the impression that the mecca is a scary bar that the local natives will kick you out of if you try to enter.  but then you get drunk enough one night and stumble in there after a delicious fancy dinner and drinks at lavelles and you discover a total GOLDMINE.  the place is so ridiculously local.  every time i go i see the same people and they're all so kind.  the juke box is rockin' the local native people are so cool and friendly buyin shots and takin pictures.  beware: the shots are full of monarch and STRONG but thats part of the experience.  last time i was there the sweet man in the wheelchair gave me a handmade alaskan necklace with ivory. so sweet!!  i love dropping in here before a wild night out.

    but if you're an obnoxious drunk that causes trouble please stay away.  i know this place has gotten a bad rep because stupid people go in there acting disprespectful.  this place is seriously like a sanctuary to the local downtown people and it should be left that way :)

    Alrighty!  I finally made it back to Mecca!  This time it wasn't in the dead of winter, but in the heat of summer!

    It was chock full of people from the Midnight Sun Festival, and was by far the smokiest bar I've ever been too...ever! :P

    I like it better in January ;)

    I can't believe the reviews to this point.  A dive bar that's too much of a dive?!  WTF?  The Mecca is the gold standard of dive bars in a town with some serious dive bar competition in a state with the world's foremost dive bars.  This is where chronic inebriates go to find people who make them think, "hey, I don't have much of a problem compared to that dude!"  

    The Mecca doesn't have some crappy San Francisco stance on dive bars like "We serve Pabst!"  The patrons here don't gel their hair to try to look like they didn't wash it, they really didn't.  Like for weeks and weeks.  You are very likely to get punched in this bar.  You will also meet a guy named Moses or Job or Sam David and his grandparents will have likely killed grizzly bears with stone tools.  Think about that for a pint and see if that don't bring your ego down a notch.

    If you want to drink and forget that your culture is gone and no one gives a rolled over Chevy, this is as 5 star an experience as I can recommend.  And it's pronounced "me KUH" so get it right.

    Karen got it right on!  This is a dive bar's dive bar.  In the 2.5 minutes it took me to suck down a Budweiser I musta inhaled a pack's worth of second hand smoke.  It is however the only place in downtown Fairbanks where you can buy a pack of smokes if you're so inclined but it'll cost you $8 bucks.  Oh it does have a pool table and i bet they play the knife between the fingers game late night.  If you're not a Stage 5 alcoholic you may wanna go elsewhere
