General Info
Over the years, this establishment has seen many changes. From a tiny beer bar to a modern Tavern, supper club and banquet facility, one thing has never changed, the people. The patrons who have kept this place alive and fun! The original building, called the Knotty Pine Bar with its pinewood walls, was built in 1946 by Anton and Felix Bowman. Customers bought five cent beers and five cent candy bars. From the very beginning, everyone knew they were welcome here. In 1971, the little beer bar was purchased by Duane Bohman, who named it The Fresh Country Aire. After a few years, Duane obtained a liquor license and a little corner pub was the home of the neighborhood. During the mid-70s, Duane worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and in 1989 he help scour the beaches during the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Through his Alaska years, Duane dreamed to build bigger and better in a 1997, his dream finally came true. With the help of many, he completely rebuilt the pub and added the dining and banquet halls you enjoy today.

I have been to Country Aire Just for drinks,One of the Best Bartenders in the area. I have also been there for Dinner I thought there fish was Great, I was also there for multipl weddings and food was good Buffet style. Now I go back for drinks more because I like the fun Local people.
The staff are friendly and courteous, the food is amazing, i have never experienced this level of dining at such an inexpensive price!
Food poisoning. Wedding guests (09-30-2006) became violently ill from food. Excellent service, good tasting food, but obviously a bad dining experience. At least a dozen guests (confirmed) became ill. Health dept. contacted.
