The Duck Inn

Soldotna

The feel

The Duck Inn is a bar and restaurant at 43187 Kalifornsky Beach Rd in Soldotna, with a full bar, billiards tables and a bookable multi-sport golf simulator. The food is American comfort cooking in hearty portions, such as halibut fish and chips, Buffalo chicken strips and house-made pies.

The week has a rhythm. Trivia runs Tuesdays with weekly themes, karaoke takes over the Lounge on Thursdays, and Monday Night Football fills six TVs. There is also an on-site motel.
