red onion saloon brothel museum

Who else has a bed pan collection? A great little tour, it was $5 for 15 minutes (the same as a good time was had there inn 1898). It is upstairs, escorted, of course by a pretty girl in a bustier!

Definielt worth the entrance fee. The gals have a wink in their eye and some good stories to tell. I learned a great deal about gold rush life from this short visit. Mind you i will never see Lysol or Coca cola in the same light again. Had a ball thanks for memories.

The saloon is pretty nice and they have pretty stong drinks for a reasonable price. I ordered a seafood appetizer but it was soo salty I could not eat it. I sat at the bar and had a drink before I took the tour and the ladies behind the bar were very nice but after the tour I sat at a table to order an appetizer and the service was horrible. They girls were too busy showing off for the men to get tips and the app was horrible. The Brothel tour was very good, informative and fun. They explained how the system worked. They had dolls behind the bar representing the ladiesand when one was working they would lay the doll down until she was available again. They still have the original holes in the floor where the ladies would take the coins and drop then in the hole and the coins would go down into the bar and when the man heard the clinking he would lay the doll down and start a timer. The rooms are very small as well as the beds. The story of the wall paper was interesting also. The ladies when hired, got to decorate the room as they wanted so there was a ton of wall paper on the walls, some of it still there. The story about the madam was also interesting. the bartenders and servers wear brothel style attire. You pay to go on this tour and your admission ticket is a garder with the red onion logo on it and you get to keep it. Definately worth taking the tour it is fun and very informative

Well this was one of the fun places of Skagway. If you have kids - don't be afraid to take them in. There is nothing sleazy about the place. The staff are all dressed in character (but not bawdy) and they are all super friendly. The tour upstairs(while short) is well worth the look. The food is very good (probably one of the best meals in town) and practically the only bar worth drinking at. Great atmosphere and lots of fun. Don't forget to tip !! It goes straight down their corset or bra !!

A tour of the brothel was part of our "Best of Skagway" shore excursion from the Disney Wonder. This was a fun little tour with the madam, in character and costume, stepping on out tour bus and "sneaking" us up the back steps so as "not to ruin our reputations" should we be seen in such a place. It was fun and informative, with lots of original artifacts.

The entire feel of this place takes you back to a time when this was the center of the town. Staff was great and really plays the part.

Worth the stop for a drink or app ~ we enjoyed both after a shore excursion & shopping at the Alaskan shirt company. VERY friendly waitresses and fun atmosphere. Never did the $10 tour to see the brothel but if that's your thing, then enjoy!

The Red Onion Saloon in downtown Skagway is also home to the Gold Rush Brothel Museum upstairs. For a fee of $10/ you can take a guided tour of Skagway's old comfort ladies house which was the only place of debauchery during the Gold Rush days. The place is preserved well and the guide is very informative. I found it quite interesting as we walked down the rooms, the various pieces of personal belongings of the ladies who lived and worked there, the old photographs and a rare glimpse of what life would have been about a hundred years back.

This place is infamous! We stopped in for a couple of beers before our cruise ship departed and after a great train ride and shopping. It's a fun place to see and visit. Great service, happy people, great appy's and drinks. Go and have fun!

We didn't do the tour, but sure looked liked a lot of fun. A great people watching place....goods drinks and food!

An interesting combination - good beer and a brothel museum. The beer was good fare with a reasonable choice. We didn't eat at the Red Onion but the food did look reasonably good. The serving staff were dressed in costumes befitting the museum, some of which were very revealing.It is a busy venue, especially when the cruise ships are in, but well worth a visit. Allow a little time because service takes a while with all the people in there. There is an opportunity to purchase tee shirts and the likes to remind you of your time at the brothel.There is a small charge for the museum but entry to the bar is free

Had a wonderful walking tour with our guide, Lacy Knickers. The walking tour through town was at a pleasant pace with lots of fun and interesting history thrown in. The brothel museum is certainly eye opening. Great way to spend some time in historical Skagway.

We stopped by to check this out and had a great time. take the tours is very interesting to see how the working women of the time made their money. The food is great and the staff are very friendly.

Only spent about five minutes her as t was so packed. But in that short time I realized why this is a highlight of Skagway. It is a true step back in time to the Trail of '98. If this is what a brothel was like back then WOW!

Very unique setting! It was nice to see something differentWe had lunch there-it was extremely busy, but we were VERY impressed by the efficiency of all the staffFood was kept simple & tasty; menu well done; staff dressed to match theme and very friendly :)
