We stopped in for a beer and snack after our train tour and found this spot to be fun. There were not many places open (late season) but no need to look elsewhere. Our server, dressed in full salon girl garb, recommended a couple of different beers and we added the chips, salsa and guacamole for a snack. What a pleasant surprise! They were better than most Mexican restaurants I've been to. And despite the crowd, our server kept coming back frequently to check on us and get us another beer. I loved the cool look of the place and wish we had gotten there early enough for a brothel tour.

The historic Red Onion Saloon is quite a favorite place to visit. It was built in 1897 during the height of the Gold Rush and operated as one of the finest Bordellos in town. Today it’s a restaurant and a brothel museum offering a fascinating insight into the past! The staff dress up as “working girls” from the period, serving food, drinks and offering tours. Worth a visit.

We had an amazing escorted tour of the town and a humorous history lesson on the historical working class brothel scene presented to us by Trixie. She was a really good communicator who held our attention. We later visited the Saloon and viewed the museum as well as enjoyed a drink in an atmospheric fun environment.

Very interesting informative tour, about what went on “upstairs” in The Red Onion Saloon, facilitated by the very knowledgeable Madame Tilly. She was knowledgeable , funny but also sensitive to the situation of the working women of the time. A visit that we would definitely recommend.

The tour guide “Shirley Wood” was amazing!!! She made you actually feel like you were back in the gold rush era and can empathize what the working girls from the brothel had to endure…she had incredible energy and made the walking tour experience pleasurably memorable. I recommend this tour and if at all possible make sure you request Shirley!!! She made it so enjoyable!!!

The saloon was a fascinating place to see. Even if you just have a drink there is a lot of history on the walls. The staff all play their part to historically represent the Gold Rush times. I particularly enjoyed the tour that provided insight into a history of brothels at the time. They did a wonderful job preserving the past and sharing many fascinating stories about the women who once lived here. Despite the intense hardships that they faced some of them found a way to be entrepreneurs and leaders in their communities. I would highly recommend it.

Be prepared for fun. I went with Madam Belle Daball and she has some great energy. They tell you a lot about the history of the town that's both good and bad. It is the only woman owned and ran business and I would go back and do it in a heart beat. You are walking through town and be prepared to become a lady of the night by the end.

This place is awesome! The food is fabulous, but the tour of the brothel is not to be missed! In fact, if you have time, book one of their 2-hour walking tours. You will see the town of Skagway Alaska as it was in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The guides are funny, sassy, helpful and so knowledgeable. I can't recommend it enough! Special shoutout to Madam Wilma Loveall - she answered all our questions and told some really touching tales of the women of the west (and the men too). Loved it!

I was most looking forward to going on the Brothel Museum Tour while I was in Skagway, and it did not disappoint. It was fascinating to see what a brothel looked like and how it operated 125 years ago. And our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. The best 20 minutes you will spend in Skagway--at least in public.

This museum tour gives you a wonderful insight into the life of the working women during the gold rush times in remote towns like Skagway. Our madam was very informative about their lives in this brothel. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
