If you prefer to stay closer to home while still enjoying one of Fairbanks' excellent recreation trails, opt for Birch Hill's Blue Loop. The trail features close proximity to downtown and the Birch Hill Recreation Area is essentially an urban trail system. There is much to see along this set of trails that is especially popular with cross country skiers.

Primarily considered a locals bar, Fairbanks' Midnite Mine is a place to go if you just want to enjoy a few beers with friends in a nightlife venue that doesn't feature a big party atmosphere. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves, so if you are out with a group of friends but want to keep a low-key, less noticeable profile, then Midnite Mine is the perfect destination. A great beer selection along with a bit of a ramshackle atmosphere are what you can expect.
