You can always tell when you've arrived at the Yukon. You'll see people outside not socializing but in love with their cell phones texting, playing video games or whatever. Inside it's the same story. No socializing. Texting and crappy stuff on their cell phones. A miserable group of regulars led by the bar staff to lead the way. Most times there's no bartender behind the bar at all. Or if behind the bar way too busy texting or perfecting a ways to ignore the customer. The bartenders are typically much too busy to tend to a customers order. Yet the regulars, many who never tip or even say thank you are put first. Some of them get served. Eventually. You can go thirsty in the Yukon even though the marquee outside says "19 Beers On Draft". I have no idea why the Yukon exists at all. Anti-friendly, anti-business, anti-human. The hand writing is on the wall: Good riddance!

The Yukon is my "local" as they say. I've been there too many times to count so I think my opinion is fair and balanced (ugh, I hate that phrase). I do have a soft spot for the old girl but here's what you need to know: Booze: beer is cheap and cocktails are stiff Food: the cheeseburgers are awesome--the high quality beef comes from the owner's farm, or so I've been told. The rest of their fried delights are typical but tasty. Clientele: young hipsters, old grizzly drunks, sad, middle-aged men and women addicted to the Oregon Lottery--just depends on the time of day, but generally a diverse mix. Atmosphere: the shag rug is a matted, helacious mess with the scars of 10,000 beer spills and cig burns. Just don't fall on your face! The red color scheme, crass bumper stickers and oil paintings of naked women make for some interesting distractions as you guzzle your drink. These aren't necessarily bad things. But my biggest complaint is the HORRIBLE, BRIGHT, UNFORGIVING LIGHTS! The inexlicable brightness of this place is a mystery and downright annoying. I've heard rumors it's to deter would-be ne'er do wells from doing anything illegal or some such. Phooey. Turn down the freakin' lights! We'll all be just a little bit happier. Bartenders: they don't suffer fools wisely but they're not rude. They just don't smile a lot and aren't there to listen to your sh*t and make you feel special. You pay them, they give you a drink--that's the arrangement. WiFi: yes, but get a table or a booth and avoid firing up your laptop at the bar--that's just rude.

The Bartender Michelle is hot and awesome!!!!!

Alright place to drop in and have a beer. Good happy hour prices and decent grub. Dont bother if you need fancy art on the walls to get your drink on. This place has been a dive bar for years, and guess what thats how it will stay. The worn shag carpet has had more beers spilt on it than you have consumed in your entire life. Suggested for the working class, sellwood yuppies stay away.

The place is rundown a bit but they have $1.50 PBR. It seemed to be a lot of regulars in there but the bartender was pretty friendly to us outsiders. Its definitely a dive bar but that's what I was looking for.

I don't know why so many reviewers have claimed bartender rudeness as their beef with this place. The few times I've been to the Yukon, the 'tenders have been really cool and on top of it. I guess your mileage may vary, but your attitude helps ;-) BTW, while they have a shuffleboard table, it's not a great setup and really shouldn't be a main attraction. Likewise, the pool tables are tiny. Go for the cheap booze.

I was not impressed. I read the reviews and went in thinking it would not be so bad. I walk in and its like its daylight in there. Its so bright that I didn't want to stay for one beer, but they had Mac and Jacks so I had to stay for one beer. After waiting 5 mintues for my beer I thought it was time to go. We drank our beers anyways and talked about how rude the bartender was to us. Then we left and headed over to the Jolly Roger where things were much better! If you can handle someone being a bit rude and really bright lights...then I say go for it!

Booze is ludicrously cheap here and it is a first rate dive. What can you say to a plate of better-than-your-expectations biscuts and gravy w/ a Bloody Mary for under $7.00? Load me up! That's what you say! Yes, the bartenders are not the greatest, but they'll serve you and after awhile, you'll be too drunk to care anway.

The Yukon is a small sort of local hole in the wall tavern. The beer is affordable, especially the PBR, and they have a decent selection of micro's on tap as well. The food prices are also good for bar food. There are multiple screens for watching sports, including a large screen. They also recently added free Wifi, which is easy to connect to, and seems to have decent speed. This joint is worth looking into for a few beers.

DIVE DIVE DIVE, but a pretty good little hang out. The bathroom was a little on the gross side for my liking so I didn't stay past 2 beers. After that point I potty too often to stomach that potty room. Overall though it is a great value for a little divey joint with a pretty good jukebox A-.

This place has some good bones to it, but the owner needs to funnel a little of his cash flow back into the establishment and spruce it up just a bit. There's only one booth, which I sat at, and there was more duct tape on it than naugahyde. Come on. Didn't notice any bad attitude from the BT, and the crowd was laid back. It's a comfortable place to duck into for a cold one, but what a difference a little capital improvement would make. But then again...if 90 percent of their clientelle order the $1.50 PBR drafts, the cash flow situation may be as bleak as the carpeting in this joint.

I thought the Yukon was rad. The bartender was friendly to me and shit, you can't complain about $1.50 PBR drafts. Couple cheap prices with a nice red velvet interior and a good crowd. I think maybe luger sat on the wrong end of a bar stool.

I can't stand it when a perfectly good bar is ruined by a perfectly asshole bartender. The people hanging out were cool, but the guy behind the bar was arrogant, rude and thought way too much of himself. I just wish some people would remember some basic customer service...and not think that they're better than everone else. I'm not the one makin minimum wage for slopping beer in a crap hole in the wall....
