The Yukon
1592 Queen Street WestYour classic, dark dive bar. They play vinyl.
A Parkdale fave. A very dark dive bar. The bartender has a great, no-nonsense attitude that you've got to love him for. Good range of beers. Don't even bother asking for cocktails, the most you can get is a standard gin and tonic or whisky/coke.
