28 — Yamhill Pub

History by the Glass

The Yamhill Pub is a Fox News producer's wet dream. It's the grimy, thrashed, chaotic, debauched, unrepentant, undeveloped, iconically menacing "lowest down diviest dive in Portland"...and we couldn't be more proud. Established in 1933 or 1939 in a century-old downtown building, the Yamhill Pub supernaturally resists all attempts to categorize it or neatly explain it. Its history is unknowable, yet infused throughout the sneaky warmth and undeniable character of the place. It is, in fact, a neighborhood bar that gives everyone who dares an opportunity to be their most weirdly normal selves and is the type of place every single neighborhood in our city and yours should feature and celebrate. If you like the F-word, bar movies, unforgettable lavatories, obscure Seinfeld references, and confused middle aged suburbanites attempting to decipher modern day sex/drug parlance -- this is your episode!
