The Liqour Store - Whitehorse

The Liqour Store

The Liqour Store: Yukon Beer!

This is not really a night club spot but obviously a popular activity. Buy your own booze and make your own fun in Whitehorse. It is obviously popular as this busker decided to set up shop on the front steps.

Now to my recommendation. There is going to be tonnes of choices. I am recommending you try out some of the local beers. If you like a light beer try the Yukon Gold or the Chilkoot. If you like an Amber beer try the Artic Red. Believe me that micro-brewing is popular in the Yukon and these beers are great!

Here's a little more on the Chilkoot Lager.

Decor at the Yukon Mining Company - Whitehorse

Decor at the Yukon Mining Company

Yukon Mining Company: Yukon Mining Company

Earlier I recommended the High Country Inn as the place to stay in Whitehorse and one of the main reasons is the character of the hotel and the dining and drinking area with heated deck also called the Yukon Mining Company.

It is great place for food and local beer. Be sure to try the Grizzley Beer!

I remember really enjoying the menu as well, it is in the format of an 1800's newspaper with lots of local history and price comparisions from back during the Gold Rush Days. You can see a copy of it if you visit the High Country Inn web site and go under "Dining".

Lizard's Bar and Grill - Whitehorse

Lizard's Bar and Grill

Lizard's Bar and Grill: Lizard's Bar and Grill

Lizard's is in my own humble opinion the best spot in Whitehorse. There is always local rock band entertainment, nice clean bar, lots of activity and overall a great place to have a great time in Whitehorse.

On a Friday or Saturday night it will be one of the best places to visit.

Motor Inn and Two O Two - Whitehorse

Motor Inn and Two O Two

The Two O Two: The Two O Two

The Two O Two is Whitehorse's country western bar. Everytime I have been there, there has also been local live country entertainment.

There is a mix of local people with tourist. There seems to be a good atmosphere, you just have to be a little careful like in any bar I guess.

It is helpful as well if you know how to do the two step a common country dance. I particularly am not that great at it at all, but it's fun learning!

Blue Moon - Whitehorse

Blue Moon

Blue Moon: Blue Moon

Blue Moon is a local bar located right in the downtown area. On arrival in Whitehorse a lady at the rental booth in the airport proceeded to give some local bar advice after being asked and she strongly recommended not going into this bar or a stretch of three or four others on the same small little stretch.

So ignoring her advice we thought we would see everything there was to offer. It is now my advice to skip over the Blue Moon as well. Like ever town you have your crowd. It is a rough bar, plenty of signs on the walls insisting there will be no drugs tolerated.

You will notice on the sign as well that is is called a liqour store. This is different in that in Yukon you can by what they call off sales or liquor to take with you from the bar mostly used for buying beer.

If your like me you'll probably still have to take a peak but I wouldn't get out of control!!!
