I am biased, beware...but my love runs deep for Yucca! Used to live walking distance so I frequented the spot. Its a great dive bar to escape the "Mill Ave scene". Bartenders are always super friendly and fun & I love the electronic jukebox. There are always some interesting talents playing next door in the venue & sometimes I am really pleasantly surprised (Dry River Yacht Club was an interesting band who I ended up really liking).
I really like the fact that it is split up so you don't HAVE to listen to the music in the next room, you can hang out in a booth, at the bar, or play some pool. Small outdoor patio space along Southern if you smoke & drinks are okay too. The location might freak some people out if they're used to hanging out in Old Town or something but I promise it is quality fun without all the spray tans & hair gel. So many memories. I miss the shit out of Yucca! Go here & get a peanut butter cup shot-don't forget the salt.
