The Best Dive Bars in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Someday archaeologists will take core samples from the walls of this downtown Portland drinking den to chart the course of the city’s underground culture. A compact pillbox of a bar just off the MAX tracks, the Yamhill has been slinging stiff drinks to shift workers on smoke breaks since before the nearby Morrison Bridge was built. Owner and bartender Kevin Hill estimates the current crop of sticker graffiti is about six layers deep, and that’s only likely to increase as each new generation strives to make their mark on this Portland icon." - Ben Coleman
