YUKON BAR

At over 80 years old , the Yukon Bar is a part of the fabric of Seward ’ s history . The City of Seward was founded in 1903 , and the plot of land that the Yukon sits on today was the very first plot of land purchased in the new city , according to local historians . Once a hardware store and later a liquor store , the building was constructed in 1904 , and it became a bar in 1942 . The Yukon has gone through many changes over the years , but it ’ s become a well-known and loved summertime music venue over the years and remains a vital part of Seward ’ s uniquely Alaskan culture year-round , with musicians from all over the state and the nation coming to play here and the legendary Mount Marathon Race finishing right outside our door .
