The PIT — Restaurant in Dawson City

I came here from out of town last Saturday night, and went and ordered 3 jager shots. The best way to describe the female bartender that served me was dark short hair/half shaved hair, baggy t shirt and unhealthy weight. After I ordered the shots, the bartender literally yelled across the whole bar “ SHE DOESN’T TIP!” Which was very unprofessional as I have worked in the serving industry myself and also embarrassing/awkward as were out-of-towners and looking to know the city. After this, my boyfriend ordered the same 3 shots, and the same thing happened, except this time she yelled “HE ALSO DOESN’T TIP” as she knew we were together. We normally tip but being in a bigger city, we learn to tip and when not to tip.

This was a terrible experience at the Pit, even considering this was the place “ to go”. I would not recommended to go here if you want to be embarrassed by the bartender and called out.

You likely won’t find gold in Dawson, but rest assured something better waits for you behind these...

There are two different bars in one. The first side on the left was excellent. Our bartender was generous and friendly, and there was a great eclectic atmospheric inside. I would recommend going to the bar side. The second side on the right is more of a local hangout/kinda club and we did not stay long. It was like a cross between a club and a highschool basement party. They didn’t play dance music and if you weren’t a local, it wasn’t the most welcoming. I would definitely recommend going to the bar side, but the club side, which is a separate entrance, the average tourist can do...
