The Scene
A pink neon "bar" sign and carved wooden bear mark the entrance to this dive offering the sedate Upper West Side the same brand of raucous fun as its downtown counterparts, the Patriot Saloon. Older, bearded regulars mix with concertgoers from the nearby Beacon Theatre in a setting that feels more down-home than big-city, with its beer banners, multiple televisions and a giant American flag.
The Draw
The super-cool chicks behind the extra-long bar pour plenty of cheap pitchers for the predominantly male crowd. Not that there aren't a healthy number of females, as evidenced by the bras hanging all over. Women are encouraged to dance on the bar and everyone is encouraged to sing along with the jukebox that's constantly playing country classics from the likes of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Willie Nelson. Hip? No. Chic? Definitely not. Just a good time for a no-frills crowd.

Yogi's will always hold a special place in my heart. There is no where else on earth (or at least in NYC) to get totally wasted for only $4 a mixed drink. They have pitchers of PBR for $9. If you are lucky, you get to see drunken girls get up on the bar and shake it to all of your favorite country songs on an old jukebox. If you are even luckier, you get to see one of the more infamous waitresses setting her nipples on fire. Yogi's is the divest of dives with a beer-vomit-mold stench wafting out the front door---- and I love it. Like other bars of its kind, Yogis will be closing sometime this winter. You must go there before then! It seems with the influx of modern day yuppies, all the dive bars are being driven out of town :(

I live across the street from this bar and its one of the best neighborhood places i've found! the bartenders are great, the jukebox music is awesome, and the "cowboy" bar feel is like a hidden gem!

Went here last night after a show at the Beacon Theatre. The girls working behind the bar were great fun and the service was excellent!
