Any success/failures getting bar seat at Yak & Yeti?

[branv]

DH and I have limited time for AK on our next trip. We'll be visiting there only a half day with meal plans elsewhere. But I really really want to stop for the pineapple skewer dessert at Y&Y. Needless to say, I don't want to take up a table for just dessert. Best solution is the option of ordering from the bar menu. I was just wondering how easy it is to actually get a seat there? Just DH and I, but it sure looks like very limited seating.

How easy was it for you to get a seat?

Can't say for dinner, but we eat lunch there every trip (usually around 12:30 or so) and we always eat at the bar. Done that 6 times now and NEVER been anyone else but us at the bar!!!

Wow. I've been to Yak & Yeti twice and have never seen this area!

I have eaten there three times at the bar. There have always been seats. People don't seem to linger at the bar, they want a table. I haven't been there at peak mealtimes though.

We eat lunch at the bar when we eat in there, have always got a seat. Now there are very few seats, so you can always take a chance.

Thanks, glad to read the bar is so accessible

I got there right when they opened and had the bar to myself!

Just as Webray says, it isn't a large bar area--maybe a dozen or so seats at most.

I dont' think it's even that many. I think it's more like 6 or 7 seats at the bar. Maybe I should have lunch there on Monday and count them.

You may be right. As I recall they are rather large chairs!!!

Yes, they're large and they're comfortable. sounds like a "gonna do" for lunch, I miss having a couple of Big Bamboos before getting on DME. Heard they've gotten rid of the pho though, so I will need to find something else to order.
