Sour Toe Cocktail in Dawson City

This was a RIOT!!! We LOVED this place and the people we met! I recommend anyone traveling the Alaska Hwy, take a detour and hit this amazing little goldrush town. It has lots to offer just about anyone, not just amputated toes in a bevy 40 proof or more!
Rex, you should like this one, it's a toe and it's barefoot!!!! LOL!

Enjoy!!! Enjoy!!! Though it's gross, it's cool to be a part of history! LOL!

I apologize that it's taken me this long to comment but I passed out. I'm not exactly sure if that means it was the best or worst toe I've had the pleasure of examining but from what I can remember, it was well worth it. The pirate that you have featured in this video reminds me of me awhile back. lol

The "Pirate" ends his revolting severed toe gig at 11 pm and becomes the night janitor at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City, Yukon. (The very hotel he "performs" in.) He was great fun! Perfectly suited to play Captain Dick! We both loved him and find ourselves quoting him nearly daily!

After watching this can I say you have a foot fetish??? LOL!!!

5 stars

I had to get pretty sauced before I'd let myself get near that thing. And it really did stink to high heaven! Though I do recommend you give it a try if you're ever in Dawson City!!!

@lapdogwilly It was our own car that you left it in which caused a crack addict to bust the window to pieces and steal it. You can have all your stuff back you left behind including the certificate but you never respond to my messages.

lol

I left my wallet in a taxi in Toronto a couple of years after I worked here and was far more upset about losing my "sourtoe cocktail club" card than I was about the few hundred dollars in tip money that was in it....and my ex-girlfriend has the certificate in a photo album so I guess I'm going to have to head back to Dawson sometime in the future. I can't wait.
