    Okay, this place was so cute! I love a good theme. So many thoughtful details to really bring the saloon to life. We stopped in midafternoon for a snack and some drinks. We got dirty fries, some cocktails, and a boozy milkshake. We enjoyed everything! Next time I will take ride share though because I forgot how bad parking is in Old Town!

    What a cute place! Blue velvet banquettes. Saloon style decor. Trivia! We had the best time doing trivia as a family. And we came in second place I may add. The service was good considering there were two people serving the entire place. I got a super watered down well tequila soda. But hey for $6 or 8 not bad. The salad was surprisingly good. Had a chipotle ranch and I added shrimp. I think I was supposed to get avocado with it but not sure. Fries were solid. The rest of my family got the smash burger and loved it. One got the plain, one got the peppercorn sauce and one added the egg. Every one was happy. We will definitely be back!

    The ambience was beautiful. The bathrooms were clean and staff were very nice. Food portions are good, and price is not bad based on the location. I would definitely recommend and will be returning to try more things!!

    We had higher expectations for this place based on their IG page.... Great concept. Cool decorations, music & chill vibes. Service was ok. Waitress didn't really check up on us & seemed like she was avoiding eye contact with her guests.... What we ordered: * Cowboy Chili - Tasted like canned chili & they forgot to bring our biscuit. Eventually they did & the biscuit was very tasty. $11.99 * Smoke Show - Smash Burger w/ pork belly. The pork belly had a freezer burn taste to it. $13.99 * Onion rings - Tasty. However they are a charged as a side. $5.99 * Purple Haze - $12.99 * Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake w/ shot of Frangelico - $24.99

    Really cute restaurant just outside of Old Town San Diego. We ordered the Vendetta Ride and Johnny Ringo and updated one order of fries to truffle fries. The Johnny Ringo was very good, as were the regular fries. Truffle fries were good, but a little lackluster in the truffle department. I asked for the Vendetta Ride with the sauce on the side, but it was served with the sauce on the burger. Also, I thought the mushrooms would be sliced mushrooms but instead they were minced up in the sauce which was disappointing. I thought they'd left the mushrooms off at first, and when I asked the server even he had to go check with the kitchen because he didn't see them on the burger. But when he came back he explained that the mushrooms are in the sauce. The dessert drinks looked good, but we were both too full after our meals to try them out this time.

    This is a great addition to Old Town. The new saloon look of "Doc Holiday" is absolutely a place he would've loved. It's got that warm, old-school saloon vibe -- lanterns on the tables, wood everywhere, relaxed but lively. You walk in and it just feels easy. No pretending. Just a solid bar with good energy. I ordered the JOHNNY RINGO (fried chicken, super greens coleslaw, hot honey) and it was legit. The chicken was actually crispy, the slaw had a fresh crunch, and the hot honey gave it that sweet heat that makes you keep going back for another bite. Exactly what you want from bar food done right. The SMOKE SHOW 13 is not playing around -- double smash patties, double American cheese, marinated pork belly, onion ring, BBQ. It's stacked, messy, and fully committed. Come hungry. And my cocktail was the Loving Man -- vodka, passionfruit liqueur, lemon, agave. Bright, refreshing, dangerously easy to drink. If you like passionfruit, order it. Immediately. Old Town needed a spot like this. It's fun, it's inviting, and it fits right in. Definitely worth checking out. Five stars.

    Great atmosphere and good service. We got here during breakfast and it was not too busy. We tried their burrito and Old town burger and they were good. Salad was not that great. Definitely a good restaurant to try at Old Town.

    What used to be a run of the mill taqueria diagonally across from the Old Town Trolley Tour stop is now Doc Holliday's. It's a bar and grill that's named in honor of a cowboy legend from the 1800's. The interior was redesigned to resemble a modern Wild West saloon. The bar was to the left when you walked in. A row of small two top tables was arranged in the middle of the room. The right side was lined with booth style seating. Two workers were staffing the bar when I arrived. A limited menu of five burgers, three sides, three milkshakes, and lobster mac & cheese was being offered during the soft opening period. Two of the burgers contained beef patties. A fried chicken fillet, tempura fried cod, and lobster cake made up the other three "burgers." A side of french fries came with a burger order. I selected the Moby Dick which was the tempura fried cod dressed with super greens coleslaw and caper remulad. I requested the Truffle Parmesan Fries instead of plain fries. The upgrade incurred a one dollar surcharge. I found the truffle and parmesan flavors to be intense on the fries. That was a good thing because some places apply a weak amount of seasoning. The cod fillet was fried nicely and served on a sesame seed wheat bun. Weekend brunch, steaks, and other offerings will eventually be incorporated into the menu after the full grand opening. That date is unknown at this time. For now, I gave a four star rating for Doc Holliday's as the $15 price for the fish sandwich and seasoned fries was a good value.

    Got the Smoke Show burger, the chicken, and a root beer float--every single thing was amazing. The pork belly on the burger was the standout: perfectly cooked, rich, and balanced, not overpowering. Everything felt elevated and very well made, not just standard bar food. Huge shoutout to our server Jeff--super helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the experience better. This place absolutely nailed it, and I'll 100% be back.

    Busy area, so Street parking can be difficult but there are also paid lots nearby. Had an issue with my food being given to another table, but the burger was very good once I finally got it. Very interesting cocktails as well.

    Love the cool and relax vibe of this place. Stopped by for a smart cocktail. Great pour and the bartender was pleasant.

    Margaritas
    Hunter S.

    I came here on a spontaneous date with my boyfriend. I got just rolled tacos and a delicious Margarita made by Jeff. My boyfriend got the surf & turf burrito, also with a margarita & we both loved it. Jeff was a super nice waiter, very respectful & kind. The food was delicious & i would love to come here again & try something new.

We walked in and found out that they have a strict age limit, which I discovered when they insisted on scanning my ID into a machine. I'm closer to the tomb than the womb, so I'm not entirely sure what they were expecting to find. But apparently, the machine needed to verify that I'm legally old enough to be there. Afterward, the bartender thanked me by name. My person who is closer to the womb than the tomb forgot their ID. It could have been Justin Bieber, or myself for that matter, but it wasn't going to happen. The burgers would have to be, to go. First impression is the decor is classic, and the place was absolutely immaculate. Later, I noticed the bathrooms were spotless, and perhaps most importantly, there was no graffiti on the walls. It's a class act establishment where civilization survives. There's a back covered patio surrounded by ferns, a great game room, and then the backyard where the food trailer is located. It was Sunday around 2pm, and while talking to the bartender, they mentioned that they had wings out for happy hour and the games. But I had my sights set on the Wagyu burgers. If I must say so myself, it was an excellent choice on my part. The patties were perfectly seasoned, and the toppings mixed with the Wagyu juices to create a delicious little sauce. I happened to have some chips underneath the burger, and they basically became the lucky recipients of all that wonderful burger grease. Very, very yummy. Walking around while waiting for my food, one can't help but notice that the bourbon selection is fantastic. While my person was booted, I can still say that all the employees were cordial, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. No attitude, no nonsense just good service. While it's listed as a dive bar, it's way too chic for that classification. I love a welcoming bars with great burgers, an excellent bourbon selection, and enough character to keep me coming back. Which I plan on doing in force!

This place was exactly the vibe we were hoping to find. The second we walked in, I loved the vintage feel of the decor. It has that authentic old-school saloon energy that can't be manufactured. A genuine neighborhood watering hole with personality - a little worn in, full of character & packed with stories. One of the best parts of our visit was the bartender, who also happened to be the third-generation owner. He struck that perfect balance of being super friendly & welcoming without being all up in our business. You could tell he genuinely cared about the place & its history. He shared some great stories that made the experience feel personal. We settled in for some drinks & soaked up the atmosphere.

Erikka had mentioned Oculto 477 as one of the places she wanted to check out after seeing it on Tiktok, so I made reservations as soon as they were available. I would definitely recommend doing so, as there is really limited seating. When one of our friends mentioned that they wouldn't make it in time for our original time slot, we made a quick change, which was easy to do online but we ended up losing table seating and got bar seating instead. Since this is a speak easy style bar, you enter into Tahona, check in with the host, they give you a QR code for their rules, one really important rule is confessing a sin. My friends are a little shy and not really comfortable speaking with strangers, so I said I would confess their sins. We were then taken into a dark space to confess and low and behold each of us had to confess. They definitely had to step out of their comfort zones for that. I was the DD so I opted for a non-alcoholic bevvy called the Humility, it had like an essence of mezcal and for $15 it was definitely more ice thank drink.

The place is not exactly hidden; there is a host stand near the entrance. For what it is worth, the parking lot next door to False Idol and Craft & Commerce should be renamed Butch Cassidy, not because of the entertaining movie, but because it charges highway robbery rates. We paid $40 on a Friday night. That is...outrageous. The menu at False Idol is long and delightful and the drinks are delicious. As far as I can tell, none of the drinks are blended, so sorry for you Pina Colada fans, which includes me. They also offer three mocktails. We tried a Mac Nut Chi Chi (macadamia based) and a Chi Breeze mocktail (also macadamia based). They were both very nice. I appreciated the detail in the menu. If you want stronger and boozier drinks, they are available. If you want something lighter, they have that, too. Most of the drinks seemed reasonably priced. The lighting and music were excellent. When someone ordered a shareable "bowl" drink, loud volcano rumbling noises played and the lighting flickered. That was fun. As a tiki fan, I would return, but I would never, ever park in that evil thieving parking lot next door again.

This would be a great place for a pregame for sure! They even have some food and seasonal soft serve other than their normal drinks. Overall, great service, strong drinks, and fun vibes. Perfect place for a pregame!
