Doc Holliday’s

I come here with my office softball team after games in the nearby park (only in this city would an asphalt square enclosed with fencing be considered a baseball «field») in order to take advantage of their «2 for 1» deal on Heineken cans. It generally results in about 30 – 40 cans of barely opened Heinekens on the table with a bunch of playing cards in hand to trade in for more.
DRINKS: the draft list is pretty basic, with maybe one or two «craft» type beers on the menu. I’ve occasionally gone for a Blue Moon here, but most of the time it’s a canned beer kind of night. With our team, that’s basically either Heineken cans or Coors tall boys.
AMBIANCE: it’s a dive bar. It has a juke box in the back, that is often playing at near ear-​shattering levels near the beginning of the evening, but is scaled back as the night wears on. There’s also a pool table in the back, which has made for many a fun night.
PRICES: again, it’s a dive bar. You won’t go broke here.
In typical Avenue A fashion, DH’s does the trick. Not my first choice, but I don’t hate it either. It’s either cash only or has a CC minimum. I’ve had to run down to 7 – 11 for the ATM machine before coming in before.

Walked in here randomly, it was country with a touch of honky tonk. Being born and raised in San Antonio, it was nice to find a place that upheld my childhood. My wife was slightly angry with me how I ogled the bartenders but overall a great experience.

I used to LOVE this place — it has really changed in the past year. It used to be a relaxed, non-​pretentious dive bar, but now it feels like a dive that’s trying too hard to be a rough and edgy spot. The bartender was pretty rude. In addition to being short with the clientele, she asked me if I was putting my drinks on a couple of older men’s tab who were chatting with me at the bar (really uncomfortable). Unfortunately, I probably won’t return after my most recent experience.

I don’t know how I only just made it here for the first time. I came in on a Sunday around midnight and was happy to find some actual Southerners. My friend whose from down that way bonded with them and we all had a great time. There was also a regular there who was happy to tell us stories of how things in the neighborhood used to be.
Bartender was friendly. Cheap booze. Pool table. Country music. Like anything else in the neighborhood I’d avoid it on a weekend but at non-​peak times I couldn’t ask for a nicer place that delivers exactly what it promises.

I love this place. Great prices with a nice variety of beers. Music is off the jukebox n they play some nice classic rock and country. The atmosphere is very friendly. I always have a good time

Christina is a great bar tender and an even better person. On a night when a friend needed some help she was more than happy to give us a few drinks and a helping hand.
Hard to find people that friendly in New York but she’s one of the great ones.
Want a cold one… come here.

How uniquely… exquisite? Is that an appropriate term for a dive bar?
Came here on a Wednesday night for drinks with a group of friends. Relatively empty so we were able to take a corner to ourselves. The place looked a bit dirtier (and I mean literally — dirty tables, etc) than I prefer my nights to be. Aside from the fact that the music is a big quirky (country mixed with… stuff??), the service is pretty basic and somewhat rude. But then again, this IS a dive bar; if you aren’t put off my at least two things then I don’t think it can classified as such.
Juke box, Big Buck, cheap beer, loud locals. Seems about right!

Stopped in for a beer. Unique honky tonk bar with what seemed to be mostly locals. Everyone was extremely friendly. Would return for sure!

Somehow, whenever I’m in the area, I wind up here at the end of the night. Cheap drinks, pool table, laid-​back atmosphere, and country on the jukebox makes for a good night. Whether or not you find seating is definitely dependent on the night, but I’ve been there on Fri/​Sat night and found a booth within 15 – 20 minutes. Great spot to grab a pint (or pitcher) and hang with friends for a few hours (two stepping if you have the space)

As an Albertan in New York, this place is my fave.
Country Music (mixed in with rock n roll), pool tables, cheap beer… Just the best. I heard Shania Twain TWICE in the same night, which to some people would be a complete nightmare, but to me is a total dream!

This bar has potential to be a very good bar if you’re into country music an a dive bar scene. Had a great time there until the bartender got so drunk an decided serving a packed bar wasn’t her job, she was texting or not even behind the bar more than she was behind it. Could of been my favorite bar in the City had that much potential.

Terrible service, bartender got so drunk she could not even stand up straight. Was falling into the bar. She was extremely rude and very unprofessional.

I love this bar. The jutbox, the cowboy boots stapled to the ceiling, pool and the cheap Rolling Rock. It’s a great atmosphere and friendly night out.

Solid old school dive bar! I finally made my way back here recently and really enjoyed it. They updated the entire jukebox with great country, rockabilly, and some blues CD’s. It’s an old school jukebox. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. The patrons seemed chill and laid back too. $ 3 Rolling Rocks at all times.

So this place is kinda cool, definitely super divey. Not exactly my scene but if you are looking for a crazy time to go out with a bunch of friends this is a solid place to go.

Didn’t stay long enough to give a qualified opinion, but sat at the bar, got a beer and a free beer, the juke-​box was great. I like dive-​bars (they’re becoming harder to find) and love country music… am sure I will be back for longer and when I do I imagine I’ll be upgrading.

Dirty. Dingy. Disgusting. AND that’s why I love it! One of the few remaining true dive bars in NYC. I love sitting in the dirty seats and wondering what it was like to be a New Yorker hanging out here in the 80s or 90s. Drinks aren’t super cheap, but not super expensive either. It gets pretty packed on the weekends, so get there early if you want to score a seat. Typical dive bar as far as drinks are concerned… come here for a beer or a whiskey on the rocks. If you try and order a margarita or some fancy martini, you will probably leave disappointed. But that’s what you get if you’re that asshole who goes to a dive bar and orders a cosmo. I will cry the day the sleazy landlord raises their rent to like $ 50K/​month and a Duane Reade moves in, but until then I will enjoy the filthiness of Doc Holliday’s!

Just your typical dive bar. Low-​key, nothing pretentious. It was crowded the night I went so as soon as I opened the door I got a whiff of body heat/​odor that took me back a bit. Drinks are cheap and people are cool.

Decent average dive bar, mostly a college crowd. they have decent priced drinks, a pool table and a good old school selection In the jukebox. Gets over crowded and loud on weekends.

Doc Holidays has been my go to dive bar for the past five years.
This Saturday I had an unfortunate situation that will make me never go back.
A group of four of us arrived late in the night, around 3:15 AM.
We each ordered a beer and sat down in a booth.
At 3:30 the bounder rudely came over and told us to get the F*** out.
We quickly pick up our beers to finish them and he grabbed the bottle out of my friends hand and smashed it on the ground.
He told us he wasn’t kidding and that we had to leave immediately.
As we stood up and tried to calm him down, he proceeded to grab two of my friends by the arm and push them out the door.
My friend woke up with bruises on his arm.
We did nothing to initiate this violence and I was shocked to have such an horrible experience at one of my favorite places.
Under no circumstances should the bouncer have been physically and verbally harassing customers.

Came to this place at a request from an old friend visiting from my hometown. Stopping at this place is like traveling back in time to college years at a Southern school. Just like in college:
–I got IDed at the door by a scary looking bouncer.
–Drinks are cheap and plentiful. People are mostly drinking beer.
–The music plays so loud that you cannot hear anyone else next to you.
–Many checkered long-​sleeve dress shirts. Definitely some coordination going on.
–There is a pool table in the back of the bar with a sign saying «This pool table is not for beers. Balls only.»
Nothing fancy, but it takes me back.

It was a cold Friday evening in New York City and we were meeting some friends at DH. I had never been to one before (apparently it’s a chain?) anyways, dive bars are my thing as I love the overly cheap beer and the underly dressed bartenders. We got in at around 10 and the place was half full (empty?). By the time midnight rolled along, there was a line around the corner to get in which I was really surprised about considering its really nothing fancy, and it’s not worth waiting in the ice cold winter. Now back to my experience in here, it had a good vibe, good mix of people but one major setback. The music was shockingly loud. You couldn’t order a drink it was that loud. I had to take up smoking outside just so my ears didn’t ring. Maybe I’m getting old but they need to reduce the volume notch by 20db or so. 1 star.

I have to love the places where whiskey is cheap. My friend and I stopped in to kill some time and then it was off to go. Divey, cheap and the mural from or ‘inspired’ by Tombstone on the side wall? Nice!

Have I never reviewed Doc Holliday’s before? OK, well, you don’t need to be told that most people’s nights end, rather than start, at DH. The long-​time dive bar has withstood the test of time (and whatever bodily fluids and other atrocities might have petrified within its wall over the years).
There’s a very good jukebox dispensing honky-​tonk country and rock and other outlaw classics, with plenty of Johnny Cash. Beers and liquor are cheap. You won’t be impressed by the beer selection unless you really miss college beers, but $ 3 Genny Cream Ale will keep your engine going.
If you’re 25 and under, this place will be heaven. For others, it’s a nice stop on the whistle-​wetting tour of your younger years.

Standard dive bar filled with college kids.
I’d come back if it were convenient, but if not, not so much.

Came here the other night for after dinner drinks. This place came highly recommended. As soon as I stepped cross the threshold, I knew I would like this joint. This place looks like a hurricane rolled through a garage sale.
The things I love most about country-​western bars:
1. No dress code
2. Random shit hanging from the walls.
3. Canned alcoholic beverages.
4. Old people that can be aptly described as «crotchety».
5. Be as loud and rowdy as you want.
6. No one judges you for being there before noon.
7. No chance of running into people with whom I work.
8. Music they won’t play anywhere else.
Doc Holliday’s fits the bill perfectly and is the quintessential neighborhood country bar. I only wish it was my neighborhood.

I am giving this bar five stars because:
I stumbled in there one night completely annihilated
I said something to the bartender (don’t remember what)
I made her cry
I got thrown out
I don’t remember what I said but the least I can do (seriously I can do nothing less than type for 75 seconds) is give her 5 stars.
I had been there once before less drunk and remember her as being a sweetheart
I wonder what I said; I honestly meant to say something nice.
