The first thing you should know about Doc Hollidays is that while it's got a nice charm to it and a really cool "old west" aesthetic, it is a dive bar. I just felt like I needed to say that because I think some folks expect a fun little tourist bar...and it's not. It's very much a local's dive bar where they can go for cheap, strong drinks.
I dropped in for a drink or two before dinner down the street at Pullman's-I came in around 7:15 on a Saturday and found a spot at the bar right away. The bartender took my order right away, so service is prompt, which is always nice. Seeing as it's an old west bar, I ordered a whiskey drink (Jack and Coke). It was nice and strong, but not to the point where it was hard to drink. Well mixed but definitely nice and strong.
I had two, and each one came out to $4, which I thought was a great price for a drink that stiff-I've have $7 Jack and Cokes before that tasted like water!
Doc Hollidays is a cool dive-y locals (not touristy) bar with cheap, stiff drinks, and a great bar staff. If you're in Glenwood and looking for a good watering hole or a place to have a drink before dinner, look no further.
Not sure if I went in during Happy Hour or not. But the mixed drinks are inexpensive. The beers are reasonable as well. The Ambiance and Decor is great with Dark Wood everywhere in the bar. Comfortable seating at the bar. They have really cool and funky tables that look like half of a whiskey barrel.
The Bartenders are awesome and attententive and never let you feel neglected.
I was kinda hungry so i went with the Green Chili. It came with Tortillas as well.
It was made from a Pork Green Chili. And had some kick but wasnt over powering.
Only thing that could of made it better, would be a dollop of sour creme on top.
The Patrons are awesome people, and easily willing to strike up a conversation with you. Theirs a Juke Box, Tv's and some Pool tables in the back as well.
The back of the menu has some history about Doc Holliday as well, and Artifacts are all over the walls.
The beer and staff were pretty awesome and the prices were good for the mountains.
We ordered some chips and guacamole. Jajajajajajajajajaja as we would say in Mexico. I'm pretty sure it came out of a can.
Aside from the guac that was funny more than anything else, this place was just fine.
Saloon with some good food. The atmosphere is dark but has a basic saloon feel to it. The service was alright, not overly attentive but she took care of what she needed to. The food was the high point. I did the rib-eye sandwich which was rib-eye that had been sliced thing with peppers and onions. It was very good. The onion rings I got with it were good as well. The beer was cold and at $3.75 a glass not overly priced.
Review Source:This is the kind of bar I seek out in every city and town I visit. Â A great blend of people from all ages and backgrounds knocking a couple back and relaxing. Â Loved it. Â They had a great tap selection. Â The atmosphere is appropriately dingy - just enough to give it character but not too much that you feel like you might catch hepotitis. Â Noise volume is also just right - loud enough to feel casual but not so much so that you have to shout at the person sitting right next to you. Â This would be my watering hole of choice if I lived here.

The Saloon: full of hoopleheads, hobnobbers, degenerates and the dehydrated.
This is my kind of bar.
Great tap selection, including a mix of micro, international and domestic brews.
Please note:
-Odd bathroom situation (Doc's for dudes n Kate's for chicks. The saloon door to the girls loo has no lock... be ready for some drunken visitors)
-The main bar is over 100 years old and was shipped over just to be there. I think it even has the original backing as well!
-decent pub fair as far as pub fair goes, I've had better, and boy oh boy, I've had worse. But, this is probably as cheep as it gets in the area.
I 'doc' one star because of the standoffish bar tenders on my last visit. I'm pretty sure I shower regularly enough and don't have any bubbling welts on my forehead that would suggest a high risk of contamination to enter within a 10 foot radius of the pulsating volcanoes... but I seemed to have been quite misguided by my mirror and schnoz, because both of the young female bartenders only came to my end of the bar to give me another drink (they were timely about it, so that's why it's only one star. Also, It did give me ample time to peruse my 'People Watching' selections. I could hardly make up my mind everyone was so fascinating). They spend plenty of time shmoozing the rest of the male bar patrons, but I fear my female chromosomes might have shied them away in fear that 'females don't tip other females'. That's just irritating and makes me want to deliver a swift throat punch. Chicken and egg I guess...
My Doc Hollidays experience prior to this was 100%. I had a great chat with both of the girls working that night, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I suppose if I was really in need of attention I could always cry, that works in movies right?
Regardless, everything else about the bar is glorious and will keep me coming back every time I am in Glenwood.
Stopped in here for some dinner and drinks before watching some UFC down the street.
The wife and I found some seats at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bar tender. Â We both ordered some beers and were given menus. Â They have a wide selection of food including the elusive Rocky Mountain Oysters in a platter called "Wings, Rings and Dangley Things". Â Ordered.
Along with that and a quesadilla, we were stuffed. Â Looking around at nearby tables, large portions seemed like the way they do things. Â Along with that and low prices, it's a welcome reprieve from the tourist prices you see elsewhere in GWS.
I'll be back for sure.
This place was absoultly horrible. I guess if you just want a beer or a shot, its fine, but make it a pit stop and keep on going.
My bf and I went there the Sunday before Presidents Day and it looked neat from the outside, with the huge neon gun sign. It had a cool, 100-year-old bar and had some kitsh Doc Holliday stuff on the walls. We sat at the bar and was asked right away for our drink order. My bf inquired about what whiskeys they carried and the girl could only tell us after she started reading off the labels. I asked for a manhattan on the rocks and the bartender had no idea what it was. I explained that it was whiskey, bitters, splash of sweet vermouth and a cherry.
Now, I am not saying I am some up-tight LA chick or anything like that, but I just watched in horror at the nasty drink drink she was inventing for me. She told me it was her first night, but come on; the bar doesn't have a cheap drink manual anywhere or some kind of guide? It didn't help that none of the other bartenders helped her, in fact they just ignored her. Not very professional.
I finally waved her down after she started mixing cherry juice, dry vermouth and water together and just asked for a shot of Jim Beam. My bf asked for a shot of Crown in a double glass and that was too confusing for her, so he just asked for a shot too.
Its a small town, so if you just want shots or beer but anything beyond that I would jsut keep walking.
Yikes! I'm certainly not as angry as N.B. about my short venture in there. Too bad some ill-behaved locals caused such an impression. Every town has idiots.
Anyway, I went in there looking for some Doc Holliday kitsch since they plug it in their print ads. However, they were just selling some t-shirts and shot glasses with their logo on them. Not quite what I was looking for.
I never did find any source of kitschy tourist crap in Glenwood...I guess the town is just too classy for pistol-shaped ashtrays and snowglobes of the pioneer graveyard.
