There are two reasons you go to a bar.
One is for camaraderie. Â The other is to drink.
Doc is a drink bar. Â It's a bar you can go alone, or go with a friend, and just... get a drink. Â And barring a one out of a hundred moment - or you are idiot enough to discuss politics with someone who just polished off a very reasonably priced pitcher of beer (They have pitchers!) - it's a great quick hang.
And in Santa Clarita, where everything is a chain, this is a welcome thing.
Had I known a Yelp for Doc's existed, I would have written one a long time ago. I am a long time customer there. People know me as Rick, the guy who always has the "Jameson Bomb" Â (for you new people that is Jameson Whiskey and Redbull), seriously, don't be a puss and actually try it.
I've spent the last 7 years visiting this great little dive bar. Â I don't like saying it's a dive bar, but it is. However, it is the BEST dive bar that you will ever find! The other patrons are fun to get to know, there is always conversation with new people as well as completions with darts. My favorite? The bartenders and bar backs. Doc's Inn will surprise you with a wonderful Staff, Andi, Randy, Steve, and of course there beautiful and elegant European Czech accent'd Katka. Everyone greets you with a smile and makes you feel like you are part of the family the first time around.
Whether you are there for a beer after work, on a date, playing darts, or taking time out for shots with friends, this bar makes you feel comfortable enough to relax as if it was in your own living room. Â Because of this, Im a long time customer and always will be. If you can stop by, I'll always be more than happy to do a Jameson bomb with a new face!
You'll find Doc's is more than just a dive bar, its a community family (dysfunctional at times like most families, but still a family in its own right!) Hope to see you there!
