  My favorite spot to go while I'm waiting for my tires at discount tire. Friendly and fun any time of the day.

  This place is a goddamn dump, but if you live in El Cajon, it will be the dump of your dreams.
  
  It's not too big and there is Dale Earnhart and football shit allover the place. At the same time it's the cheapest place for a pitcher of Bud Light in El Cajon.
  
  The bartenders are nice, and they know where you are just as much as you know where you are; roll in grinding your teeth and looking for a fight and they will notice, roll in looking for a cold beer and they will notice accordingly.
  
  It's a pretty good time at the QD, only problem keeping it from 5 stars is it's cash only.
  
  HEY QD, ROLL INTO THE 90's AND GET A CARD READER.

  My husband and I decided to check this place out because it's sort of in our hood.  As far as dive bars go, it was fine.  We went around 10 on a Saturday and there were quite a few people there.  It was a good mix of a crowd (didn't appear to be just a few regulars like some of the other reviews stated), and we felt welcome and comfortable.  We played darts and ended up having to move one of the tables over a bit so we could access the dart board.  The group at the table was totally friendly and fine and didn't bat an eye at us for wanting to play and asking if we could move the table over about 6 inches.
  I made the mistake of trying to take my drink out on the patio to smoke, but the bartendress only called out to me and said "You gotta leave your beer inside".
  I nodded, left it on the shelf inside the door, and it was no problem.
  All in all, we enjoyed it, and we'll go back.  
  It's a hell of a lot better than most of the dive bars in El Cajon, that is for sure!

  I don't care if this place is owned by a retired cop or not...i got kicked out of this bar after buying a pitcher...just because i went utside to smoke a cigarette and one of el cajon random tweekers came up to me trying to sell me drugs...whoever the bar mom is should probably get some glasses cause that shit was straight funny...then again if your old this is the perfect dive bar for ya...

  Really clean dive bar, almost to traditional standards. Went there to play pool with my lady and we went in and got drinks. All the regulars stopped talking and stared when we bellied up.
  
  The bartender was nice ... enough but there was no room for a generous pour due to exact measuring.
  
  We played pool and drank for a while, sparked up conversations with a few of the regulars...
  
  The weirdest part it was quiet enough to hear a mouse queef! No laughing, singing, or loud jokes. I was by far the loudest person there, making the occasional joke. The only sound was the dull murmur of the regs talking about their upside down mortgages and their second cousin with the shingles.
  
  If you wanna get lost in a bottle at a very low key bar, this is the place. If you want to party, laugh and sing and spill beer, this is not the place.
  
  All in all I won't be returning just for the fact I felt judged the entire time, and was getting sideways looks for having fun.

  I've been coming here since 2006. I think it's a nice neighborhood bar that's clean and has very reasonable beer prices. They no longer have karaoke, but do have two pool tables, darts, and a couple of video games.

  Yep, the bar is owned by a retired cop, thats  a good thing!
  I have been there many times and never seen a cop around there, even at 2am! why you ask? because his buddy's (the Cops) have a blind eye to his costumers! they wont mess with a fellow cops livelihood!  makes since right!
  I have seen cops go in kellys pub and ask people for id's and hang around outside, that would make me worried! and at the coo coo club they sit outside and Wait for you to leave!!! Yikes!
  The Quarterdeck is a very nice bar! the owner is a nice guy!
  the bartenders are very cool! this is my new hang out!
  and now they have karaoke on Tuesday nights! Yay!
  lots of cute girls hanging out to! :o)
