Editorial Review for Doc Holliday's – by Sasha Emmons
The Scene
You have to love a cowboy bar in the city where you are least likely to find any actual cowboys. This joint, named after the famous outlaw, has everything the Marlboro man could ask for (except smoking, of course): cheap suds, manly stale beer aroma, weathered wooden booths, a jukebox full of honky-tonk hits and purty, wisecracking barmaids.
The Draw
If you're looking for a cost-efficient place to get hammered, this is it. Pabst Blue Ribbon is dirt cheap: well drinks come in at $5. None of the six beers on tap will set you back much either. Specials offer further hangover danger. Tuesdays are all-you-can-drink Bud Lite from 8pm to 11pm for $7 (paid at the door). Mondays, ladies are offered "free" well drinks and beers on tap for a $5 cover charge. For rootin' and shootin' try out the Big Buck Hunter Pro game console!

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThere's a buy-one-get-one-free special every day from 5pm to 8pm, but the regular prices are already cheap--cans of PBR are $2, well drinks are $4.50, Bud is $3.50 and imports are just $4.

This bar may have a bad odor and, from time to time, too many frat boys but... It is supposed to be a dive bar and was written up as one of the 20 best dive bars in the COUNTRY!!! The bartenders are gorgeous and fun. The bouncers are very polite and there are a few really good looking ones like, Johnny, Steven, and Ben. Steven is an amazing dancer and will not think twice about twirling a girl around for a good song. When Johnny and Ben are working you know you are safe. Perfect gentleman and very much the perfectionists on the job. And then you add the great juke box and cheap drinks!!!! This is one of the best OFF NIGHT places on the lower east side. Lots of locals and other bar staff from the area hang there, always a good time and, if you're lucky enough to visit while Johnny and Meridith are working, a non-stop comedy show... and they are both gorgeous!!! You definitely should stop by for some fun there!
Pros: Awesome staff, good tunes, cheap drinks, local hang out on week nights
Cons: Smelly at times and too many frat boys and girls on the weekend

Go to a place with velvet ropes and hair gel. This is a bar for people who like bars. You can drink whiskey and PBR tallboys, listen to good music, and mix it up with the bartenders. The bathroom is basically a stall at the end of a hallway and it's coed. I went at the very end of the night on a Saturday so it was pretty empty. I'll probably be back in NYC by the end of this month, and plan on going earlier in the night to take in the atmosphere. And I'll won't even think of ordering rum.
Pros: PBR tallboys, adventurous bathroom
Cons: nothing comes to mind
