What People Are Saying About El Dorado

The Editor

Amanda Knoles

Citysearch

In Short – Formerly the seedy Hong Kong Nightclub, this hole in the wall bar with a neon sign marking the entrance is the type of place serious drinkers seek out when they're tired of cover charges, tourists and the Gaslamp club scene. The liquor is potent and well-priced, and the décor consists of a mix of vintage (leather booths, a jukebox) and saloon-style, Old West watering hole details. Trust us, the random, indie-hip patrons and the schizophrenic decor will make much more sense after a few drinks. – – – –

The Details on El Dorado

Where To Sit:

Pull up a bar stool and spend a few minutes laughing at the raunchy comic book pages lacquered on the bar top.

Know Before You Go:

It's not the kind of place you want to wander into alone. Go with friends and keep an eye on your purse or wallet.

What to Drink:

Bartenders hawk the house drink called Mojo, a sweet but deadly concoction of multiple liquors resembling Long Island iced tea.

What to Drink:

Try one of the specialty cocktails like the Mule made with ginger beer.

Happy Hour:

Stop by before 6pm for specials like $3 and $4 wells, drafts and bottles.
