i ate lunch there in when we decided to visit on our way to San Antonio. it was like going back in time. My Mom who is now 89 yrs young always ask me when is she going back. she loves the town as i do. people you have to visit you will come away just amazed on this great Historical town of Tombstone. can't wait to go back
Every year I take my daughter out for supper on her birthday. We travel extensively and just so happens we were in Tombstone on her day. I took her to the Crystal Palace for supper and low and behold if they didn't have on the menu one of her all time favorite meals. Pork Ribs with all the fixings! We enjoyed it immensely and is one of our many fond memories.
Many years ago when I was repairing and restoring old clocks and watches as a hobby, I visited an old guy in Tombstone, who was a town native, who had some old clock parts I needed. While in his old garage he lifted a tarp and showed me a very large old mirror and some ornate pieces of woodwork. True or not, he said they were part of the original Crystal Palace bar back he claimed he'd acquired many years before. Take that claim with a grain of salt.
Dad and I walked into this place in mid-summer 1963. Just the two of us in the middle of the day. We both took note of a groove in the top of the bar which extended to the mirror, with the bullet hole in it, at the back bar. The bartender proceeded to tell the obvious story. Some years later I walked back in and was surprised to find no bullet effects in the house and no explanation from the bartender. That was the year Dad & Mom and the five kids moved from Billerica, MA to Orange, CA. I love Tombstone. Wyatt Earp was quite a guy.
Have been lucky enough to visit this historic establishment several times on my visits to Tombstone. Love stepping back in history. Hope it is around for many more years!
Was there in 1958 with my Army buddies. On our way to play baseball games at Phoenix Arizona loved the nostalgia of old Tombstone!!!! Go Lester Moore!!
I was in one of the bars there and the guy told us the original bar was made in Africa and was shipped by boat and took a very long time to get there. It was made of mahogany or teak wood . it still looked pretty sturdy in 2003.
Best time lve had. Went for 1 day & stayed 5!! All the towns people were fantastic!! Especially the Bird Cage, Loved it! And of course Boot Hill. Must see all. Great time. Thank you folks of TOMBSTONE.
This is a straight replica of the Original Palace Restaurant and Saloon in Prescott, AZ. The Bar has been there since 1877 and the building since 1901. Doc Holiday and the Earp Brothers were all present during those times.
To Kimmie, and RJ, your history is slightly wrong.No fires in 1879. First fire June 22, 1881, second fire May 26,1882. Mines didn't shut down due to floods. An 1890's earthquake caused flooding, but huge Cornish water pumps were brought in to control flooding. Dropping silver prices in the 1890's caused mine closures. Pumps aren't in mines. They were giant surface pumps that were removed after mine closures. I wrote a number of articles about Tombstone, drove stagecoach, and bartended there.
In 2006, I was told by the people at the Tombstone tourism people that there were only 4 original buildings in Tombstone, The Oriental, The Bird Cage, Nellie Cashman’s and the Court House. Most of the buildings were wood construction. The low humidity dried things out and as a result, the town burned down on a fairly regular basis. The reason the 4 buildings previously mentioned survived the fires is because The Oriental, The Bird Cage and Nellie Cashman’s are all adobe construction, which actually hardens when exposed to heat. The Court House is brick, which is fire resistant. This does not mean that many of the buildings aren’t old, just that they aren’t part of the original town.
Adrienne Sega definitely a fun place! If you want to find some other cool Bars, check out our book on Amazon ;) Also we’ll be traveling to some other great places next year so be sure to subscribe! Thanks for watching!
Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favorite channle.:). I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant. 🌴🌴🌴 excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 from: Tombstone City Cochise
Had an American form of ice tea in this saloon on my Arizona 1985 holiday. American ice tea is just cold stale left over tea that has over steeped. Just yucky. LOL
Much of the 1880's Tombstone is gone, wooden buildings and gas light wasn't a good match. Much of what we are told about that time is distorted or straight up lies. Then as now it seems everybody has an axe to grind.
Yeah, found that out in Chicago and a few other cities about that time too. But that's why the places that are still around need to be visited and preserved.
It seems that 'progress' is a crutch, or perhaps a chance to value what we have had. The lives of people 150 years ago was not easy, but those dirty, smelly pilgrims were our families. If you have any grandiose plans get in touch with me, One Last Crusade, right!
great wild west town ok corral tombstone great history 1880''s so hard to live this town you no many people die every day because this is wild west justice

Tombstone for Wyatt Earp was a solitary place from what i gather he never really trusted anyone he was a lonely man Doc Holliday the Georgia dentist and Josephine Marcus were his only true friends his family were always feuding ... i know that the Earps were Republicans as was the governing body of Tombstone... the said cowboys/ criminals.. were Demarcates and thats what the gunfight at the OKCorral was all about.. political things haven't changed that much eh!..going back to my great uncle he ran freight trough to Tombstone all kinds of mining equipment clothing and a grand piano for the Crystal Palace Saloon ...yeah thats where Earp met Josi she was principle singer with a travelling theatre group the show was "The Pirates of Penzance" strange but Josi was the only Jewish person travelling with the Strolling Troubadours {{Hollywood have glamorize the whole story kill or be killed in those days {{ thing being the whole story of the wild west only lasted 30 or 40yrs progress overtook the cowboys/ boomtowns the railroad tamed the west not the Wyatt Earps of that era.... thanks for your posting very interesting.....Ed

Bill Evans we met some great people who retired there and did all kinds of great stuff. One guy custom hand made old, cowboy days rifle and pistol cartridges, another retiree we met was a blacksmith. Definitely not wanna bees. Thanks for watching - don’t forget to subscribe!
god how I agree with you ,I'm from Canada and been visiting Tombstone for 22 years and the first time I walked in the Crystal Palace and saw that tv I was so discussed,like who could have thought this was a good idea
Which part? The place where we said it WASN'T the original bar? or maybe the part where we said it was an ice cream parlor and bus stop? or perhaps the part where we said there was a fire? Or maybe where we said they RESTORED it? Get a life troll.
After years upon years of being utterly fascinated with Tombstone (the movie) my husband and I finally visited Tombstone about five years ago. We only had enough time to visit for just one day and one night as we were just passing through, but I'll never forget the relentlessly eerie, and unwelcoming feeling that we got while being there. The locals were all definitely nice, nobody was rude or cold - or anything of the sort - but the overall vibe that we had just being in that famously historic little old town that we had dreamed of visiting for years - just gave off a very odd vibe that neither of us had felt before or since we were there - it's almost inexplainable. Not sure how, what or why it was that we were getting those vibes - but regardless, we still love Tombstone, and we will always have only the deepest of respect for the history that is behind it. Anyways - great video!! 👏
Kelley Broussard Mackaig thanks so much! Yes we know exactly how you feel! There’s a weird energy there that’s really hard to explain. We’ve felt it in a few places we’ve been - usually a bar we’re exploring that’s reportedly haunted or something. But this was the whole town, including the cemetery, the Birdcage, everywhere. Glad to hear it wasn’t just us! Thanks for watching!
I've been to Tombstone many a time, love the history of the place!
I had the pleasure of bartending at the Palace back in the late '60s. good times

I used to live there. The patrons during a fire carried the bar outside across to the square
Was just there today! Great bar with great service! Loved Tombstone!
I remember too. I met you there. We banged.
Deff Bucket List material! Love old west history!
Was there in 2016 had buffalo burgers lovely had a great time loved everything in Tombstone need to visit again one day 🇬🇧🐱🐺🦊❤🌹

Love this video! I went to Tombstone about 16 years ago, and I have always wanted to go back.
Love this place!
Us too!
I drove to California in the 1970s made a side trip to tombstone on the way out west! It was a run down dusty town then!
A bit different. Still dusty though!

I want to see one of the original spitoons!
Fun to watch...nicely done. Want to try that rye whisky now.
Escape Pod thanks much, we’re glad you enjoyed it! Old Overholt is good stuff, definitely give it a try!
Awesome..
Thank you! Cheers!
1:42 isn't Doc Holliday...it's John Escapule...great grandfather of current Tombstone City Mayor Dusty Escapule.
They always get it wrong. I went to dodge and that photos is all over the walls of the casinos.
Awesome..nice to see a bit of American history..
Thanks Julie, hope you can make it by there for a drink or two! Cheers!
Awesome video. I'll be there later this month.

Well, you heard what we were told...
Our favorite place ..been there many times
:) That`s John Escapule at 1: 43 not Doc Holliday , just thought you would like to know !!!
the mines flooded and the town dried up... that, my friends, is irony.
Cool place. I'd love to visit!
That was great!
Well done guys, thanks.
Kudos to the current owners,!!.
Great video!
Great Video. I'm in Tombstone and Bisbee every year.
Brian Fuller thanks for watching! Tombstone’s a fun place and the Crystal Palace is a great destination!
Every thing kinda works untill you see the TV SCREEN .
How can you not know how many bullet holes are in the ceiling?
Where's the horses? No stagecoach?
I want to buy this bar and make it a starbucks
Lol
Modeled after “The Palace” in Prescott. Crystal Palace was the “Golden Eagle Brewery”. The Chandelier was in The Bar in Prescott.
@sergeantsailorman Awesome clarification, thanks so much for your comment.
Definitely going to have to make a stop there when I go to Tombstone.
Adrienne Sega definitely a fun place! If you want to find some other cool

Bucket List Bars nice, I’ll check it out!
If they're still silver down in those mines I'm sure with today's technology the pumps today should be good enough to get to the remaining silver.
Hi Kimmi & RJ.....thanks for the info in NM Denver Colorado.... sounds interesting...shall check those out guys "merci" .......Ed
the burgers are so good there.
I'd like to go to Tombstone to be a Cowboy reinactor , that would be so cool, but, who needs a 70ys old Cowboy?
That's what they call character! Do it!

I lived nearby 10 yrs ago and they played the movie Tombstone on it almost continually but the waitress's there were nice and pretty to boot !
Too bad it isn't what it used to be back in the 90s and before that time. It's overcrowded, rude tourists and self entitled people.
Almost NOTHING remains of the original ANYTHING-so this is pure unmitigated bulsht.
Which part? The place where we said it WASN'T the original bar? or maybe the part where we said it was an ice cream parlor and bus stop? or perhaps the part where we said there was a fire? Or maybe where we said they RESTORED it? Get a life troll.
