The bar's interior, 2016
The Tivoli Bar and Grill is the oldest bar in San Diego, California, located at 505 Sixth Ave. in the Gaslamp Quarter.[1] It opened as a saloon in 1885.[1][2]
Between 1872 and 1885, the building housed a boarding house, a feed store, and a blacksmith shop,[3] and the nine apartments above the bar were once used as a brothel.[3]
The bar retains its original wooden bar and back bar, and the first cash register to be installed is still on display.[3] Wyatt Earp was once a regular at the bar.[3]
