What players say

What a fun time! The band, Manzanita Blues, was great! We danced in a cool bar on a hot summer's night! We met up with friends and bumped into others. They had room for the band and there was a dance floor. And those that wanted to could play pool on two tables. Friendly place!

★★★★☆ Dave, Jul 2018

Great place for a cold beer and a couple of games of pool. The Staff and locals were all mellow.

★★★★★ Gaicomo, Jun 2026

Don's is one of the last real dive bars in Lakeside/El Cajon. competitive prices and very attractive beautiful bartenders. The more you drink the prettier they are. Karaoke on Thursday/Friday nights. and a decent dance floor to boot. Don't let the outside fool ya, once inside you will feel the bar's old school charm.
