Old Encinitas



Horses hitched outside the Daley Double Saloon, c. 2013.



In other Encinitas liquor history, LCR sends this from the Encinitas Ale House web site:

  1. The Daley Double is an over-priced, over-rated cesspool. It is dark and dingy and smells like the restroom is always overflowing. I can't believe that people are so hard up as to wait in lines in order to enter this stench pit! Location location location - it ain't the ambiance!

  5. Imagine the lines and increased parking issues if it were a new bright, tidy 5 story bar. The drinks would be a lot more too. It's still got a few cool things they haven't and shouldn't change. The long birdseye Art Deco bar is amazing, as are the old wild west Encinitas mural oil paintings and the neon Deco marquee outside (that no longer could be part of a business facade). Not to mention the days gone by shady lore of the mysterious 2nd story. (Speak easy? Bookie Joint? Whore House?) Hard to get rid of that bowling alley smell that wafts into the street as you pass by though. But that's what generations of baccy does to a place.
