Georges On FifthHours: 05:00 PM-10:00 PM The exciting history of our historic building begins after the gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, when Wyatt Earp rode into town with his new bride, Josephine. During the 1880’s, Earp ran a saloon and gambling hall here called “The Oyster Bar“, dealing “Faro“- a card game popular at the time - in what we now call The Wyatt Earp Room. Over the years, Wyatt Earp owned or leased at least four Saloons and Gambling Halls in San Diego. The most famous was the Oyster Bar, located in our beautiful Victorian structure, the Louis Bank Building. It has been reported that the owner was a distant relative of Wyatt’s wife, Josie. This was one of the better known and frequented Saloons in the city. One of the reasons for its popularity was that upstairs was a brothel called The Golden Poppy. The unique feature was that each room was painted a different color and each lady wore a dress the same color as her room. Today, our beautiful building stands tall and proud as the most photographed building in the Gaslamp Quarter. |
