The reviews mention that the saloon offers a popular shootout show that is exciting for families with children, though the loud blanks may require some preparation. The atmosphere is described as lively, with a bartender named Jessica who provides great service. While some guests prefer the nearby Crystal Palace, the Oriental Saloon remains a unique and enjoyable destination in Tombstone.
Another Tombstone attraction that had very little actual historical significance beyond having been repurposed over the years as a drug store, then restored back to somewhat of what it used to be like. No Faro table, just nothing really except some tables and chairs, the bar, and one small stage they do a show on (which isn't the worst show, but they do beg for applause a bit much). For having been 'Wyatt's saloon', the best part of the entire stop was hearing a little bit of back history on it.
The original building where Wyatt was a business partner. The reenactment is ok. I wished the bar served Johnny 1 dog Sarsaparilla to support their locals instead of the other brand the server.
Great bar, excellent prices (best on our whole NV/AZ trip) and a show that was amusing and fun for the family. I had my reservations at first, but glad we did it, added a lot to the day!
