We stopped at the Crystal Palace for a drink and a look around. I have to say that the wooden bar itself was very, very impressive! The problem was that it was so dark inside you could hardly see it. We had to buy a post card to be able to appreciate its beauty. The rest of the decor, however, was sadly lacking. When you see such a beautiful old bar you would expect the rest of the place to be just as interesting, but the walls were barren. There was only one interesting display cabinet and it was all the way at the back of the bar. It was a real let down. The place really needed more light and decorations. It is obviously not trying to impress the tourists, even though it sits on the main drag of Tombstone. People come there to see an old west theme, and unfortunately Big Nose Kate's across the street does a much better job of creating an old west atmosphere. The Crystal Palace has tremendous potential if someone would just put a little thought into dressing up the place.
