Best dive bar in East County that I know of!And the best Bloody Mary! Yes you won't find a fatter, loaded one around. I had a place close to home, Mr. G's, but it's long gone now. This place is so cool I'd almost want to live close by! Because then I could walk home. Like all the bartenders, and barmaids. Great attitudes and no attitude if that makes sense. Live bands, no cover practically every weekend. It is a small place in a strip mall with a nail shop, taco shop, and I think a pawn shop. During football season they have all the games on and, of course those awesome bloodys and mimosas too. Can't understand why the place is totally dead at times. Let's put it this way, it is the type of place you don't want to leave once you're settled in. People won't hassle you That's what I meant by living close. Complete diverse crowd enjoyment also which I love. A little far from home but it's ok, you know Uber to the rescue! read more

De Oro Mine Co - My Bloody Mary and 5oz Stella 6$! - Dive Bars Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This place has huge potential. It's a great space. I wish they used the stage for live music (like they used to). The biggest downfall of this bar is one particular bartender. She's rude and her entitled attitude awful. "Customer service" is definitely a term she's never heard before. read more

Nice clean bar; friendly people; good vibes. It will probably become my local watering hole. I like to dance, so hoping for live band or DJ.

I have been to this place ONE time in my life. I was waiting for my nail appointment across the street and thought I would have a cocktail. Little, did I know, there was a celebration of life that pretty much, closed down the entire bar. Not one person, knew me or did they kick me out, or questioned why I was there. I was blessed with a balloon to release as well in memory of their friend . The bartender was the sweetest girl ever, and that is what I do for a living, so I'm not quite sure, why everyone is talking trash on this place or any human that works there. I will definitely be back into this quaint little bar on my way home. read more

In my opinion, a good relaxed place to come and enjoy a cold drink. If you don't like crowded places this is the place for you. Friendly staff and very open and spacious sp read more

Donita is the bartender that I know and she rocks , and the karaoke is fun. Also they have like three or four pool tables just a cool spot.

I came here with some friends to watch the football game last Sunday. I wasn't sure what to expect by the looks of the outside, but upon entering, it was pretty lively inside. The bartender greeting me nicely and served me immediately. Thank you! I went outside and walked around to see what other parts of the bar there were. I was surprised to see that it was fairly large. There was a DJ playing and a Raiders group inside. I also saw 49er fans, Chargers fans, Panthers fans, and more; it was a nice mix of people. There was also a nice mix of ethnicities there. I met the owner and his son, as well. Great people! I'll be back.. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures read more

There's a white bartender short and old who were arguing over personal matters when i walked in. I waited over 10 min for a drink. To break the ice, I asked how was her day and said she look very nice today and she said "your fucking stupid". While my drink was being prepared they continued there argument. Other people waited for their drinks, and I said to them something personal was happening. There's was a black lady with locks who refused service shortly after because I didn't tip her. When I asked her that it was not a mandatory practice she said plus she didn't appreciate me telling other customers that she was arguing with her co-worker behind the bar. Once she refused service and I spoke up and said it wasn't personal. She refused service twice and said if I didn't leave, she'd call the cops. That's when I decided to leave. read more

De Oro Mine Co - Dive Bars Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This is the perfect dive bar atmosphere without any of the intimidation. Everyone is incredibly kind. The owner came up to us just to say hello and take a picture to put up on the tv slideshow. It's very dog friendly. Our pup had no shortage of belly scratches from friendly patrons. Lots of games from pool to ring toss. Thank you for having us and we will be back for sure!! read more

De Oro Mine Co - Pretty good connectivity here.... - Dive Bars Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I got roofied here and I wasn't the only one that night. This bar apparently has a history of people getting roofied. After talking to about 20 of my friends who have frequented this bar, four people have gotten drugged and two others know people who have. If you go here, don't leave your drink unattended. The bartenders won't protect you. read more

Great neighborhood dive bar! The owners are both friendly and welcoming, as are the regulars. Football Sundays with Jason the bartender are GREAT!!! read more

For the majority of the time I've been to mine co I usually enjoy my time there but after not being there for a while I expected to have the same experience, unfortunately I didn't due to the rude bartender that was serving that night. Renita who was bartending that night had bad attitude, barely said one word to me and my friend other than if apple pay was an option as payment. Was served one beer that whole night and when another friend came and decided to buy us a beer she told him she couldn't serve us because we were "too confrontational." Mind you we haven't said one word to her the entire time we've been there and me and my friend was Speaking amongst ourselves. I asked her politely who were we being confrontational with and she just ignored me and walked away. Me being a bartender myself I understand how things can get misunderstood or out of hand when people are drinking but we didn't have no more than one beer and she still cut us off with no reasonable explanation. This makes me not want to come back if I'm going to be treated this way and for no reason at that. I've never been treated this way at any bar and its not the first time I've heard about this bartender RENITA being rude and horrible customer service. I hope the manager can fix the situation soon so shes no longer rude to anyone else read more

I just love the bar ! It does look sketchy from the outside but once your inside is great there's so much to do games & music the bartenders are so nice and fast ! Crystal is amazing good customer service ! Thank you read more

I decided to check this place out again (haven't gone since before Covid ) and I didn't have the best experience. the establishment itself is great and the karaoke DJ's were so fun but the bartender was the worst. She didn't smile once the entire night and she had an attitude every time I ordered a drink. Not sure what happened to the friendly fun staff they used to have. Hoping it was just a bad night. I will try again maybe on another night. read more

the best local bar in the area! heavy pours great beer selection with juke boxes and pool tables with plenty of tvs to watch the games . it can be a lil rough in the late hours ppl will fight but that normal, the service is great and always friendly apart from that and plenty of parking in the front read more

Just came here for the first time and had a great experience... Starting from the bartender Jason, who was friendly and welcoming. He made great drinks and shots ...Met several regulars who were also super cool to talk to and they played music which made it such a vibe . This is definitely a dive bar you need to come check out . read more

Bartender is dope and good mid week drink spot for sure. Never too loud. A solid dive spot for sure

Came here to see a band from Indiana called Chin Up Kid. No cover on a Monday night for live music? Awesome. Grabbed a $3 beer from the bar (Kona Big Wave) so it was a very cheap night. Seemed like a pretty decent dive bar if they've got cheap drinks and live music. Not at all in my neighborhood but if it was I guess I'd be drinking here more often. read more

Great Environment great time to spend with friends the owner is super chill you will be seeing me here a lot more

Great atmosphere' with great bar tenders! Sally took care of us and she was great. They have a jukebox for music and even had a live band on Friday night which rocked. I recommend for anyone looking for a good time and good priced drinks stop by. read more

We recently moved in the area and decided to take a stroll down the hill to check out the bar as we'd seen the sign driving by and as dive bar lovers, it enticed us. We dug the live music, friendly bartenders, and good servers. We have only been a handful of times (because, hiring a babysitter and all that $$$), but we would like to keep coming back when we can. We are both originally from the east coast/south and are big fans of classic, southern, and old country rock. This place has shown us that a couple times and we get our butts on the dance floor each time. Unfortunately, the nights we have...we were about the only ones. Doesn't stop us from shaking it, but would love to see some more folks on the floor cutting loose. We'll be back! read more

Fun place to cool off in Casa de Oro. Great crew, clean, and good happy hour. Live music kicking some butt in Spring Valley

The owners are sweet people, bar is well laid out with 3 pool tables, social wrap around bar and private outdoor smoking section. Next door Mexican restaurant delivers late night cravings and Wednesday Karaoke is always a hit. Occasional Friday night bands, calendar posted just within the front door. read more

Always a fun time at De Oro Mine Co. The bartender Wanda is so much fun and has a great positive energy. The bar has a pool table, outdoor patio that you can bring your drink in and karaoke on saturday evenings. They have great daily deals and their prices are great for nice strong drinks. The regulars are very friendly and the owner is really cool too. There's a jukebox you can control from your phone if you download the app. Overall, it's a great place to hangout. A couple food places on the strip mall that you can bring into the bar since they don't serve food. Parking is a bit tight but there's plenty of street parking. See you there! read more

Wanda who is the bartender here makes some bomb Jameson and gingers! There is ginger beer in it! It is a nice dive bar, with pool and live music which was surprising to me because I didn't realize it existed. Cheap drinks, fun people, pool and live music makes for a winning combination read more

This bar is like your side chick. You don't always visit, sometimes even forgetting to call for weeks. But then it's that night where nothing else is really going on and you're like, yeah, lemme see what's happening over there. And then you remember why you love that sh** so much even though you'd probably never admit it in public. It's different every time but you're always welcomed, treated so well, guaranteed to have the best time, and never spend a ton of money. Side chick for life. read more

New owners Came here for a retirement party. The bartenders are super nice and accommodating. Nice little dive. read more

De Oro Mine Co - Dive Bars Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This to me is the perfect neighborhood bar. -Drinks are cheap. -Crowd is diverse but welcoming, young, old, white, black, brown, or purple you're guaranteed to meet some nice folks if you spend a little time in here. -Cozy but refined, with nice pool tables, many tv's, comfortable clean stools, lots of signs and neon, nice tables and an awesome bar counter. -Smoking patio. -Owners and staff have always appeared welcoming, and make a point of getting to know customers new and old. -Specials for events and football games with free food, or soup is often is available on the weekends as well. If you're tired of local dive bars like Shooter's where most of the customers seem threatening, and the bar generally unwelcoming then this is an excellent alternative whether you need to take the edge off after a long day or you are looking to get completely turnt up! Also. I think they're going to start doing live music and karaoke soon which is generally a good time as well. read more

I liked the fact the music is always playing. A cool shaped bar, good drinks and cool characters. The bartenders are great. They have a new one and she has a pretty smile. I'll be going back soon. The pool tables are great also. read more
