“The Lazy Lizard bar in ocotillo is a local institution. I've been coming out here for over 20 years and the bar, with the original owners, were running it well before I came out. Some people might call it your classic "dive bar." They have a decent selection of beers on tap and a good selection of bottle beers as well. Last I recall, they were also serving a low alcohol "margarita." In terms of food, it's pretty basic with pizza and nachos. Unless, you happen to get lucky and Rose is serving her famous burritos. There are a couple of pool tables and a couple of electronic dart games. Apparently, the Lazy lizard is part of a dart playing league. The place is kept clean, including the bathrooms. It's in California, so it's no smoking. However, they do have a outdoor patio. When my nephew used to come visit me, the first place he always wanted to go was "the Lazy Lizard." You can also pick up Lizard hat or a T-shirt, if you'd like. The Lizard seems to either be quiet or full. You may walk in there and there might be one or two people there. Or, on a weekend during desert season, you might see 10 cars parked outside. Just don't be intimidated because it seems dark when you enter. That helps keeps it cool during the hot season.Ocotillo has people that live here full-time and part-timers, like myself. I've always felt welcomed there. So, if you need a cold one and you happen to be in the S-2 (which takes you into Anza Borrego state park), take some time and drop in to the Lazy Lizard“
