Our Guestbook
“ They have a small - but good selection of beer. It's a small place but they have plenty of tables to pull out a board game (They provide) and/or you can shoot darts in the back (2 boards). Not too crowded. Just right! ”
“ I'd give this place six stars if I could. Paulie makes an excellent old fashioned and always remembers you, no matter how long it's been since your last visit. Chill atmosphere and great location. ”
“ God bless the Dark Horse Tavern, after a long bullshit night of wandering through downtown this place was still open late at night, got a couple drinks and was able to charge my phone to call an Uber home, honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without them this place saved my life that night. ”
“ My favorite and the only place i like on Washington St. this bar is very chill, personally the people I've meet here always seem to have such great taste in music(Indie that is). The bartenders are very nice, this one girl that works here that usually wears a beanie makes the best dos X with salt, simple dos X with salt but I am telling you they are the best!! I never get bored of coming here people are always friendly and you will always meet new people. ”
“ Nice little neighborhood bar. Doesn't take the ritzy, upscale look that so many places on Washington Ave try for (then seem to go out of business in a year). Bartender was very nice and the kind that would remember your name and your drink when you come back ”

“ Nice old meets new ”
“ Darkhorse stole my heart years ago and I can't stop coming back. This is a very low key bar, a nice place to hang out with friends and have some good conversation. The bartenders are super nice and Leslie makes the best Mexican Drive by's! ”
