Dark Horse Tavern

About this business
The dark wooden walls and dim lights give this place the look and feel of an old traveler's stopover, but the mood is lively and fun. Have a drink at the full island bar inside the front door or settle in the back to feast on anything from nachos to steaks. Better yet, take your party outside. The porch seating climbs up three floors and offers great nighttime views of the skyline. The basement houses a separate, much rowdier bar with live, local bands nightly.

hey, another college bar! – bad service, not too crowded when i was there (1/2 full) and i still waited 10 for a drink. place is okay, just no class or style. suited better for athens (u of g) than atlanta. just my opinion. worth a stop if u are in to picking up, but beware, every girl i saw was in the plus 20 range. (that's pounds, not years, my friend)
Where's the door – After waiting in line to go to what I thought was a cool non-buckhead hangout , I suddenly realized that "BAR" in buckhead most be owned by the same people. There was nothing but Dudes posing for the less than ample crowd of women. Two Men/Boys were urinating in the same toilet as I enter the inadequte bathrooms. "nice". The music was so loud and obnoxious I had to leave. Maybe that's why women don't go here. It's basically a frat party. I went back to Fontaines.
Music and Tater tots! What a combo! – Dark Horse Tavern is great for food. It's your basic bar food, but a bit more upscale. The hummus is great and the tater tots couldn't be better. Nice and crispy, just like I remember from grade school! The only downfall was the loud music in the restaurant. Jukebox volume needs to come down a few notches. However, heading downstairs to 10 High is great for live music. Nice, intimate venue with great live music. Seen several up and coming bands there and a few famous people in the audien... read more
Yuppies Unite – This is a pretty cool place to hang out at for awhile. The crowd can get a little too big, but then that just makes it easier to meet people. It's been a good place to meet respectable women who can actually hold a conversation.
Cool, but crowded.... – Everyone who lives in Atlanta between the ages of 24 and 35 should hang at the Darkhorse at least once. It is a cool place, the food is decent, the drinks are fine and the music coming from the basement can be good. However, be prepared to be totally squished and bumped on Fri and Sat nights...this place gets PACKED!!!! Not a bad singles scene although there seems to be a bit of attitude from those who forgot to leave their business casual clothes at the office or think that the Darkhorse is some kind... read more
Cool Crowd – I always have fun but sometimes it gets overly crowded. It can be a long trip to the restroom.
Girls are in the minority – The lack of females here means that if you want your pick of post-college frat boys with a bit of a beer gut, this is your place. If you can fight your way through the deafeningly loud bar crowd to the three-tiered back patio, you'll be able to pleasantly converse with your tables mates.
