Of all the places to go in Morristown, this is not it. There's always a fight here on Friday or Saturday nights and the police know to hang around. But the real issue is safety. This place is dirty, and I don't just mean what you can easily see inside. A friend and I had our drinks spiked during an event. We came back another night to help identify the guy (we did) and saw him pour something from a small clear bottle into two drinks - right at the bar, in front of a bartender. We told staff, they shrugged and asked what we expected them to do. We confronted the guy as he put the drinks down on the table, letting the women know. If you care about your safety, skip this place.
There are a few bars in the area, that I can think of, that this would NEVER happen at, because staff care about the safety of their customers and bartenders are paying attention. If you raised even the slightest concern at some of these other places, a staff member is addressing it right away.

The posted hours are wrong. I went here last year after seeing a band only to find out was closed well before the started hours. I submitted an edit thru Google but the tavern denied the edit.

I went here w a friend on Weds for karaoke night and I thought it was a fantastic vibe and great people. The Staff was exceptional in my opinion, very friendly, professional and skilled. I thought Alexa and the other bartenders and music crew were top tier and I would definitely go back. Thanks for a fun night! Keep up the great work guys it’s much appreciated.

I had a terrible experience at Horseshoe last night while out with a group of coworkers and I feel compelled to share it. What was supposed to be a great night out to spend with our coworker who is getting deployed to the Military got completely ruined by this issue. I have never been to an establishment and experienced such a disrespectful and entitled staff in my entire life. I’ve worked in the food industry as well as a bartender and the way these people handled this situation was completely inappropriate.
Shortly after arriving one of my coworkers bought a round of shots. Immediately after the bartender (Jess) asked why she wasn’t tipped and if it was something she did. While my friend responded politely and said no, Jess’s attitude came off incredibly entitled and rude.. as if a tip is something she’s owed, not something earned.
About 10 minutes later, I tried to order a drink and was completely ignored by all five bartenders working. No eye contact, no acknowledgment..nothing. When I finally asked one of the other bartenders for a drink she snapped and said “So considering what you did, we’ve decided not to serve you.”
I was completely caught off guard by her response. I didn’t even make the purchase in question & I wasn’t the one who tipped or didn’t tip. I calmly explained this to her and she basically dismissed me and said “If you can’t afford to tip, you shouldn’t be out drinking.”
That’s not only unprofessional, it’s disrespectful and elitist. Then two more bartenders, Jess included, started chiming in loudly and aggressively until it felt like I was being ganged up on by 3–4 staff members at once over a completely fabricated issue. It was humiliating and unnecessary.
I walked away to rejoin my group and explain what happened and not even five minutes later a security guard approached me asking what was going on. I explained the situation and he said he understood but told me not to cause a scene. Then two more security guards came over making it seem like I was a threat when I was simply standing up for myself after being mistreated by their bartenders. I want to remind you I was in this bar for 15 min overall and this was my first experience at this establishment . After being mistreated and bullied I decided to leave the bar because at this point I was not at all comfortable with the staff and how they all went about the situation. As I’m leaving the bar I tripped on the step and the security guard following me out, as if I was being kicked out made very rude comments and started to antagonize me while I'm peacefully leaving the establishment which was extremely immature on this grown mans behalf.
Let me make this very clear: Tipping is appreciated, but it is not required. To treat someone differently especially someone who didn’t even make the transaction in question is completely unprofessional. And to be bullied and talked down to by multiple bartenders and security for defending myself is completely unacceptable.
I will not return to Horseshoe and I strongly encourage others to think twice before spending your money in a place that treats customers this way. There are plenty of bars in the area that know how to treat people with basic human decency this however is not one of them.
And just to add I’ve looked through other reviews and it’s very clear that management at Horseshoe has a habit of responding to every negative experience with excuses instead of accountability. So, I don’t expect a genuine apology or solution from them here either. The pattern speaks for itself.

One bouncer there has little to no respect towards customers and completely rage out on them for absolutely no reason. I have personally seen it first hand.

A friend of mine and I got together to get dinner. When we arrived we parked on the street nearby. We walked in and sat ourselves. Kelly was our server, and she was great! We ordered the chicken sliders and the shrimp cajun shrimp penne pasta. It came out quickly. My sliders weren't bad. I just were a little too well done. I tried the pasta, and that was good! I also enjoyed the vodka martini. All in all I had a good experience!
