First time here, only because we had a gift card. We walked in & there was 1 waitress/bartender & legit not a soul in there. It was about 2:40-45. She nicely tells us they’re still serving breakfast but if we really want lunch she can try to “convince” the chef to start the lunch menu. Unless they were expecting an influx of patrons at 2:59 who want pancakes, I think it was safe to start serving lunch…we at least look at the brunch menu (on Instagram because we’re informed the menus didn’t print in time for the holiday weekend) & it’s pure breakfast food so she hands us the late night snack menu. We order mozzarella sticks & wait for 3:00 to order lunch. I got the California wrap but asked for the dressing on the side. My husband got the Santa Fe sandwich. Mine comes with dressing on it, of course, so I give it a try anyway but it’s spicy as hell, I couldn’t even eat it. My husband wasn’t enjoying his sandwich too much but we swapped anyway and it was a mess. The fries were so salty & soggy they were inedible. I almost wanted to send it back but I was afraid of the chef to be honest since for a measly 15 minutes we couldn’t order lunch. We took the half a wrap home but the to-go Tupperware we got didn’t even fit. I didn’t bother the waitress because through no fault of hers she was getting busy with people at the bar. When we left there was 1 other couple at another table. We knew we weren’t going to get a 5 star meal but still, a little pride in your food wouldn’t hurt. Won’t be going back.

Held out son’s HS Graduation lunch party & it was perfect! Regina, Anna and Nick did an amazing job hosting our family. 10 out of 10 highly recommend Dark Horse for private events and especially book with Regina, Anna and Nick if you can. They were superb!

Went today (father's day) as my husband was craving a burger and it was ridiculously delicious!! They always have good food and the bartender was really nice, and attentive!

Great spot to grab a beer and catch up with friends.

There’s a large parking lot in the back, and the location is very accessible.

I came here on a weekday for lunch and sat at the bar with a friend. The bartender was great—attentive but not overbearing. There was a solid selection of beers and a good variety on the food menu.

I ordered the Juicy Lucy and clearly struggle with reading comprehension, because I completely missed the part where it said stuffed with cheese. I was definitely surprised when I bit into my burger and cheese spilled out the back—but I loved it. Great pub food all around.

It was raining on the day that I visited, so I had my hood up while I was waiting for the bouncer to check my ID. I guess he doesn't know what rain is, because he couldn't understand why I had a hood on and asked me a series of questions about it. He then made it a point to tell me that hoods weren't allowed inside as if my plan was to keep it on after getting out of the rain. Guy was angry for no apparent reason.

Go Irish Boston !

Love High Horse and Dark Horse-first of all-they are very good with security at the doors, guys are tough and nice-then there is Gen-she takes care of private parties and is also an awesome bartender-always available to plan a party! Steve the owner is a great guy, hands on and loved by everyone. Food is excellent, cocktails are amazing! Price is totally on point!

I come to dark horse all the time and Connor is the best bartender he makes my drinks to perfection no matter what I ask him for he makes it. I have been to a lot of bars and have never found such a good bartender.

I hosted a surprise 30th birthday party for my girlfriend at Dark Horse and it was well beyond my expectations. The food was delicious and a big serving size. The wait staff was great and the bartender was very efficient despite it being busy in a 30+ person private bar. The price was very reasonable and well worth it. Thank you to the General Manager Gen Hurd who replied very quickly to my texts and was very helpful in planning the event along with any questions I had. Each one of my guests raved about how great the party was and I look forward to returning to Dark Horse. I don't get a chance to host events very often but Dark Horse really delivered for me.

Attended a 30th birthday party last weekend. Had a private room with our own bartender. Alex. He was amazing. Drinks were great and never kept us waiting. Super nice guy. The cocktail food we had was delicious. Genn, the manager, was the best. From the planning to the execution, she was on top of everything. Everyone had a great time. Would definitely be back for future parties.
