Dark Horse

Pretty cool bar in Boulder not downtown which is better but it was pretty crowded nonetheless.So much going on with their whole decoration you will find yourselves busy and entertaining just looking up the ceiling.Food and Drinks are good lots of tvs and seating areas to watch the game.Burgers are good.

This place is like Cheers (the TV series) for me. I worked here for three years in the 1980s and this place is so awesome. Definitely get a Jiffy Burger and fries with a side of oysters. Then, turn 22 again and the get locked in the liquor cage until you polish off 22 Prairie Fires. This place used to be packed to the rafters on Thursday and Friday and was still the most fun place to work after all these years. The decorations are pure classic Hollywood set items. You need to visit here.

Dark Horse, where have you been? Clearly right under my nose for 50 years and I was just made aware of your folklore and legendary Boulder status.If you know me, you know I love a dive bar as much as anything. Dive bars are for the people. For all walks of life. Where tempers flare, where breakups occurs, where you have one too many, where you meet a random stranger that overshares their life story, where you have meaningful conversations with those closest to you, etc.Dives are Americana in a nutshell.Though a transplant, I consider myself to be someone who learns local history to get to know the place I inhabit. How did Dark Horse fly under the radar when I've been to many of Colorado's longest running establishments? Who knows?! But I'm so glad a friend recently suggested a drink here.From the moment I walked in I was obsessed. It's a dive bar, but calls itself a bar and grill since they serve food. The building is decorated top to bottom in over-the-top and funky decor and antiques. Plus, the building is massive! There are multiple rooms to set up shop, each one stranger than the previous. It's eclectic as can be.To me, it was 5 stars the moment I walked in. Hell, all I had was a beer on draft and I felt like I was treated like a king. This is a newfound favorite for me in Boulder. A college town institution if there ever was one.Maybe I'll go tonight and get myself in trouble...here's to you, Dark Horse.

I've been frequenting the Dark Horse since my college days in Boulder. Such a fun, quirky, and downright unique spot. This place is really more about the environment and ambience than the food, but I've always had a good experience with the food! It's your average American joint and basic bar food, but this last time around I got fish and chips which were good and a good sized portion! The only thing was there was an odd cinnamon twang to the batter? My fiancé got the classic burger which was also good!

Stopped by after a long day of moving our son into his dorm . A block away from the CU boulder campus and boy were we pleasantly surprised at this gem. It's hard to describe the eclectic atmosphere. A must see. It's order food at one area and beverages in another . It was open seating when we arrived that evening and we tried a little of everything. We had the ribs plate and my son said they were solid . Well cooked and good flavor . I had a burger on sourdough and it was delicious. Ordered an avocado chicken burger and it was fantastic. We also ordered an order of wings and the flavor was fantastic but we love a crispy wing and these fell short and probably the reason it's not a complete 5 . If you're on this side of town this is a must see and have at least a cold beer . Check it out !

We were planning to watch the Rockies vs Braves in Denver for the University of Wyoming Alumni Day at Coors Field but didn't because the plans changed. Instead we went to the Dark Horse because of all the TVs. I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. The place has a funky decor and vibe. We ran into a friend and didn't watch much of the game. It was time for a snack and ordered a burger. The Dark Horse isn't a food place, and I didn't expect much. The patty was micro and the fries were cold. My friend said the chicken sandwich is better than the burgers. I'll give that a try the next time

Only my second time here. First time since 2013. Came here on 2/28/24. We were in town for a CU Basketball game. This place was pretty busy. Wouldn't even want to see it during a football game. Friendly bartenders. We sat at the bar. Ordered drinks at the bar. Then you have to go to another stand to order food. Had a chicken burger, sourdough burger and onion rings. Good for bar food. Atmosphere and ambiance are crazy. So much stuff on the walls and ceiling. Cheers!

We loved this spot. Such a fun vibe. Great bar, pool, video games. Food was great. Now I will be even more excited to visit my daughter, as her dorm is visible, and frequent this bar.

vibes are good. lots of people on thursdays and fridays. lack of gluten free options :( fries are mid not salty enough. chipotle mayo is smoked which we did not love. trivia was too male centric and slow. i did get free pickles though
