Review by Lina M.

Dark Horse is a true Boulder institution, blending eclectic decor with a lively atmosphere. The burgers are a standout - juicy and flavorful, perfect for a satisfying lunch. The self-service setup adds a casual vibe, though it might not suit everyone. I appreciated the interesting historical touches around the place, from carriages to quirky signage. Great cocktails and friendly service make it an ideal spot for catching some live music or a game. Just be prepared for a busy scene on weekends! 🍔
