Dark Horse is a solid step up from your average local bar. Their house beers are very popular. The food is also really good - it's not just stereotypical "bar food". I've have their pizza a couple of times and highly recommend it! The restaurant itself is kind of small, which means it can feel a bit crowded some nights. One fun aspect of Dark Horse, however, is that the walls (and ceilings!) are lined with custom mugs, each belonging to a Dark Horse regular. This gives the bar a special charm that makes it feel unique. Something to note is that the service can be pretty slow when they're busy. read more

Dark Horse Brewing Company - Custom large pizzas - Breweries Near Me - Marshall, Michigan

Everyone knows to go to Dark Horse for good times in the beer garden, they have grown from a small brewery with food to know having so much more. I feel that somehow their food is overlooked and should not be. They have a great menu. My favorite, all of their pizza selections. They have offered pizza for years, but I have recently discovered their Detroit style pizza. What a game changer! I grew up on Buddy's Pizza and the Dark Horse version might be better. Check out all of the fun events because there is something for everyone. read more

The beer is good! Never ate there. Sort of an odd set up. A cute store across the parking lot read more

A must stop in Marshall. Delicious beers, some of the best in the area. There's a smaller bar inside, a barn area out front with my seating and space- as well as an outdoor bar area in the back. The food looked delicious- although we didn't order any. But those pizzas... don't sleep on them. Great service and friendly staff despite being super busy. read more

Cool vibe, friendly staff, good food and of course great beer! The beer garden is a large space for relaxing with friends, playing yard games and having a cold one during the warmer months. When it's cold, the brewery is cozy! DHBC is part of Roak Brewing now so not only do they have their usual delicious sips but also some Roak ones now! Plenty of choices for any style beer enthusiast. Love love love anything with the brisket from the menu. read more

Dark Horse Brewing Company was unfortunately one of the breweries from my "lost" series and I am so very glad I managed to locate physical note information from my beer experience there because long has it been that I have wanted to write a review for this brewery. The beer we had was the R.O.D., a red ale or amber if you prefer. I love a good amber ale sometimes and this one was no exception. It was very good and refreshing. Flavor features for this beer are malty, sweet and some floral is at play here. The beer is nice and smooth which makes this beer experience to be very pleasurable! read more

I love this place. I've been quite a few times. The service is good, the beer is my favorite and the food is excellent. I have tried several of the sandwiches and they make my favorite beer: Scotty Karate. This time around, I did try the root beer as is teas hot, midday and something a bit lighter felt appropriate. They have a large parking lot. The inside is fairly small and they have a large outdoor area. One section of the outdoor area is dog friendly with a separate entrance. If you are in the area, like good beer or good sandwiches, stop in. read more

Beer has always been good. Brussels sprouts were a little underwhelming. Brisket sandwich with horseradish was the closest thing I've had to roast beef on weck out of NY I've had. read more

This is a local spot for me. As many times that I've been here, I was shocked to see I hadn't Yelped about it. Today was during the Blues Festival downtown Marshall. I was planning on spending the day (and night) listening to good music, eating stuff I shouldn't, and drinking sub-par beer from a beer tent. I thought I should start it out with something good and positive before I filled it with regret. Dark Horse has lots of things going for it. Indoors and outdoors. Food and drink. If you are Yelping now, and it's a weekend, you got to stop by. Everything on the menu is good, but for me the pizza is where they shine. If it's the weekend and you're not looking for pizza and beer, you need punched in the face. Go with a flight to make sure you narrow it down to something delicious for the evening. You sell yourself short if you only try one beer. If you come in asking for something like a Budweiser or Coors, punch yourself again. This isn't that place. Grab some merchandise before you leave. read more

Tried this place with a couple coworkers. The service was pretty quick and the ambiance was a quiet pub. We went on a weeknight so not much was going on. We all got pizza, and they were pretty good. The crust was a little dry on the outside, but generous toppings made up for it. I got the Hawaiian but modified it to be more of a BBQ chicken pizza. I'd go back. read more

Food is on point! Cheese breadsticks are the fam go to! Emily and team are great. We've even held a party in the back for 100+ and it was flawless they really know how to get it done. Pizza is so good. read more

Love the breakfast on the weekends. Will be back as long as I can get a table. It feels like the word is getting out so good luck.

Stopped in for a couple beers and food. Wow were we surprised at how cool the atmosphere was in this place and the food was outstanding. Beer was of course great and to my surprise they distill their own vodka so I tried one of their vodka drinks and it was great too. Get here and make sure to take a walking tour in the summer of downtown Marshal. It is a very historic town. read more

Dark Horse Brewing Company is a place you can have fun and be a little noisy. We sampled several of the brews and enjoyed a Detroit style pizza. I live in the Metro Detroit area and was hesitant on ordering it. It was amazingly good. I highly recommend it. Our server was very good and made recommendations that were helpful. One of my favorite episodes of Moonlighting was Mattie and David debating the difference between having a fun time and a fine time. Dark Horse is where you go to have a fun time. I am glad I can enjoy both fun dining and fine dining. read more

The pizza is outstanding with many selections, they have a very large variety of beer from light to a very heavy stout. The outside seating area in the summer is excellent and has its very own horseshoe shaped bar. But the thing that keeps us coming back is the staff. read more

Wow, we want to come in the summer to see a outdoor concert, the venue looks fun or just chill in the amazing outdoor space with the pups. Raspberry Ale beer was on point. They have 17$ 5 oz pours of 5 beers, saddly they were in plastic cups, not glass- better in glass. Beer is great and Dark Horse was bought up by ROAK... not familiar with that company but we see it happen more and more. Loved the inside bar where it has mugs on the ceiling. Lots of personal mugs on the ceiling. Fun place and they have a gift shop and some nice looking deli items to go. We did not eat here, this day they had 4 soup options. Food looks good, beers are extra tasty and the Vibe is Great. GO!!! read more

Food, service, ambiance - everything is on point and chill! Great open air restaurant with great vibes.

Service was great! Their pretzels with cheese sauce is DELICIOUS! We love their beers and pizzas. Fun place!

So much food! I ordered the pot roast and it certainly was a meal for at least 2. The adult juice box was yummy, but I ultimately ended up asking for a real glass and some ice because I couldn't drink it fast enough. I'm ready to go back and check out some other items. read more

Excellent service and great beer, also the fried pickles! We sat in the Beer Garten and it was a great ambiance and nice for a first date! Will try some more of the food next time for sure! read more

Dark horse has always been a staple when it comes to brewpubs. Crooked tree IPA is as good as the first time they made it. I love sitting towards the bar with all of the hanging mugs. The food is also amazing and you mustn't pass up the pizza. Staff is always super friendly and their beer garden in the summertime is so fun, especially with all the dogs. If you haven't been, you should go. It's a Michigan gem. read more

Very friendly atmosphere. Excellent service. Wide variety of styles of beer. The Sapient Trip was delicious.

On the way here I read about the brewery tour and thought what the heck, something different to do and for $10 ea it would be worth it. However their website is wrong because it's $20 a person now. So we decided to skip that and spend it on beer. As far as first impressions,.... Mine was that it's small and kind of dirty looking. The menus had stuff all over them which is gross in my opinion. I love the walls and ceilings with all the glasses though the fish tanks were cool. The service was good and quick and they were helpful. The place was packed but we got a seat right a way just by luck. We wish more beers would have been available then what they had but we found some good choices. They had 12 available to choose from. Reading reviews I was thinking that they didn't have flights but they do. Five 5 oz samples for $17.50. Pretty common pricing. The beers were better than expected and better than I have had at some other places recently. They were accurately described in the menu and I really enjoyed them. For one we agreed on beer I was shocked. We both loved the JAA Black Raspberry Stout and the Toonilla Coffee Stout. The Please the 5th Imperial Stout I also liked but for me it was a bit sweet. The Raspberry Ale smells great but to light of a beer for my liking. The Rain in the Blood my husband liked but I didn't. 4 or if 5 isn't bad though!! For the drive and ambiance though I probably wouldn't return but I would buy the beers at home. read more

What a great lunch spot in Marshall! Easy parking, friendly staff, good food and great beer list! (They don't have wine, just an FYI...) Cute atmosphere with all the beer mugs from the ceiling and on the walls. The Chicken Sandwich with Michigan cherries & celery is a must-try! read more

I hadn't been here in YEARS, but came back a few months ago with a friend. Honestly, he's not even a big beer person and he loved it as did I. It hadn't changed at all and the food was amazing. The cheese was so good, which I know is a small thing but, yeah. Only thing I don't like is how small this place is but hey. Can't wait to come back. read more

We were driving threw the area and decided to stop because they are pet friendly. Their beer garden is GREAT! We started with their Garlic Parmesan Wings. Yummy! These are a must have!!! Their hot sauce came on the side and it was very good! I had their chicken sandwich. Their pickles on the sandwich was VERY good. I asked if they sold them separately and unfortunately they did not. Again, a must have! My husband had their calzone and he said it was OK. Nothing spectacular. I would have given them a 5 star but our service was very slow and he forgot things a couple of times. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt because there were only 2 servers in the beer garden on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Disappointing. So walked in, walked about, and walked out. Was kinda sorta confusing. Bar and tables were full up. No one said hi or hello walking through and it looked like I could possibly hang out at one of the tables in the empty biergarten outside, maybe ...until someone showed up? Honestly, I just don't know and didn't feel like waiting with my tongue out. Super cool space. Looks like lots of fun anyway. Was first on my list of things to do passing thru. Shoot. read more

So our morning trip back home starts here. I have to say that after this flight things get a little fuzzy. But according to him "that was the point!" Any way. This may have been my favorite be spot of the trip. Look how adorable it is!! And these pictures only show the inside. Ok. For starters,.the inside of the bar is pretty small. But adorable!! The bartenders were attentive and quick. I would have never realized there was a giant outdoor seating area until I left! Holy smokes! It is huge!! Very cool location. I would come back without question. read more

We come here often when we are around Marshall, the food is good however we have run into service problems multiple times...just wish they would pay more attention and be aware of people and their orders.....make sure you keep on your food orders and be very clear on what you want to make sure it comes out correctly. read more

This is the coolest brewery. They had 3 different bars serving different beers. The atmosphere is super cool. Plenty of seating even with the parking lot super packed. Their wings were awesome, however I wouldn't recommend the pizza. The pizza crust was weird...maybe gluten free or something...just didn't taste right to us. I would love to go again to try their other stuff. read more

I've liked Dark Horse for a long time. Been going there since college a decade ago. Haven't been since Covid, so hoped Roak would be doing good things. Unfortunately that was not the case. Beer menu was severely limited for a Friday night, one party member finished a beer and noticed mold growing inside the glass, and I got violently ill an hour after eating a Greek salad.... Alas. The times they are a changin. read more

When we visit Michigan, this brewery is a must! The cozy feel, great tasting beer and yummy menu selections make this cool joint something we look forward to. The outdoor patio is pet friendly and great for groups. The cool custom made beer steins hanging from the ceiling for club members give an Old World feel to the room. read more
