Ok I'm starting with.... This place is deceiving! It's not in the best area and during the day it looks trashy from the outside but I was curious. My co worker had a long drive back home so I offered we go get a drink to waste time and not sit in traffic on a Friday night. We walked over from where we work and I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. They were playing great music, they have a pool table and they open up the front so you can see the interior of the bar from the sidewalk. The bartender knows how to make drinks!!! They were good. We ordered tater tots and the dipping sauces that came with it one being ketchup and the other one I am not sure what it was but it was great. I'm impressed with the bartender, there was a group of 7 people and they were getting hammered! LOL They had just done a round of shots and they were drinking something else. The bartender cut them off. I've never seen that before but I respect that. Good job for caring about them and not what they are spending on drinks. I'm def going back again!!! Cheers read more

First time here and it's so close to home, I'm glad that my experience was so pleasant! I asked the bartender what can he make with bourbon and made me this delicious strawberry margarita! It was soooo good! Also ordered the smash burger and Cesar salad, they were both satisfying and tasty; I will definitely be back. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside and the only reason it doesn't have a 5 star rating is because of parking! Theres street parking in front and down the street. read more

Visited the Dark Horse Tavern on Saturday night with a friend to support her DJ friends who were hosting House music! Parking was street parking which could be limiting depending on what time you go, but I found parking easily around 930pm not too far from the entrance. The tavern is large and spacious with the bar room and then the music/dance room, plenty of space to mingle and to move around. At the bar I ordered a Pineapple infused vodka cocktail special and wow, it tasted so good like fruit punch! The music was upbeat and fun and all the patrons are friendly, I made new friends and danced the night away! Will definitely come back again! read more

It was ok this time around, the bartenders are not consistent when it comes to making their specialty cocktails. This time around my old fashion was filled to the midline (if even so, large ice cube took most of the cup space) I have photos to prove it. Then a small fight broke out but was resolved rather quickly although it left bad taste in my mouth and I left shortly after. The blonde haired bartender that Saturday was not pleasant at all, dry attitude. My first impression of her was way below my standards as a paying customer. oh well. read more

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Came here for the first time on a Wednesday and it was such a vibe. The bartenders were these 2 phenomenal females Natalie and Stacy who had the best service and made some amazing espresso martinis. Super happy I came to this place now I know where to be on my Wednesday nights. This whole place is a vibe and the dj spinning was so fire he lit the place up. And food hit the spot will definitely be coming back here for more food and drinks and vibes. read more

I love this bar. No matter what day of the week it is, this place always provides a pleasant and fun atmosphere, especially because of the wonderful and friendly service provided by Stace, Mike, Jenn and Brent. They make the BEST drinks! It's as if they have eyes in the back of their head. They immediately notice when you're running low on your beverage and either give a refill or ask if you want another, depending on what you're drinking. Always has a good crowd here. They play great music. Karaoke night is one of my favorite. Now let's talk about the food. Who knew bar food would be so tasty. Chavez's food is consistently good. I always order the Cesar salad which always has the perfect amount of creamy dressing, which they toss for you. The honey bbq and Parmesan garlic wings are delicious. Perfectly baked every singe time. The smash burger is incredible. The exterior is perfectly crispy and juicy in the inside. The bun is perfectly toasted. The perfect amount of cheese and grilled onions. read more

Friendly servers, awesome beer selections, strong but not overdone cocktails, and terrific food. You can't ask for much more from a gastropub. It could be prettier or more formal, but then it wouldn't really be a tavern, now would it? Awesome watering hole. read more

I absolutely loved the espresso martini, it was not only delicious but also a fantastic price! The mango habanero wings were delicious as well and would order them again. The restaurant is a good vibe and grear aesthetic. I appreciated when the bartender turned the Nirvana-themed music station to literally anything else. read more

Ugh what can I say about this home away from home. Been going here for YEARS! I moved pretty far away but when I do pay a visit I always get welcomed with love! It's honestly my sanctuary and it's rare to find places like this now a days. Everyone here is super friendly and welcoming, we're our own little community. Stace,Brent, Mike and Jen are truly such amazing ass people that really pay attention to who you are and they actually remember what you drink. Never have I walked out of here with a disappointing experience. Everyone here are family. The weekends are the best and super entertaining! As in food????? Amazing! You get what you pay for, trust! Everything here is delicious. It's not your typical bar food, no ma'am nothing reheated here! So if you're looking for a good place to have a first date or just come and have lunch/dinner in the area...THIS IS THEEEEEEE PLACE! read more

Love visiting the bar seeing Jen and Stacy. They both are very sweet. The service is nice, and the ambiance is very laid back. Exactly why I come here and visit. read more

I really enjoyed this bar. My friends and I decided to check it out on a whim. Parking was easy - we just parked in the lot across the street. We ordered the giant Moscow Mule which was absolutely hilarious. It serves 12 people and will set you back $65 if I recall correctly. You have to put a deposit down on the copper mug. After drinking significant amounts of booze, we worked up an appetite. The fries were good, but the pretzel was terrible. They had karaoke in the other room but it was pretty repulsive. Some of those people should not have been singing on that stage. Staff are super friendly and flirty here. It was fun talking to them and just observing their behavior. Overall good experience! I'll definitely be back :) read more

Friendly bartenders and the karaoke nights are always fun. Shoutout to Mike! Never have to wait long to get a drink when you're ordering from him. I like to get there around 8-9pm to get a table and just see the bar begin to fill up with people on Fri/Sat nights. Always good vibes and the crowd is pretty diverse from what I've seen. read more

I went to Dark Horse for my first time this past Friday. There was an event there for house music. It was awesome! The music was on point by the Djs. The bartenders were friendly. The other bar goers were cool too. It's a really cool spot. I'm coming back on a regular day for sure to check out their food. Great place. read more

Dark Horse Tavern - List of beers! Get it! - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was wonderful. I ordered the chicken sandwich which was incredibly hot and I started to sweat a lot. I didn't really care for it. I ordered the Jamaican 10 Speed for a drink. I am a light drinker so when I do drink it hits at a certain point during the drinking. However, this time it never hit me, at all. I paid $12.48 for alcoholic drink where there was no alcohol put into it. I noticed it as I was leaving and thinking if this how they do business then I should have went some where else for New Year's Eve. There are other eating places in the area that actually serve alcohol and I chose this place. As for the ambiance, there was some questionable music on when I first entered, when I asked the bartender to switch it he honored the request. read more

Was told the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but then a group of 3 that walked in after us was able to order some fries which is what we had wanted. Got an old fashioned and a Diablo. Old fashioned was good and on the stronger side. Karaoke was going on. There were a lot of people but had no trouble getting a seat and it didn't feel crowded. The bartender (I think Mike?) was nice and checked in even though it was busy. read more

Cute little place on Reseda, went during Halloween time and they had fun, creepy decorations. Got the Chicken sliders & House fries with maple ketchup and cholula aoli. The food was simple but good, really liked the Cholula aoli sauce. I know its a bar but i wish the portions were a little bigger.. Staff was pleasant and the atmosphere was nice, had fun watching people do karaoke. read more

Tasty drinks and food! Plus it just feels so cozy in there now. Will for sure be coming back!

If you want to feel like you're out of the valley but still in the valley, I think the Darkhorse Tavern does a nice job. I can't remember which night is karaoke night but it feels like almost every night it's karaoke night. Which the turnout was pretty good so it ends up being a lot of fun. I think the staff is really great. And it makes coming here I'm much better time. I'm glad there's plenty of parking off to the side or across the street. There's nothing more fun than trying to get back to your car after spending a night at the dark horse, running across a busy street. Because that's what you do. I really enjoyed the top selection. Especially the flights. And the top shelf selection is not bad for a valley top shelf. I tried some of the appetizers. But I can't honestly tell you how good or bad they were after a couple flights of beer. They were memorable bad, but they were memorable good either. read more

I'm liking this bar. The drinks are good and for a bar their food is always delicious. They have a daily happy hour from 4-7 pm with $5 drinks and $6 eats which include chicken tacos, hummus and flat bread, and flatbreads. They also have a menu on the wall and other posted specials. It's worth the try. They also have karaoke on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. read more
