    Stopped by here for a quick drink. I have to say it's definitely an interesting spot. But we enjoyed it. They had a cool jam band playing which was nice. The beer menu was small but good. The bartender was really nice to. Over all just a fun little place and if I'm ever back up here I would probably come back. I don't think they have a good menu which would be cool if they did. The place has a lot of room.

    What an amazing gem Southbridge has in this tucked away location. Walking by and glancing at the art gallery does not convey the large rocking spaces inside. From open mic/original songwriters Wed to big and small known bands in either the small or large room. The owner Demetri is always around with a bevy of bartenders all friendly and ready to sing. But if you are truly lucky you will come on a Wed or Fri night and meet Rob. But based on many previous visits he probably already knows you. Not only seemingly able to recall everyone he has met try and stump him with obscure song lyrics or drinks. Rob always seems to make the experience memorable and fun.

    Rob the awesome bartender

    This is a great spot with a great bohemian vibe! My husband and I stumbled upon this bar on Yelp. When I walked in there was SO much to look at bc they set up art in the side room, and they sell the art! The bartender Rob asked me if I wanted to see it and showed me around. I think they offer yoga in that space too-but I'm not 100% sure bc the drink I had was very strong! They had a great craft drink menu and they offer live music. The musician we heard was named Nate and he did covers along with his own originals. He had a soulful voice and I'm going to find out when he returns to Starlite so we can hear him again.

    This is a great new unique hot spot that just recently opened up. I highly recommend checking them out on Facebook and hooking up to receive information on all of their scheduled Events. Besides a very nice bar set up, they have a large space where they schedule lots of live music. They are currently having Monday Blues night every Monday at 7PM and lots of other talented live musicians and bands most Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Lots of other things are happening here like Art Opening Displays, Board Game nights, Sport Events and more. They also have a projector screen displaying everything from old movies, football games and artwork. This is a real nice place, a far cry from the many dive bars in Southbridge. They are located at 39 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, MA. Definitely worth it to check them out !

    Chalkboards or art exhibits adorn the walls allowing for an interactive experience. Drink menu is full of unique liqueur and fresh fruits and herbs. Definitely city feel with small town prices

    My favorite bar in town.  Friendly atmosphere to see local artists display rotating artwork and stellar live music.

    Great staff, this is a local bar with personality. Don't expect top shelf options just top shelf service.

    Only bar in the area where you can see a band play almost any night of the week. Great prices!

    We recently tried the Dark Horse Tavern on a Saturday evening. We got there at opening (5 o'clock)…read moreand it was already dark out, it was confusing where the entrance was, but we found it. We entered and were immediately impressed by the decor and setting. You really feel like you entered a time capsule from a different era, everything is beautiful. We were seated in a cute little area. We ordered our drinks and we really wanted the fish chowder for our app, but they didn't have any (so disappointing). My husband decided on the chili and nothing caught my eye for an app, but I had some bites of the chili and it was very very good! For dinner my husband picked the Beef and Guinness Stew and I picked the Fish and Chips. My fish was very good, but it said it came with hand cut fries and there was no way they were hand cut, they tasted like everything other frozen fries I've had and they were really skimpy on the fries. My husband's Beef and Guinness Stew was awful, he said the meat was very grizzly and tough. We really enjoyed our experience dining in such a beautiful place, we might come back in the summer and give them another try.

    Amazing waitstaff, great ambience, and terrific food. I wish we lived closer. It has a sort of…read moreclandestine/hidden gem vibe. My husband had the beef and Guinness stew and I had the classic wedge salad - both fab. Our server was so attentive. I recommend trying the cocktail of the day, if you happen to be a cocktail person.

    Nice spot to grab lunch with my friend. The bartender was very sweet and attentive, the drinks were…read morewell made. We ordered a pretzel, which was a solid okay. The cheese sauce was a bit runny making it hard to eat politely. We had a steak and cheese and a turkey sandwich, both with house chips. The water there tasted awful, we did have to order bottled. They should probably consider a filtration system. Before I came I thought this was a high end place but upon arrival realized it's quite casual. We were in the downstairs bar, I understand there is an upstairs so maybe that is fancier? Either way it's super laid back. I will say the bathroom near the bar need an update. It was not just dirty, it was run down and ragged. Our lunch /drinks for 2 was $180 with tip and I would expect a decent bathroom and drinkable water for that level of restaurant pricing.

    French. Onion. Soup. A couple years ago I had this at the Red Fox Bar and Grill in Jackson, NH,…read moreand thought it was so good none would ever top it. But Sturbridge Porterhouse did. The key was the savory broth and three types of onion. Cheese (Gruyère) and large croutons completed this delicious soup. My wife and I also had small Caesar salads, mind with added anchovies, and these were also great. We were there on Memorial Day (Monday) and it was really quiet, but I can imagine it would be crowded on weekends.
