Dark Horse Tavern - City of Cortland

The Dark Horse IS Cortland. I don't know much about Cortland.. but I know every college kid goes here at one point during the night. The Dark Horse offers two separate types of environments in one place.... The downstairs is low key (peaceful) and the upstairs is a club (jungle). Whatever you're into, you can find it here.

I wish Dark Horse had more t shirts to buy! Dark Horse has nice bartenders! I wish Dark Horse had chicken wings and tacos every day! I wish they kept lost items longer!

Driving home from Rochester and wanted to get off the interstate, have lunch, and stretch our legs a bit. This was a pretty good call and a pure YELP find. A true college bar and restaurant in a cute small college town. We sat at the bar instead of a table. The town was still sleepy on a warm February Sunday and the crowd was small. Small as in more staff than patrons. The husband had a Ceasars Salad which was ehh, and I an ehh BLT. Food may have been better next door but this was good enough before we continued our car ride home.

Between the racist dress code (no oversized clothes, no durags) and the stingy amount of alcohol they put in your drink, and the nasty bathrooms with no room, I don't need to ever go back there. We didn't finish our drinks, headed over to Central afterwards. Place is overrated AF.

Rip off. $18 for four shots . Overpriced for shitty alcohol. Go somewhere else. This place isn 't worth your money.
