On metal karaoke night, what’s the rep? Is there any limit to what songs you have? For instance, what’s the most common on metal night? Can I karaoke bands like Exodus or Iced Earth or Overkill?

Monday night the song list is a lot heavier than any other night of the week

What night is karaokr

Monday is Metal, Tues is acoustic, Wed is Soul, Thur-Sat are rock. EXCEPT...Tonight is the June Weekend Edition of Soul Live Band Karaoke!!!

What Marta stop are you near

If your taking the train get off at north ave station and get on bus 99. That will take you to the intersection of highlands ave and ponce, and it's about a two block walk from there up highlands ave.

How late is the kitchen open on Sundays??

The whole tavern is closed on sundays

Are the drinks reasonable there?

Average for that area

Do they do the live music on Thursday's?

Yes. They have live music every night except Sunday. It's not in the Dark Horse though. It's down stairs at the 10 High, which is part of Dark Horse.

Is there normally a racial issue here? I wouldn't have thought that my first experience, matter of fact I enjoyed it that's why I came back within a month, but after Saturday night has me thinking differently...🤔🤔

I'm sorry, I don't mean the actual place of business... I HAVEN'T had any issues with the employees, I meant from the customers! Has anyone experienced something like that from the customers??

Is this bar 18 and up?

No. Strictly 21+

Do they have a dress code?

No. Come as you are!!🤗🤗

I had the greatest time doing live band karaoke last weekend. This visit was by far the best ever, because they do not allow smoking anymore. That really made my night. Thank you so much, management!

It was decent on food. Kinda typical. Music was okay when we went but it may have been just an off night. No complaints about atmosphere and drink prices.

Lines are moderate and not that packet. Bouncers do a good job at controlling who comes in and out, and they DO spot fakes. Drinks are reasonably priced. Multiple rooms for dancing and music, and a younger crowd base found throughout. Probably one of my favorite bars in Atlanta for young people.

Fine but we paid $30 to get some decent music on the jukebox and they overrode the jukebox so as not to play any of the songs in the queque. We never heard a single song we’d requested!

I visited Dark Horse Tavern last time I was in Atlanta to ring in my friend's birthday. Sam & Jasmine were our bartenders and they took great care of us! Being from another state it is always interesting to me to see different hospitality throughout the US. Thank you Sam & Jasmine for your great service. I would highly recommend this venue and will definitely return the next time I am in the area.

Great little spot that's very accepting of all. Live band karaoke is not only great, but also encouraging when you go up and sing. The wide variety of songs makes this a great place to visit every time

One of my favorite bars. Bartenders are all quick and friendly! Good music and drinks. My brother and I go there all the time!Also, recently lost a wallet there and it was safely kept until I went back and picked it up a few days later which speaks highly about the staff!

It's dirty, loud, packed, and darkly lit with harsh multi-colored light. The drinks are cheap, the company is rowdy, and the karaoke in the basement has a live band that plays the songs. All of which can be great if you're in the mood, the nice quite bar scene can wear a bit thin at times. If you don't want to be deaf and packed into a dark room with strangers you should probably try this one another time.

Walking along looking for some place cool to hangout and it happened to be karaoke night. Had a great time. Bartenders were easy going and the bouncer was like c'mon in man lol! A little bit of a sausage fest, but it wasn't too bad.

Great spot for a variety of drinks, cocktails and laughs. Plenty of seating for when we had a party of 12 after 10:30pm. Venue downstairs to change it up, bartenders were great, had a fun attitude and even gave us pizza after the kitchen was closed. You always feel taken care of here. Highly recommend for neighborhood bar.

Dark horse used to be awesome. There are 4 bars to order a drink from. This place has gotten way too crowded to have a fun. Do not go here unless you’re okay with being weirdly crowded at all times.

The live band karaoke is incredible. The band, Metalsome, starts at 10:30 but if you want to sing before 1am you need to get there early to pick a song. The band does a fantastic job of leading each song - and keeping you on track if it turns out you don't remember that song as well as you thought you did.

Took my wife here on date night. We went straight down stairs to the live band Karaoke. They will make you feel like a rockstar! If you like karaoke this is a must see place. Drinks are fairly priced and service is fast. I will update the review once we try the bar upstairs.

The LIVE BAND Karaoke Bar downstairs, was perhaps the greatest karaoke bar I’ve been to. Drinks were great, band was great, place was packed. Karaoke doesn’t start til 10:30, but if you want to sing you should get there earlier to hop in line, otherwise you’ll be waiting until 12:30 to even sign up. 10/10 would recommend.

Cool spot for karaoke with a good bar and reasonably priced drinks. 9 below is a really hip location to Screech out your favorite rock and roll and pop punk hits from the past 30 years. The band is always great and you'll have a good time even if the singers (karaoke walk-ups) it's are not particularly good, the band will sing over them. On the other hand, there are a number of regulars that have perhaps even better vocals than the originals. Your first karaoke song is free provided you go up there by yourself. Thursday night is a good night for a smaller crowd, and you can expect it to be packed on the weekends.

This place is usually pretty relaxed but Saturday was lit up!Pros: kareokee downstairs, good beer selection, younger crowd, good location, just a good place to go. Other bars nearby.Cons: their card machine broke so they had issues closing tabs out. But I'm sure that isn't a regular thing!If you want to have some fun check out their kareokee nights!

I absolutely love Dark Horse, it’s a great place to go out. The reason it gets 4 stars is because recently it seems like it has gotten much busier and they don’t seem to do much to limit the number of people they let in. This is leading it to be incredibly crowded on busy nights which makes it significantly less fun

Great music, fun bartenders, and decently priced drinks. The rest of the patrons were also a ton of fun; it’s a really friendly vibe overall. The different rooms and levels makes it easy to split off from the main mob. Back porch is cool, too!

The layout of the bar is a bit complicated. The basement is a different bar and there is a small patio bar and upstairs bar in addition to the main bar on the first floor. Great environment and a fun time indeed, although drinks were a bit slow at the downstairs bar. However it was not due to service. Those bartenders were working hard, simply so packed with young folks looking for a good time. A good problem to have.
