Dark Horse Tavern

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.

Last week, I took a brief journey back to college.  And it was a deeee-light.

A great layout for a college bar.  Lots of space (two floors), nice bathrooms, large bar areas, and plenty of booths.  There is a small dancing area upstairs equipped with mirrors and a stripper pole (obviously).  The bartenders are nice and efficient and can apparently hear everything even when you are whispering about them.  At one point, amidst chugging the last sip of my pineapple juice and vodka, there was already another one waiting for me!  Now that's service.

One complaint: anyone can bring their laptop and be a "DJ."  The music was crappy and if they had just let me hook up my iPod, I could have rocked that bitch.
