Darkhorse Tavern

Yes it's small....I'd say it a dive bar that serves bar food.
The wings are awesome and on wing night they are CHEAP!
Birdsauce wings are the best followed by BBQ

We are here during the summer so we got right in and sat right down
Note: enter Calder Way...."Front" Door isn't always open?

I have mixed feelings about Darkhorse Tavern. Don't get me wrong because I know that the drinks are dirt cheap. You can literally get a mixed drink for like $3, and a pint of beer for $2, but that's like all the other places in State College. What kills me is that it's small as hell. Once you manage to get through the line and pay cover, good luck trying to get some elbow room. You're literally packed elbow to elbow with the horde of people trying to get their drink on.

There's a live band throughout the week over here, but that just ends up crowding up the place even more. On top of the people that you're battling to grab a drink at the bar, you now have to deal with drunkards dancing around the live band.

They have bathrooms here, but they're horribly placed right between the two bars and a narrow walkway. Open your door slowly or else you might knock out someone's teeth. Towards the back, there is another bar that is less crowded, but that area is narrow as hell, so be prepared to squeeze pass a bunch of people.

Darkhorse by far is not my top choice of drinking spots. It's crowded, grimy, and even dares to charge cover. If it wasn't for the ridiculously cheap alcohol, I would refuse to come here again.

I was pretty past my limit when I visited here, but it seemed fun. It had some pretty strong and cheap drinks and a ton of people were here. So it has to be fun. Just didn't seem like anything extra special. Just a good college bar.
