Master Critic Review
Black Horse Pub
8.1
Black Horse Pub is a British-leaning soccer bar where buffalo wings, steak nachos, and pints fuel long match days. Regulars lean on its generous happy hour, full English-style breakfasts on select days, and family-friendly energy that makes it as viable for a plate of wings with kids as for a late-night game.
