Located on Alcester Road (Moseley), The Dark Horse is a vibrant pub dedicated to providing the locals of Moseley (and those beyond) with the three main staples of life: craft beer, tasty food and live music.
Formerly a pop-up pizzeria (who remembers Mo’ Dough?), The Dark Horse is sister to the Brum-famous institution known as The Prince of Wales and a stalwart of Moseley’s independent scene. Hugely popular, bustling and lively – this is a place for great food to be consumed in large quantities and delicious craft beer to be quaffed, all amidst the good company of friends. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
So let’s talk beer. At any one time, The Dark Horse has tonnes of different craft beers (including 15 rotating lines) with the line-up of diverse beers changing regularly to keep things fresh and exciting. Rock up to the bar, order an old favourite or something new and exciting (most likely with a snazzy label) and enjoy the tasty and wonderful world of craft beer. Indeed, because The Dark Horse are also believers of that age old adage that variety is the spice of life, they hold regular tap takeovers from prominent breweries (both local and across the country) to offer you an array of the newest and most exciting beers to be found in Brum. But with all this beer drinking, you’ll need some grub to line your stomach, right? Right! Well, luckily for you, The Dark Horse have you covered on that front too.
Food, glorious food. The Dark Horse knows that the best beers deserve the best food to go with them, so they’ve created a menu packed full of British pub classics with an American dive bar twist. With the likes of mouth-watering smash burgers, crispy fried chicken and highly shareable small plates on the menu, you’re in for an absolute feast when you dine here. This is comfort food at its finest, and not only that but the Dark Horse team are making sure to source their ingredients from the best suppliers and locally wherever possible to ensure the best quality food for their customers.
On top of the delicious pub grub menu, on Sundays you can enjoy a delicious Sunday roast from local foodie legends Brum Mi. Expect all the comfort of a classic Sunday roast with delicious roast meats (and veggie options), Yorkshire puds, crispy roast potatoes and tasty seasonal veggies. This is a seriously good roast, so if you’re yet to try it get booking your table now and thank us later!
Last, but certainly not least, what pub would be complete without live music? And The Dark Horse provides just that, and more. The Dark Horse hosts regular live music events featuring local (and national) bands so that you can come and support Birmingham’s ace independent music scene in your favourite pub. Head to their website or check their social media pages to keep up to date on all the latest events, then get down there and have some fun whilst supporting local, drinking delicious beers and scoffing tasty grub. Nice one.
The Dark Horse is a fun and unique experience which leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. We’ll see you there. First round on you, yeah?
