This place is a dive. So as long as you know that before entering you will have a great time!! The Horseshoe Tavern is well over 60 years old. I remember being a teenager and seeing some great bands here. It was one of the cool spots to play at and to go watch a band.
I didn't get there in time for music this time, but had a great time sitting at the bar. One of the bar tenders has worked there for 27 years. His service was great. Made us feel welcome even though we didn't walk in till after 1am. He was talkative, joked around with us, and made sure he gave us another beer before he had to turn the taps off! The rest of the staff were friendly too.
This is definitely somewhere you should stop into while wondering Queen St on a weekend night!
