This is biker central. If you ride a hog or have any desire to ride one - this is where you hang out. Chrome Horse has high ceilings and lots of space. Jen and I visited this bar at different times, so we both have different opinions about it in our heads, and perhaps a repeat visit to freshen up our views might yield a better review from me, but I know the few times I have been there it has been packed with people playing pool and dancing awkwardly to the live music. My memories of this place involve loud noises, pushy people, and waiting 30 minutes to get a beer. Things might have changed, and obviously if you go during the week it would be less crowded. Jen's memory of the place was different. She got a good vibe from the place, said the bartenders seemed friendly despite the place being busy. She said it is busy thanks to their awesome menu, which might have swayed my opinion--food is definitely the way to win my heart. They often have live music and she has seen different types of food and beverage bars... i.e. Bloody Mary bar, or Taco Bar. Not sure if that kind of thing is a norm, but it sure sounds pretty sweet! There is a nice seating area outside for "biker watching" in the summer time...too bad it is a little too cold this time of year or we might go for another visit together and get a fresh perspective on it.
