Drinks are always strong and excellent, great happy hour deals, and their menu has unique selections for a bar! The staff are ALWAYS so attentive and quick with your drinks. Horshoe is a breath of fresh air in the endless repetitive bar landscape here in the city.

I frequent The Horseshoe Lounge. It’s such an awesome spot to mingle. STRONG drinks. Rae and Johnathan, you’re the best!! The 3pm - 7pm happy hour simply can’t be beat. Especially on Mondays. The Pizza and Truffle & Piggy Tots are on point too. To the bartender I've seen working Wednesday and Saturday…screaming “ID’s!!!! Let’s see em!!” The very second you walk through the door is extremely unwelcoming. Doesn’t deter me though because I love The Shoe.

Great little place for drinks! Did a drink & shot combo & it was great for the price. Enjoyed the space a lot. Came with some friends, sat on cozy couches, and enjoyed some pool. Pickle shots weren’t bad!

The drinks are fairly priced and made correctly. The pool table is nice to have as well. But it is on the smaller side and can get really loud, so definitely not one for nights when you want a quiet intimate time. The bar culture can also be a bit of a frat boy "bro" vibe.
