Keep the memory
of Dark Horse
Alive
The best local spaces become part of people’s lives, and Dark Horse did that. It gave Boulder something real, weird, and memorable. This book exists to preserve that.
You don’t make a book like this for just any bar…
You make it for a place that became part of people’s lives. A place with grit, humor, history, personality, and a look you could spot from a mile away, a place that felt bigger than itself.
This commemorative photo book is a tribute to the Dark Horse and the impact it had on Boulder. Every page is about preserving what made it special, not just as a business or a building, but as a real cultural space people loved.
It’s for the regulars, the old friends, the college students, grad parties, frat homies, and the locals who brought everyone there. Dark Horse left an imprint on everyone who visited, who don’t want to let the memories go.
If the Dark Horse meant something to you, this book belongs on your shelf.
For the regulars.
For the locals.
For the people.Dark Horse Forever
This photo book was created to honor Dark Horse the way it deserves to be honored, with real love for what it meant to Boulder and to the people who made it what it was.
A commemorative photo book celebrating the Dark Horse Bar in Boulder through images, atmosphere, and memory. For anyone who loved it, miss it, or want to remember it.
From the minds of three local photographers, we set out to capture the last moments of this legendary hangout. Every Wednesday after class we ate, drank, and photographed the endless details. We are not officially associated with Dark Horse, just avid appreciators and bar top regulars. This book is a tribute, and we made with ourselves in mind. We loved every sip, bite, and friend we made throughout the years.
With love,
Mark, Taylor, & T.J.
