The Dark Horse Social Club
We are closed for January and probably February. We simply don’t have enough help including management and kitchen staff. Additionally, Mark and Trish were injured in a car accident October 25th. Mark will have a rotator cuff repair done in mid January. Trish is still waiting for MRI results from injuries in the wreck. We are taking some time to evaluate our future. When we know, we will either reopen in some form or close permanently and refund gift cards at that time. We appreciate our many loyal customers and cherish the wonderful moments spent and memories made with you all. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our lives this past four years.
Farm to Table
Farm to Table meets Old World Europe. That is the vibe we work for at The Dark Horse Social Club. Not unlike the neighborhood social clubs of centuries past, the Dark Horse offers a gathering place in Defiance’s Historic Downtown. Surrounded by historic architecture and quaint neighborhoods and walking distance to shops and many historic sites, The Dark Horse is a beautiful gem nestled into a calm, quiet corner of a bustling city. We offer as fresh ingredients as possible. Locally farmed beef, artisanal meats and cheeses, whole romaine lettuce (not chemically treated), local jams and many homemade sauces. We make quiche nearly every day. Many of our soups are also made in house. Our flatbreads come in at under 30 carbs. We make our own red and white sauces and always feature a seasonal flavor! Most of our customers leave telling us they felt like they were on vacation. They just can’t believe “this is Defiance!” But it is Defiance! We love this place and we think you will too!
