The Pale Horse

We stopped in on a lucky Thursday for us with the grandparents watching our kid. Bar was full but the building wasn't packed so I feel like we got a good representation of how to place kind of normally operates. The vibe is amazing. There's artwork for sale from local artist, the horror movie playing, all the movie posters and memorabilia. All of it's just top-notch theming. You could easily spend an hour just looking at things at the wall and finding new things to find. You can tell a lot of love was put in on having this place have a very interesting aesthetic and a place for horror fans. My criticisms I have a feeling are just going to be growing pains. Food Is best described as snack food. We only got dessert for food and the churros were a little hard but they arrive pretty fast. There was also a apple empanada. I don't see it on the menu but we had it at the table that was a bit soggy from the wet apples. That tasted fine, just a bit soft. Mixed drinks that are featured are very fun. Have some unique twist and I love the flourish on the drinks. Part of the downside is that there's only about eight of them so far and the actual selection of alcohols behind a bar is kind of thin. However, for the mocktail crowd there are six to choose from immediately and they're all good. Again small business bar very much understand. More will come as they grow. Overall, I'm really excited to have this place in the downtown Toledo area. Feel it could be a great third place for horror fans. I hope to see the cocktail menu grow and the kitchen get a bit more complex. Overall, it's a start that has me very eager to see what this place looks like a year down the road.
