Despite its historic significance, The Horse You Came In On is not what you want it to be. At all.

One of the greater disappointments in my life. Would be such a no-brainer to lean into the Poe stuff hard. Spooky bar with Poe-themed drinks and decor. People would go just for the novelty and if you make it even a little upscale you probably wouldn’t have to deal with the fights and violence that place deals with now.

That bar (The Horse) has been trash for a long time.

Oh I know. This disappointment hit me a very long time ago.

Same! My friends and I ventured in there 12+ years ago out of morbid curiosity. Only stayed for one drink. Besides the cover band sucking and being way too loud, the whole vibe screamed “frat party.”

Annabell Lee fits that description if that's what you're looking for.

I genuinely hope OP has a great time with the other suggestions here, but I laughed when the Horse was mentioned. I guess it is “cozy” in a way…

Rye is probably more their speed if they still wanna check it out and then go somewhere actually good.

Thanks. I had a feeling when I looked at photos of the place that it wasn't so hot, but I'm glad to hear it from a local.
