Your event.
Our whole heart.

Handcrafted cocktails, fresh flatbread pizzas, and a pasta bar made for gathering. We bring the bar, the food, and the good times to your celebration.

More than bartending.

We bring the bar,
the food, and the calm.

From the first tasting to the final pour, Dark Horse Tavern stays with you through the details—guest counts, dietary needs, drink selections, bar quantities, timelines, and all the last-minute changes real events bring.

You get one experienced team, one unmistakable horse trailer, and a service built to make everything feel easy.

Mobile bar

Thoughtful bar service, custom drink menus, mocktails, signature cocktails, and practical quantity planning.

Late-night flatbread pizzas, build-your-own pasta bars, and corporate lunches. One team for the food and drinks, with plenty of choice for your guests.

03

Full event support

Weddings, private parties, corporate gatherings, festivals, and community events—planned alongside you from start to finish.

The little horse trailer with big plans.

Dark Horse Tavern was built to take hospitality beyond four walls. Based in Barrie and made to travel, our converted horse trailer brings a warm, memorable gathering place wherever your event happens.

Behind the bar is Matt, with a hands-on, family-run approach to every celebration. He builds Dark Horse alongside his kids and his wife, Gracie, who is a huge part of the business. The heart of Dark Horse is looking after people.
