Dark Horse bar plans to relocate to a different Colorado city after closing down in Boulder

After shutting down operations at their longtime home in Boulder last month, the Dark Horse appears poised for a resurgence.

The famous bar plans to relocate to Louisville, more specifically at the location that used to be an Outback Steakhouse. That's according to the bar's general manager Sean James. James says management has a lease in hand but hasn't signed it just yet.

The location under consideration is at 988 West Dillon Road. That's off Highway 36 in Louisville right by the McCaslin Boulevard exit. The building most recently was home to a restaurant called DJ's Watering Hole.

The news comes as fans bring home their auction items from the former bar. Some items sold for thousands of dollars, including a vintage hearse that sold for $6,250.

So far it's not clear how soon the bar might be able to open up at the new location in eastern Boulder County. Roller Auction, which sold memorabilia from the former location, shared that they expect a second auction by the end of the summer. They say Dark Horse will reopen by then.
